istrict of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser yesterday ordered a one-month extension of the state of emergency, as cases in the region grow at a rapid pace. Federal officials in the nation's capital expect a New York-like epidemic in the District, Maryland and Virginia, one that could potentially cripple the government.

So now that the surge hasn’t happened and the boogie-man curve has flattened “they” have moved the goalposts to the unattainable goal of totally eradicating the virus.
As in NO NEW CASES.
Anywhere.
Globally.
An iPhone in a dark parking lot with a blacked out MRAP?
Not sure I would have gotten much, really.
I’ve never seen a vehicle like that in person, before.
I was sort of so gobsmacked that I barely thought to look at the plate.
I’ll keep an eye out for another sighting.
Lots of odd things lately, being trailered up I68 west that “disappear” near the “wildlife management area” exit.
The place I mentioned is dimmed but not dark, tonight.
My son works in DC, not far from the White House, and has been working from home for a month now.
Simple solution. Make HCQ, Zinc and Azithromycin availabl e over the counter so its available to the public. These drugs have been around forever and the pertinent side effects are well known plus their efficacy are well known. Lets all go back to work. Checked Goodrx and they are cheap.
Homeland Security has been buying those for local police departments for the last 10 years. There are at least three, with different PDs, in a 10 mile radius. Which is excessive. They don’t seem to roll out very often.
Not a surprise that Congress runs away. The Congress is interested in two things, your money and your vote.

Why would it have a US Gov plate rather than a state plate?

I haven’t checked the reason/s for any US spikes, tho I was expecting some the minute the ending of lock-downs was announced, but:
18 Apr: Sun UK: CARE DEATH TOLL Coronavirus deaths in care homes could be as high as 7,500, according to new figures
by Shaun Wooller & Dan Keane
The latest infection figures appeared to spike more than in previous days - but this could be due to a BACKLOG in testing over the Easter weekend.

Updated 17 Apr: Daily Mail: Germany declares Covid-19 is ‘under control’ with each virus carrier infecting less than one other person on average - but new cases rise by highest for six days
•Despite optimism, new cases rose by 3,868 - the largest increase for six days
•299 people also died from the illness, the country’s second-highest daily total
By Chris Pleasance
Experts warn that the time lag between infection and death means a country’s death figures may continue to worsen even once the number of cases slows down.
In addition, many countries have had inflated figures at the start of the week because of a weekend BACKLOG, a problem which may have been exacerbated by the long Easter weekend...

Ok, that’s weird. Are you in the DC area?
Not even close.
The Wastelands of western MD.
To be honest, I would totally love one of them for my own use.
It was SO black it’s like it was absorbing light.
:D
Washington DC has the highest percentage of Aids/HIV infection cases in the US. The compromised health will cause a lot of sickness. Glad to see in Maryland.
A nurse working at the local hospital said 70% of her COVID patients are black.
Where are you located?
This explains all the ammo purchases made by government agencies under Obama.
Potentially cripple the government?
We could only be that lucky.
I believe her. Sadly I believe this thing is ravaging lower socio-economic groups.
This fell right in the rats lap, they will milk it and make every attempt to kill the economy. Trump checkmated the governors this week. He knew the laws and who has authority over states but America needed to hear it from the arrogant whiner cuomo of NY on national tv “the president doesn’t have the authority to open the states the governors do” CHECKMATE! not trumps fault if you decide to extend your opening, you will have to deal with your people now who want to go back to work. Responsibility is a bitch isnt it. Arrogant whining sniveling little despot criminals being brought into the light for all to see
