DC reports zero deaths with COVID.

Positives / Tests %
1-Day: 35 / 3,180 1.10%
7-Day: 295 / 26,015 1.13%
14-Day: 658 / 50,518 1.30%
28-Day: 1291 / 93,070 1.39%

Positives continue to move with testing volume.

1.1% not good enough for @MayorBowser.

We hit her 35 max on the nose but only because testing volume dipped.

Firmly in range where all positives could be false positives.

Ward 3 meets the new standard already, but only due to lower testing volume.

DC flat near zero, easily meeting all original phase 3 criteria, for over three months.

New, contrived criteria are likely impossible at true zero.

Public schools closed. Private schools crippled by 11 students per room cap no matter how big the room.

Why do we tolerate this?
