A 26 year old was the last surviving member of his family. He was found shot to death in his apt last fall. 9 months later, the DC Medical Examiner still lists manner of death ‘undetermined’. His family believes Zack Freeling was murdered. Story here: fox5dc.com/news/nobody-be…
Medical Examimer’s office declined to elaborate on why Freeling’s death was still deemed ‘undetermined’ suggesting I reach out to MPD, who told me they’re still investigating and urged me to reach out to ME. It’s a back and forth Freeling’s family has been stuck in. #Fox5DC
Freeling’s family has been happy with MPDs handling of this investigation but is frustrated that it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. They’ve started a GoFundMe, Justice for Zack Freeling, to pay for private investigators & a reward, hoping someone with more info comes forward.

Imagine having a bar across the street from Nats Park, gearing up for Opening Day, then being told you have to shut down 20% of your business with 24 hours notice. A reality for @waltersbardc when @DDOTDC told him to take this down during games. We’re live at 10+11 on #Fox5DC
*48 hours notice!! Sorry!!
Walter's owner, Jeremy Gifford says DDOT told him it was a safety issue. And the stop order specifically references taking the structure down for the 3 hours before the game and 2 hours after. Something that's impossible to do with the structure he's built.

DELTA VARIANT THREAD:

If you're like me, you've seen many seemingly contradictory reports about the Delta variant.

We took our questions to Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease doctor.

Number 1 question we got: Are the vaccines effective?

Short answer: So far, yes.

#WTAE
Dr. Adalja says the Pfizer & Moderna vaccines are showing to be highly effective.

Preliminarily, he says J&J is also showing that it's effective at preventing the Delta variant.

"The vaccines, if you’re fully vaccinated, I think you’re fine from the Delta Variant perspective."
But what about some of these reports we're seeing?

Australia is locking down cities. The World Health Organization is encouraging fully vaccinated people to wear masks. What's going on?

Adalja says, to put it bluntly, the U.S. is more vaccinated than other parts of the world.

NEW AT 5&6

One of the biggest questions surrounding COVID vaccine research is what to do about a potential booster dose.

Pitt is jumping into that conversation. It's 1 of 12 sites across the country chosen to conduct a trial surrounding this question.

wtae.com/article/covid-…
A preliminary study in Great Britain looked at a third booster dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and determined that it boosted the immune response against COVID-19.

wsj.com/articles/third…
But Pfizer and Moderna announced the results of a study that said that immunity from the first two doses could last for years.

There's no specific conclusion at this point. It's still being studied, and that's part of what will be happening at Pitt.
