“Dear PoPville,
A new effort to connect DC small businesses struggling under COVID-19 with consumers sheltering at home is now live. ShopInPlaceDC.com is currently live and welcomes submissions from D.C.-area small businesses selling products such as food, fitness, bath and cleaning products, books, toys and more.”
Another reader writes:
“It’s a directory of local essential businesses in the DMV still open and how they’re operating. The catch is, entrepreneurs and small businesses are highly encouraged to submit themselves so PoPville would be a great way to spread the word!”

“Tips for Safe Sex
You are your safest sex partner; masturbation is always safe sex.
Wash your hands or any sex toys with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after.
If you live with a partner, check-in first and make sure you are both feeling well before sex.
Be Careful
Kissing can pass COVID-19. Consider not kissing anyone you do not know or who you are not sure has been isolated for 14 days. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
This is a VERY informative video that helped me understand transmission of the virus and why we are wearing masks. The masks are to keep us from touching our faces, not to prevent the droplets from coming in. It is long and slightly tedious but I have seen so many people doing dumb things WHILE wearing masks thinking it makes them immune. I also think this assists with understanding the social distancing requirements. It is about consistent, prolonged contact and the news makes it sound like someone walking by you on the street who isn’t coughing in your face can give it to you. This is an empowering and meaningful video. Take care.”

“I live in Logan and often walk up 14th St with my dog and keep noticing how Pearl Dive Oyster Bar seems to be flouting the social distancing rules. What gives? Seems irresponsible and makes me never want to go there again once we get back to normal. This pic was taken around 4pm today (Sunday). They have music playing, constant crowds of lingering patrons, open bar, etc. Why are they doing this?” (more…)
