Not likely... It will be like a war-time (austere) inauguration, only this time a result of COVID-19 hlthe2b Nov 2020 #9

I think Biden should set a theme of being pragmatic and getting back to work. The days of smoke and mirrors (or bullshit) are over.

Maybe Joe and Jill, Kamala and Doug will dress to the 9's, and give us an Inaugural Dance, broadcast live, later that evening.

There are lots now, the old ones and new portable ones. It’ll be cold af in some places but people could watch it on big screens from their cars and each place could be part of one giant feed.

It’s in keeping with their theme so far and people all over could be part of it.

He's not obsessed with crowd size but will probably be obsessed with our public health.

Millions of people across the country and the world will be celebrating that day. It would be great to see some of it on zoom. We can't be physically together but we can share the excitement and energy. I will be myself with two adorable kitties but I will be celebrating on Inauguration Day. I will celebrate with family and friends over zoom.
