Thanks to Joyce for sending earlier this morning on metro. The sanitizer sticking up out of the pocket is the cherry.
Thanks to Chris for sending the shot above: “Down to one cup of noodles at the Riggs Road Walmart.”
And please be very kind to grocery store employees – they are working so hard these days!
Besides sanitizer, soaps, toilet paper and marinara sauces – what other items have you noticed are getting depleted?
Note: Pending test result numbers are no longer listed.

Going forward, the District will disseminate the number of positive cases, as third-party labs outside of the DC Public Health Laboratory have no obligation to report negative results.”
From Alert DC:
“Mayor Muriel Bowser declared both a state of emergency and a public health emergency, effective immediately. The DC Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) will activate the District’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Joint Information Center (JIC) to provide additional coordination for the District’s COVID-19 response.
Earlier today, DC Health recommended that non-essential mass gatherings, including conferences and conventions, be postponed or canceled through March 31. As a result, the District is pulling permits for two events in March – the Rock and Roll DC Marathon and Half Marathon and 5K and the Scope It Out 5K.
Additionally, DC Public Schools announced that they have moved their teacher Professional Development day from Friday, March 20 to Monday, March 16 to prepare for the possibility of distance learning.”

A few folks have wondered this week: “Do you know what’s up with Olive Bistro in Tenleytown?”
Tenleytown Main Street reports: “Unfortunately, Olive Bistro closed in January.”
Olive Bistro opened in the former Bread & Salt space back in July 2018. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

From 9:30 Club/I.M.P.:
“While we wake up every day looking forward to welcoming fans into our venues, D.C.’s Mayor Bowser has just recommended that gatherings of 1,000 or more people be suspended until March 31. After tonight, to be cautious, we are postponing all I.M.P. events scheduled at the 9:30 Club, Lincoln Theatre and The Anthem, as well as shows 9:30 Club Presents at U Street Music Hall, regardless of the size of the gathering. Shows will begin again April 1. (more…)

The three-month-long project involved replacing the concrete floor with a modern foundation and was executed by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). A new exhibition, Alan Karchmer: The Architects’ Photographer, will open at the same time, along with popular long-term exhibitions like House & Home and PLAY WORK BUILD. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
What are people doing who have nannies or in nanny shares when it comes to childcare if you have been mandated to telework? We follow the OPM closure schedule for inclement weather but are anticipating eventual OPM closure and telework in the nearish future once the government gets their act together. We don’t want to be caught flat footed and we want to give her a clear policy. We are currently leaning towards, as tough as it would be work wise on our end, giving our nanny PTO to minimize her risk/our risk/community spread if/when OPM calls it as the OPM closure guideline is in our contract (though was envisioned for inclement weather, however I think should be applied here). Curious what others are doing if telework becomes mandated? And what other things to mitigate risk for your nanny, family, and the community you are doing in the lead-up?“
