Local reporting is more important than ever, so here& #39;s 4 great pieces from WaPo on that front over last 48 hours:
This @McCartneyWP looks at how, finally, testing capacity is coming to DMV.
"We& #39;ve made tremendous progress," DC health official says. 1/4 https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-region-will-have-enough-testing-and-tracing-capacity-by-july-to-contain-coronavirus-officials-say/2020/05/24/6f6e59d2-9c5e-11ea-ad09-8da7ec214672_story.html">https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-...

This @JulieZauzmer piece looks at DC& #39;s Ward 4 primary through multiple lenses, as AOC-style challenger goes up against Bowser acolyte. In the CV19 era.
Ward 4 easily has highest infection rate in DC.

And this @mikerosenwald @ianshapira looks at impact of closing pools in DC & surrounding region.
It& #39;s important to any region in summers.
I wish they could use a Jersey Shore beach-tag system that opened pools, but limited numbers each day.

Finally, technically not local, but @JoeHeim finds Jersey has better grip on beaches than others in Mid-Atlantic.
Stick around for kicker about @springsteen fortune teller& #39;s granddaughter working Asbury Park& #39;s boardwalk.
"A new normal," she hopes.
