Oh no! I'm in the DMV as well, and though I'm lucky enough to still be working from home, I'm dreading the day when we have to go back in. I don't have a car, so I'd be taking the Metro as well, and that just seems like a nightmare of a petri dish if there are any significant numbers in the car - which there likely would be, since the service is so slimmed-down at the moment.
I just don't see how any cities reliant on mass transit can go back to "normal" until there's a vaccine. Riding in a crowded bus or train car for 30-90 mins (or more!) just does not sound safe, even with masks. I'm crossing my fingers that the federal govmt is reasonable (on an agency level...) about sending people physically back to work, since that's such a huge portion of the 9-5ish Metro crowd, but who knows.
