By Prince Of Petworth


explore data here

Ed. Note: Yesterday there were 13,794 total positives.

From the Mayor’s Office:

“The District’s reported data for Thursday, August 27, 2020 includes 57 new positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, bringing the District’s overall positive case total to 13,851.

The District reported no additional COVID-19 related deaths.

Tragically, 605 District residents have lost their lives due to COVID-19.

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…)

From the Mayor’s Office:

“On Monday, August 24, DC Health released an updated list of high-risk states where the seven-day moving average of daily new COVID-19 cases is 10 or more per 100,000 persons. Mayor Bowser issued Mayor’s Order 2020-081 with requirements for all people traveling into Washington, DC from high-risk states.

Today, DC Health removed Delaware from the list of high-risk states. When DC Health created the most recent list, the posted data indicated that Delaware met the requirements of a high-risk state. Since then, the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services has provided DC Health with updated data. Epidemiologists from the two health agencies reviewed this matter to understand how Delaware’s publicly available data and the Delaware Department’s latest data could allow for this revision.

Dear PoPville

“It’s contributing to the rat problem.”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

What’s up with the tenant in the Barclay Apartment building at 16th and Corcoran St, NW? Someone throws popcorn out, I suppose to feed the birds and squirrels. It’s contributing to the rat problem. I have left messages with the building with no response. #stopthepopcorn It happens regularly. I work evenings and night shifts sometimes and at night it definitely attracts rats. I took this picture a few night ago. (more…)
