No. If you do indoor dining or bars anywhere, you know the chance you are taking at this point.



What about the employees who are forced to work there?

Shouldn't we all be paying them to stay home and not work?

Oh yes we did.


I had stopped, too. Now I'm supposed to go back to wearing one in my empty DC government office. Awesome.

I prefer to get infected after all the people who refuse to wear masks, get vaccinated or bolstered, or those who eat or drink indoors in public places. Eventually the virus mutates so it doesn't kill as many people.

The goal is to get it in the last wave or thereafter, not in the multiple waves before that.

I don’t know. People seem to love their pacifiers.


Wear the right masks then. Problem solved.


Unless you’re living completely inside a positive pressure bubble you’re not going to evade it forever. It’s in the air. It’s on surfaces. It’s everywhere in the environment. We’re all going to get infected sooner or later. May as well just accept that.

Yes they did. Even employees in restaurants did. I was pretty surprised.

Errr... What's the population in DC? Are there about 1,000 libraries?


The slide show says that 1,000,000 rapid tests have been ordered. 42,000 are already available. 200,000 are in transit.

And, yes, the city's population is about 700,000. Presumably we would go through the tests in one day. But this is better than nothing. My family and our three guests will try to avail ourselves of our free test to make the one gathering we are having safer than it would have been otherwise.



Tests are not for your guests. They are for DC residents

That’s what CNN reported but NBC4 is reporting that it starts tomorrow morning.
