[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, that is shocking. Additionally, her aide Nesbitt cited density as one reason that Covid is spreading in Columbia Heights and the 16th Street Corridor yesterday. They seem to want to have it both ways. Or maybe one way? (lining pockets and paying her reelection campaign)?[/quote]

Incredible.  Do you have a link to Nesbitt’s statement? Thanks.[/quote]

Here you go

"The rate of infection increased in two neighborhoods: Columbia Heights and 16th Street Heights. When asked why this might be, Nesbitt cited high housing density and a larger proportion of residents who are essential workers. Race and ethnicity also may be factors, she said.

Many people newly diagnosed with the virus appear to have caught it from someone in their own home. Households with elderly family members or essential workers are at greater risk. "

Oh.

So density is really not the driving factor then.

Thanks for posting.[/quote]
