[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.

This is the most stupid even in the middle of a pandemic when DC has almost got things under control!!! IT's like Trump is just itching for a fight. They should block all roads into DC and charge all residents $100 to enter, use it to defray costs of this debarcle. fireworkds only 35 minutes and flyover costing money that could pay for benefits, health insurance that so many desperately need. This man is SICK along with all of his posse![/quote]
