“Dear PoPville,
I am one of the contact tracers on the DC contact trace force. We started a lot of outreach today to possible cases for coronavirus. We also call people who tested positive to do follow up questioning. A lot of people do not answer the phone from an unknown number.”

It is going to be very very hot today. We are also still in the middle of a global pandemic.
1. Please drink lots of water if you are out and about today. Seriously.
2. Please continue to wear your masks as uncomfortable as that may be. Seriously.
3. Keep fighting the good fight, history is on your side.
Heads up that the Reeves Center at 14th and U St, NW is not a polling station. See all the polling stations here: (more…)

Our regular posting schedule will resume when we return from our afternoon constitutional.
I’m anticipating further clarity and details about the 7pm curfew as well an update on coronavirus data.
Please continue sending your questions/tips/photos/etc. to [email protected] or @PoPville on social media. Thank you. And let me say again – the power is on. But I am hearing that Trader Joe’s is closing at 6pm tonight…
“Dear PoPville,
I just wanted to give a heads up to runners in northeast (specifically between 2nd-3rd and K-F) of a man that is verbally harassing/chasing runners. I witnessed a runner being harassed by this man Monday near Ebenezers coffee where he screamed at the man and jolted at him. I myself was harassed by him today near Indigo with him using profane language, etc. My boyfriend found him after I came home terrified and he called the police. The police came and reported that other people had called in this individual today as well but they can’t arrest because no crime was officially committed.”
Thanks to Audrey for sending the warning from outside of Dumbarton Oaks Park (3100 R Street, NW).
Bagels Etc. at 2122 P Street, NW
Now more than ever.
Will with the very important heads up last night:
“As a heads up to anyone in the DuPont area–P Street Bagels is still open and seems like they could use some help. One of the owners said sales way down (as you can imagine). (more…)

From DC Census 2020:
“It’s not too late! You still have time to respond to the 2020 Census, and its never been easier. You can get counted online, over the phone or by mail-all without having to meet someone in person. All you need is your address to respond. Census impacts funding for emergency services, healthcare, housing, education and more. People across DC are keeping their families and communities safe and healthy by staying home, or serving the public by providing essential services. Every household can, and should, self-respond to the census now. Responding to the census yourself — is another way to do your part and help keep your community strong. It’s safe, easy and required by law. Complete the census today by phone 1-844-330-2020 or online at 2020census.gov.”

Thanks to Patrick for sending:
“Tomorrow, May 2nd, the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds will be conducting a 20-minute joint flyover to salute those working on the frontlines of COVID-19.”
From the Blue Angels: “Residents should observe the flyover from the safety of their home-quarantine and should refrain from traveling to see the flyover. Social distancing should be practiced at all times. Stay home and stay safe!”
Looks like it’s 11:45am – 12:05pm.
