6. Not hardly

It was an outdoor event where every person who was there had to take a PCR Covid test prior to attendance. The Inaugural Committee ran the testing and ensured that only those tested attended.

People were masked, there were some exuberant people who forgot to put their mask back on and came in close personal contact but not for more than 15 minutes(clearly the 6 foot rule was broken) per the CDC guidelines

Social distancing was at a maximum. If you look at the platform this year and the past 24 years, you can see the difference in spacing.

After each speaker, the podium was Disinfected.

There are usually about 240,000 people in Capitol grounds, yesterday there were less then 2500 excluding security personnel.

This was not a super spreader event in any way, shape or form. It was conducted under CDC guidelines and with best practices adhered to.

Feel free to tell your friend that he is absolutely incorrect.
