Bowser taps Michelle Obama, Jose Andres, Fenty to help with pandemic response
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/bowser-michelle-obama-coronavirus-reopening/2020/04/27/8dfbf906-8889-11ea-9dfd-990f9dcc71fc_story.html
D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) has enlisted high-profile national figures — including Michelle Obama and celebrity chef José Andrés — to aid the city’s coronavirus response, as the number of covid-19 cases in the District, Maryland and Virginia continues to climb.
The former first lady has recorded robocalls and radio ads reminding Washingtonians to stay home to limit the spread of the highly contagious virus and offering information about testing sites. Andrés is chairing the restaurant committee of the ReOpen D.C. Advisory Group, which will recommend when it is safe to reopen businesses, schools and other establishments.
The group will be led by Susan E. Rice, who served as national security adviser under President Barack Obama, and Michael Chertoff, who served as Homeland Security secretary under President George W. Bush.
“We are dealing with a local, a national and a global pandemic,” Bowser said. “We have called on a great mix of people that embody all of those needs and have all of those experiences.”

Just got my call from Michelle Obama with numbers to call for COVID-19 triaging and free testing for those who need it.
Maybe Melania Trump can send out a robocall saying "I really don't care, do you?"
