From the DC Department of Health Sunday 5:09am:
“As DC Health conducts its review of the presumptive positives of COVID-19 and consults with the CDC, it has determined an individual’s visitation to Christ Church Georgetown warrants precautionary measures. Out of an abundance of caution, DC Health is recommending a temporarily pause of services at Christ Church Georgetown. We are currently conducting an intensive investigation to identify any exposures to COVID-19 that may have occurred at the church. DC Health will reach out to potentially impacted congregants and visitors as we continue to gather to more information to ensure the health and safety of the public.”
From Christ Church Georgetown:
“Christ Church, Georgetown, is a historic and vibrant community of faith in the heart of the nation’s capital. For 200 years, the people of Christ Church have sought to be a body through which the light of Christ is seen and his work is done.”
From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, the DC Department of Health (DC Health) announced the District’s first presumptive positive case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The person has no prior history of travel outside the United States. DC Health is coordinating closely with the health team where this person is currently being treated and all infection control protocols are being followed. While this is first case in the District, there is still no widespread community transmission and the general level of risk for residents is low. (more…)

Ah the cloud car, not the corn car, though this cloud has gone from black to white. When the cloud was black “It was part of a campaign by enviro groups to get automakers to drop efforts to roll back clean car standards”.

“Dear PoPville,
I’m considering starting a small side business with no intention of quitting my current job. So I’d like to ask the people of PoPville: Do you have a side hustle?
To clarify, I mean side hustle as: a source of income you created on your own in addition to your full-time job. If you do, is it just a version of what you do in your professional career? Is it a hobby/craft you turned into a side-business? Do you plan to keep it on the side or turn it into a full-time job? Is your motivation money or gaining more experience? What makes it worth it for you? I’d love to hear your experiences!”
