[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like the July 4th celebration on the National mall will proceed complete with fireworks and flyovers. Seems like a terrible idea given that so many cities are seeing resurgence in Covid infections and that no one will be required to wear a mask. Protests also planned so potentially a lot of people in close contact.

Description from WaPo here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2020/07/02/fourth-july-washington-includes-fireworks-military-flyovers-protests/

If you’re local (in the DMV) are you planning on attending? Curious if this is an event that will primarily attract out of towners or locals - or both. And does Bowser support this? Realize it may not be in her control but this seems like a bad idea from a public health perspective even if it offers a boost to business (which I recognize as valuable but a resurgence of Covid is also costly economically).

From what I saw of protesters over the past weeks most were pretty conscious of SD and masks. Don’t have as much faith in tourists.
