WASHINGTON: "Metro officials say they are considering designating some Metro rail cars as mask-only. During a meeting of WMATA’s Board of Directors Thursday, Bryna Helfer, an alternate board member, mentioned that she’d been working with the Rider Advisory Council and said, “Somebody had suggested, can we have a mask-only car, like a Quiet Car, like on Amtrak. Has that been considered? I’m just curious.”

Theresa Impastato, Metro’s executive vice president and chief safety officer, said the agency was “absolutely looking into it,” but she explained that there were concerns about enforcement “and how that could potentially create conflict.”

At the same time, Impastato said, Metro was reminding staff and riders “that the lack of an enforcement mechanism through the TSA on the mask mandate does not mean that Metro is not advocating for wearing a mask.” Masks are still being provided to riders on Metro rail and buses, she said, “and we will continue to do so indefinitely.”

OHIO: "Last week, two Ohio State University students died of a possible drug overdose and a third was hospitalized. Officials say a powdery white substance was found in their shared apartment, and the university warned students of possible counterfeit Adderall pills laced with fentanyl in circulation. Joe Reder, resident agent with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration office in Cincinnati, says there's been an increase in fentanyl laced pills in this area, too.

"The big thing that we've seen in the last year is the uptick in the trend of illicit pills coming. We're seeing it in two fashions: We're seeing pills coming straight across the border that are fake pills," he said. "One of the other trends that we've seen is the use of emojis to order the pills and to order illegal drugs." Examples of the latter include diamonds for cocaine or meth, a chocolate bar for Xanax, and a football for Oxycodone."
