WASHINGTON Mayor Muriel Bowser is threatening residents of Washington, DC, with 90 days in jail and a $5,000 fine if they leave their homes during the coronavirus outbreak.
The threat of jail is alarming residents and civil libertarians who point out that at least five inmates tested positive for COVID-19 in the citys 1,700-inmate jail near Capitol Hill.
Our message remains the same: stay home, Bowser, a Democrat, said in a statement Monday. The stay-home order has exceptions for grocery shopping and work deemed essential. Outdoor recreation such as running is allowed, but cannot involve people outside of a household.
The order is similar to dictates in neighboring Maryland and Virginia, but shocked residents of Washington, where there are just 401 of the nations 160,000 confirmed cases.

Commie power trip.
I wonder what this authoritarian bitch would think of me casting boolits just outside my garage.
Democrats releasing criminals from jail in order to make room for the rest of us.
But people can run and go to the store and walk their dogs.. But people can’t walk alone? Makes no sense.. Unenforceable.
Does that apply to Nancy Pelosi?
Hey after they empty their prisons of real criminals, how’re they gonna fill ‘em up again?
What is she going to do when her homies defy this order? Or is she only going to enforce this in upper Northwest?
Day by day, we are watching the dissolution of the “Union” before our very eyes. Not by revolution. Not by civil war. Not by anarchy.
Politicians are taking unto themselves powers they were never meant to have and taking away our freedoms. When will the fourth box be opened? Or will it remain forever sealed, an archeological curiosity?
Won’t be enforced in a certain area of D.C., the area where very bad things happen all the time.
Fourth box of what? Ammo?
And when the looting and riots start, whatcha gonna do then bitch?
He doesn’t have big enough jails
So is this the ‘Spend some time with a former mayor in jail” day ?
The nazi mayor will do it selectively just to f-up your life. To the wdc nitwit voters who voted for this confused, inept trash...Hahaha.
Whats the protocol for the Seniors kegger this year?
Put this little guy on a leash and go for a walk.
Why do you need to go for a walk? Open a window and do some yoga in the privacy of your own safe home.
Hahaha.. I saw a news segment where people were dragging around stuffed animals on a leash.
Only enforced in upper northwest. Will.not be enforced in bad areas such as Anacostia.
