This makes zero sense. There have been four Covid deaths in the last two weeks in DC. Hospitalizations continue falling. We’re under 100 cases a day with a 1% positive test rates.
Enough.
Enough.

Mendelson’s follow up point - about kids - is even more ridiculous. For the entirety of the pandemic there have been about 700 kids 18 or under who have died *nationwide*. About what we would expect from two flu seasons. Kids are MANY orders of magnitude less at risk than adults.
DC should focus on vaccinations, as I explained when the mayor reinstituted this nonsensical policy originally: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
For context: the total number of Covid deaths in the last two weeks (4) is the same as the number of people murdered in DC *since last Friday* washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/…
