This is what a coronavirus spread looks like in its preliminary stages ... chairs crammed into the same area together, inches apart, and that's exactly what's in store for the folks who will be celebrating Friday night with Donald Trump.
The site is Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota, where the Governor has proudly proclaimed there will be NO social distancing at tonight's event.

(12,712 posts)I am moving my celebration and observance of independence up to the day of the General Election.
Trump smells like steaming hot tyranny in a loaded diaper and we need another declaration of independence before he shoots it all to Hell.
Plus, having a celebration like that with the current catastrophe of widespread sickness, death, joblessness, homelessness, etc. does not seem appropriate this year to me. It is more like a time of mourning and reflection and regrouping.
