“I live in Logan and often walk up 14th St with my dog and keep noticing how Pearl Dive Oyster Bar seems to be flouting the social distancing rules. What gives? Seems irresponsible and makes me never want to go there again once we get back to normal. This pic was taken around 4pm today (Sunday). They have music playing, constant crowds of lingering patrons, open bar, etc. Why are they doing this?” (more…)
Well this is one of the more awesome emails I’ve received lately. And to be clear the thanks go to you awesome people who made this happen:
“I’m Muhtadi one of the physicians in DC, i asked popville on Twitter 10 days ago asking to introduce men to 3d printers in DC. I was trying to get our hospital face shields, many people responded and it worked, we got some and we’re getting more. I attached some photos of the face shields. Thank you popville.”
In addition to thanking the awesome readers who answered this call, allow me to turn this around and thank Muhtadi and all the other Doctors, nurses, technicians and all the support staff working the front line. THANK YOU!!

Ed. Note: If construction continues to be deemed essential, I believe the onus should be on the construction crew management to make sure processes are in place to ensure a scene like this is not repeated.
