Washington D.C. has a 14 day quarantine for non-essential visitors now.  I wonder if reporters are considered essential.

 Not if they're from a "fake news channel".

Here's an interesting site.  Kayak.  I never really knew what their ads were about but, apparently, they are a travel promotion site.  Pretty detailed and some good graphics.  You can see how patchwork everything is.  It's amazing how far the US has fallen in just a few short years.

So, eventually, we'll have the nation-wide shutdown that should have happened 100,000 ago.  But still no plan to reopen in a controlled fashion.  Open-close-open-close...

 The "Someday, like a miracle it will go away", Trump talked about in the beginning is coming true.

Yup, all you have to do is suppress all the testing reports and the numbers plunge....on paper.

Logic.  https://www.texastribune.org/2020/07/29/louie-gohmert-coronavirus/

U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Tyler, has tested positive for the new coronavirus, he said in an interview with East Texas Now where he speculated that he may have caught the virus from wearing his mask....

“I can’t help but wonder ... if I injected the virus into my mask when I was moving,” he said in an interview.

Can't believe the editors let this one out the door.

Just have to followup with one more.  The qualities required to get elected to Congress are way beyond my understanding.  Representing Texas.  Worth a watch.

Here's another informative web site.  Apparently some of the medical community use this one.  Saw one of the Dr. Gupta's mention it.

If you click on a state you get a new page with detailed information.  Still state-based graphics though, instead of locale.  Not sure why this is.  Maybe they just can't break the data out.  Here in Washington the hot spots are around Yakima and Seattle.  Huge areas are okay but they all get lumped in to "Washington".
