Thanks to A. for passing on: “Saw this come up and wanted to share for awareness, hopefully not reflective of a wider trend in the city”
From George Washington University:
“This week, our testing program identified a significant increase in positive COVID-19 cases among members of our university community. While these cases are not severe and vaccination continues to provide strong protection, it is critical that we act to limit the further spread of cases.
In addition, according to the CDC, the Omicron variant is spreading more rapidly as compared to other variants.
Effective immediately, all in-person social gatherings and events are cancelled. In addition, exams scheduled for Friday, December 17, and through the end of the semester will be held virtually.
These actions are consistent with our foremost priority of protecting the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff.
Students, faculty, and staff will receive more detailed information soon, but we want to share the below guidance with you now:
Faculty have the option to begin offering virtual exams before Friday.
Eating is restricted to dining areas only.
We understand that this news comes at an already stressful time during finals and other scheduled end-of-semester activities. At this time, we have not made any changes regarding spring semester. We will continue to monitor COVID-19 transmission among our community members and in the region and will update you with more information soon.”

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
