FROM ME:

DC Mayor Bowser opened a makeshift hospital at the Washington Convention Center about 2 weeks ago (which, by most accounts, cost $50 million) and I've yet to read if there's one patient there. Now Bowser says that DC is "on track" to open by 6/8 or sooner. No word on the WCC hospitalizations.

ARTICLE:

Mayor Muriel Bowser confirmed D.C. was on the way to achieving a number of milestones necessary for her to reconsider re-opening the city.

WASHINGTON, DC — Based on information released by the D.C. Department of Health, the District is on track toward re-opening from the mandated stay-at-home order issued by Mayor Muriel Bowser

Last week, Bowser extended her stay-at-home order through June 8, but on Monday she noted that D.C. Health was reporting eight days of a sustained decrease in community spread of COVID-19, the illness associated with the new coronavirus. Bowser had previously given a 14-day decrease in community spread as one of the milestones the city needed to reach before she would reconsider re-opening the District. On Tuesday morning, D.C. Health reported a nine-day decrease in community spread.

Bowser said during a press briefing Monday morning that the transmission rate in the city had remained under one for more than a period of three days, another criteria she would take into account when deciding if the District should re-open.

Does Pelosi still have the House out, or just with a “virtual” quorum??

Local rumor has it, the claimed ‘patients’ at McCormick Place were paid Wu-flu reenactors.
