Seems pretty inconsistent that muriel bowser and dc council made it more difficult to move to phase 3 in dc but its ok to have a large political gathering with people flying in from all over the country, while other incoming tourist travel is banned...seems like a double standard. I say if its ok to host a large political gathering then its ok to move to phase 3.

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

And one more thing...second wave never happened back when people said that black lives matter protesters would cause a second wave.

It just doesnt make any sense

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.
