“Approximately 2,500 Vaccination Appointments Will Become Available to Residents in Priority Zip Codes on Thursday”

By Prince Of Petworth

From the Mayor’s Office:

“Today, DC Health announced that on Thursday, February 11 at 9:00 a.m., approximately 2,500 vaccination appointments will be made available to DC residents who live in priority zip codes and are 65 years old or older and/or work in a health care setting.

The priority zip codes are focused in Wards 5, 7, and 8 and include: 20422, 20011, 20017, 20018, 20002, 20001, 20019, 20020, 20032, 20593. Priority zip codes include areas of the city where residents are disproportionately affected by COVID-19, including number of cases and mortality rate. Wards 5, 7, and 8 are being prioritized because they have the lowest percentages of residents who are 65 and older who have received at least one dose of the vaccine.

On Friday, February 12 at 9:00 a.m., DC Health will make approximately 2,500 additional appointments available for all District residents who are 65 years of age and older and/or health care workers in DC.

To date, more than 1 in 3 DC seniors have already received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. (more…)

“Food donation advice?” and “Resources for Homeless Population”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

It seems like most food pantries are requesting cash donations, which makes sense. But does anyone have advice on where I can donate a few bags of non-perishable items (pasta, beans, vegetables, etc.)? I’m moving long-distance and clearing out my pantry; I’d hate for it to go to waste with so many in need at the moment.”

and

“Are there some resources for how we can support the homeless population? I’m wondering whether there are ways to support them that don’t require close contact with others. My boyfriend is high risk so we avoid most human contact.”

“Open houses in the pandemic?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Was wondering if others have had to deal with the tricky situation of moving out during the pandemic. My landlord (understandably) wants to show the apartment, but also mentioned wanting to do open houses — seriously?

I’ve also offered to make videos, and I’m not wholly opposed to showing for individuals, but was just curious how others have navigated this situation. (more…)

“I’m used to getting upsold with an oil change, but this was above and beyond!”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Today I went to a national oil change garage for a regular oil change. After I gave them my basic information, they told me the wait would be 2 hours, so I decided to go home and come back another day. 30 minutes later someone at the shop saying that during my oil change (that I didn’t have), they noticed a bunch of problem in my car (giving my car’s make, model, and year) and I was going to need to come back in for a list of repairs that cost over $500.

No one ever looked at my car. No one changed my oil. (more…)
