I don’t particularly even mind masks, but is there *any* science or logic to this, given how low DC’s numbers are in general and specifically for actual hospitalization/serious illness?
I’ve been looking through things since the announcement, and I really can’t find anything — from the DC government or otherwise. Anyone?
Here’s where we’re going to get some information. And while I appreciate many of the replies, I do not appreciate people reading an “anti-masking” or similar motive into my question here. It’s not. It fits well within everything y’all know about me that I’d want more info.
When federal “guidance” becomes a local “mandate,” it’s important (for me, at least) to understand the pieces. And, for planning for the future, I want to understand those pieces. Should this suggest a change in how I’m thinking about travel? About longer-term plans? Etc.

Christine Baranski, Sarah Steele, and Mandy Patinkin in fake court is inspired.
You have to love a show that goes from Georges Seurat as a judge in one episode to Velma Kelly as judge in the next.

“Order, design, composition … but I simply cannot do it alone.”
Audra, Aaron, and Bebe! What a courtroom! The Good Fight is, at its most surreal times, incredible Broadway fan fiction.

Anyway, people matter. It’s been touch and go today when it comes to my mood, but I have been able to maintain some semblance of OK-ness bc I’ve been talking with people and asking for help wherever I need it. To those who have helped: Thanks, it is so appreciated.
It really is a series of unfortunate events — none of which are horrible and all of which, independently, would just be annoyances — but, yeah, I sorta went into a loop of negative thinking last night that’s still not all gone. But, I’m working through it, and I’ve kept going.
(Yes, this is an unthreaded continuation of the “our health care system is maddening” thread. (But, I will say, several folks within said system were relatively to very helpful today.))

On the Garland death penalty actions tonight: The steps being taken here are good, but woefully incomplete and not-unlike the Obama-era actions that ultimately led nowhere and allowed Trump and Barr (and then Rosen) to put 13 people to death.
Here’s the memo: justice.gov/opa/page/file/… / A. is fine, but mostly amounts to a delaying tactic (& is similar to that of the Obama era). B. is important, but the “consultation” there is going to needlessly delay rescinding a bad order. C. is very important and should move quickly.
Now, what’s really most distressing here to me is Garland’s quote. What is this? Is this a Janet Reno quote? Come on. Biden campaigned on opposing the death penalty, and Garland is his attorney general. What a sort of a weak quote is this? It’s 2021.

In 10 minutes, we’ll be getting the final #SCOTUS decisions for the term. Two sets of cases remain outstanding: one set is the Voting Rights Act cases out of Arizona and the other addresses donor disclosure requirements in California.
BREAKING: Brnovich is first. Alito, for a 6-3 court, upholds both Arizona voting restrictions. More to come. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
Important from the majority: The Supreme Court "decline[s] in these cases to announce a test to govern all VRA §2 claims involving rules, like those at issue here, that specify the time, place, or manner for casting ballots."
