Cool story bro
Washington DC is the nation’s capital, so people are going to gather to protest things and that is beyond the mayor’s control. She’s controlling what she can, and I think has been doing a wonderful job of getting those numbers down and following the guidelines that we do have.
Ok yeah so numbers are down, so time to open?
Weird that a day of collective action in support of civil rights triggered this reaction but the president’s blatant abuse of office to host a rally on White House grounds (that actively encouraged no masks and no distancing) didn’t set you off.
Lol did you see that nancy pelosi was caught in a salon with no mask! They opened the salon just for her bc salons in that area were closed for Covid....DOUBLE STANDARD
if its ok to have a gathering like that then its ok to increase capacity at restaurants, gyms, bars, offices, schools, religious gatherings, etc.
Legit POV... covid has been politicized so much. And the strong reactions here prove it
The DC mayor can’t control what happens on federal property, plain and simple.
And one more thing...second wave never happened back when people said that black lives matter protesters would cause a second wave. If cases again dont rise after a gathering of thousands of people from all over the country...then I definitely dont see a valid justification to keep things closed the way they are. It just doesnt make any sense

Yeah, it's about politics, not public health
BAH OP really like to rile s*** up. I love it. Speaking some tough truths here haha
Religious services have still been limited since March. Not that anyone cares enough to do something about it.
Ok so im gonna say. You cross the water and go to Virginia or go to Maryland and businesses are more open more than dc. Wtf? Thats so close. Someone explain to me Anywhere else in the country, in a normal place, non tristate, there would be consistency within the same distance....COME ON.
We will see how it works in NYC and Jersey going forward. Jersey city is like Arlington and has way less restrictions than the city
Outdoor gatherings present much lower risks. Opening up more capacity indoors presents a significantly higher risk.
So maybe we should stay closed forever until there are 0 global cases...sounds like a good solution....somethings got to give at some point

OP, I’m sorry the impacts are hard on you. I suggest looking into mindfulness techniques to help release some of that intensity and cope with the things out of your control.
