DC has just recorded its first Covid related death in August. The mask mandate has been in place for 12 days. Cases have roughly tripled. Hmmm.

@BarredinDC - I would have loved if DC started here, but given where they are now and the trend of cases I doubt they backtrack at all
Breaking: Philly expected to require businesses check vaccination status or mandate masks indoors (regardless of vax status)
Announcement and start of new restrictions expected Wednesday.

As a reminder, because DC typically hews closely to CDC guidance we likely won’t see vaccine mandates replace mask mandates at biz like gyms/restaurants unless CDC adjusts guidance or Mayor decides on her own over DC Health 1/

4. Other studies have shown that vaccinated people get over infection more quickly - unsurprising since vaccination basically gives your body a massive head start in fighting Covid.
So vaxxed likely infectious for *less long* than unvaxxed.

A key point in the story of the DC mask mandate: city officials aren't willing to lay out *any* metrics for when they'll roll it back.
If it's not intended to bring transmission down to any specific level...what is it for? via @robbysoave

If @CDCgov updated public guidance to be similar to private guidance (I.e. no masking when vax status of all is confirmed), I could see this being implemented for all biz quickly. But right now, @MayorBowser or @_DCHealth would have to do their own public health analysis to do it
JUST IN: D.C. gyms asking @MayorBowser @_DCHealth to allow them to be exempt from mask mandate if they operate for vaccinated only. @fox5dc

Over the last seven days, 24 percent of test results came back positive.
That compares to 27 percent the previous seven days, with about 700 fewer tests

Anthony Rendon on the field minutes after winning the World Series: “I want bourbon!”

Okay the rule book says you need to be in the base path in foul ground for 45 feet before you step back into fair ground at the bag. Here’s what a righty would do in order to be by the rule book. Have you seen a righty run like this because if you had I would like video

By my count the #Nats won two games in a row 32 times this year. What a ride its been and in many ways the most improbable run to where they are right now in franchise history. Win two games in a row with Scherzer and Strasburg...thats it thats all. Enjoy the ride #STAYINTHEFIGHT
