“Dear PoPville,
I’m scheduled for a COVID-19 antibody test and I am hoping one of your readers might be able to point me to the exact version/brand of test DC uses.
Obviously these tests are all new and reliability varies, as the FDA has detailed here.
And just to preempt some of the types of comments I’ve seen on previous posts about antibody testing: no, folks, I am not getting the test in order to declare myself immune or otherwise to excuse myself from taking precautions like social distancing, wearing my mask, washing my hands, sticking to only essential errands. That would be nuts. And selfish.
I’m getting the test because I’m seven months pregnant and I want to know if my baby was potentially exposed. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Major construction is about to start on the row house next to mine. Since my family and me are all at home right now, I think we’ll need to rent a place to stay for about month to escape the noise. If we’re trying to save money and stay safe from COVID, what are the best options for us?”
Hosted by DC nonprofit Archaeology in the Community, this annual festival gathers archaeologists and other heritage-related professionals from across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region to share the stories, science, and the discoveries that shape our understanding of the past. Taking place as part of DC Archaeology Month in June, the festival offers a full day of engaging experiences designed especially for kids and families.

From the Mayor’s Office:
“The District’s reported data for Tuesday, July 28, 2020 includes 54 new positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, bringing the District’s overall positive case total to 11,999.
The District reported one additional COVID-19 related death.

Tragically, 584 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…)
