1) In 1918, they shot people in the street for not wearing masks 2) Yeah... they had great big seething riots, civil disobedience, and ended up at herd immunity anyways. It's not exactly a happy precedent.
Really helpful! Do you understand the N95 and face mask percentages? Is DC doing really well on that metric or really poorly?
I think those are percentages of supplies needed through summer, so that would not be very good. I'll followup more on this tomorrow
Is Phase 1 defined as Birx defined it a while back or is there a DC-specific definition?
It's based off those federal guidelines, so same phase
Are they tracking when the swab was taken versus reported? I wasn’t counted for two weeks because of testing delays (thanks private labs), but I just hope they are taking that into consideration.
The lockdown is very likely to be extended because they want to both expand testing to more populations and see a decrease in cases for 14 days straight.
