“Dear PoPville,
Loud explosions in Brightwood Park?
I am bewildered by the large bangs that I’ve been hearing over the last few (many? 2020 is a blur) months, here in Brightwood Park. At first, I assumed this was part of DC’s fireworks “season” but now I am not so sure. The explosions are so loud they rattle the entire house and they happen at all hours of the day.

“Dear PoPville,
I lost my wallet in NoMA a few weeks ago. I looked all over my house, I retraced my steps, I even checked all the businesses near where I lost it. With no luck, I gave up and started the process of replacing my cards and ID. But today USPS delivered it to me! I guess someone found it on the ground and stuck it in a mailbox. It’s a nice reminder that, even with all the craziness in the world, people are still capable of small acts of kindness.”

The community spread chart is subject to fluctuation because the data is based on symptom onset date. As national demand for testing increases and results take longer to come back in DC and across the country, DC Health has identified a need to increase the reporting lag time by four days to reduce volatility in the data. The most recent data reflects an increase in community spread. To ensure this graph accurately reflects the most recent data, the community spread count is being paused as these adjustments are made.” (more…)
