Good morning everyone,
--
-- Thank you Mayor Bowser .... I am sure this decision was not an easy one.
However, we are the Nation's Capital and we should continue to show that we are capable leaders here... leading vs. following. We still do not know how many people have been tested so far ... the numbers only just tell us how many per day we are increasingly being able to administer.
Knowing the actual number tested since testing began this month, our public may be more responsible when it comes to taking this epidemic seriously.
Germany has limited the number to TWO people being allowed to meet and they have the lowest amount of deaths per positive cases in the world. I mentioned in my last email that there is a 6 degree of separation of knowing everyone in the world... and that 10 people being able to congregate is still a large group and is still dangerous. Actually, groups of 10 still being allowed to congregate is still a lot and counter-intuitive to not spreading the flu much less the coronavirus.
Since we still haven't tested many people ..probably less than 2000 people of a population of 700,000 plus residents and workers from out of many states.. which is less than .5% of people...we are still at a major risk because lots of people are probably unknowingly still running around our city as a carrier.
Please take the example of Germany and reduce our gatherings of 10 to much less... One person dying is one too many.
Also, please consider switching the summer break for DCPS and other schools to now and transfer the balance of the spring semester of 2020 to June through middle of August... giving the last 2 weeks of August as "Spring" break and then starting the 2020 Fall school year in the first week of September. This will allow most of the virus to run its course and still allow our kids to have the classroom education which is necessary.
All except the senior class ... you should focus on their online education so that they could continue with their college acceptance trajectory on time.
Thank you for taking charge and leading .........show President Trump what leadership is all about!!!
