Wiehle tie-in: How the Silver Line to Dulles & Ashburn ended up held up by a few circuit boards
wtop.com/tracking-metro… #WMATA #MWAA
If you're looking for (mostly) non-coronavirus news - I got some documents showing the Silver Line software issues in some form go back to before Phase 1 even opened to riders wtop.com/tracking-metro…
The potential coronavirus link is that with so many fewer riders, Airports Authority now sees shutting down Wiehle-Reston East for a few weeks as something feasible to re-jumpstart things. That would take Metro availability to shift things around though wtop.com/tracking-metro…
While there has been some progress on a plan to address these issues, #WMATA still wants to see more software documentation wtop.com/tracking-metro…

My bro has been self-quarantined bc he unknowingly came in contact w a #coronavirus patient. When he accidentally missed a call from a local health center for twice a day temp check, they were like “if you EvER leave home we hv to track you down w our police. Answer your phone.”
Okay to be exact - my mom and bro have been both self-quarantined. Bro went to mom’s workplace to help her to her room, and both got in contact w mom’s colleague who came to work WHILE running fever and showing other obvious #coronavirus symptoms. What the actual fuck.
After they found out mom’s colleague tested positive, they received several calls- from mom’s employer, local health clinic asked their personal info and how they got in contact, places they went, etc. 1339 hotline was super helpful too. Everything was so streamlined.

A dog in #HongKong tested positive for the #COVID19 virus.
As a precaution, the government declared cats & dogs whose owners test positive would be collected & delivered to a “designated animal keeping facility for quarantine & veterinary surveillance.

Hong Kong declared cats & dogs whose owners test positive for #COVID19 would be collected & delivered to a “designated animal keeping” facility.
CDC suggests restricting contact with pets if the owner is infected, including “petting, snuggling, being kissed, & sharing food.”
If you get the flu, do what people have done throughout history. Avoid being around others, except for your pets, & don’t allow anyone around you who has authority to haul you off to a pathogen-infested concentration camp.
You’ll get well sooner.

#wmata construction personnel have requested their track rights for the massive Yellow/Blue Line shutdown.

107 days starts....now.
Good advice! Try your best not to drive alone; it'll slow down buses and the shuttles and mean everybody gets to their destination later than they want. #wmata
