Biden's inaugural committee tells Americans to stay home for his swearing-in

Source: Politico

President-elect Joe Biden’s inaugural committee on Tuesday advised Americans against traveling to attend his swearing-in ceremony and related activities next month, instead rolling out initial public health protocols for the quadrennial event and previewing a “reimagined” parade.

The committee said in a news release that it was working “in close coordination” with the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies “to ensure that the inauguration … honors and resembles sacred American traditions while keeping Americans safe and preventing the spread of COVID-19.”

The committee also revealed that Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris plan to take their oaths of office on Jan. 20 at the Capitol — the traditional site for the swearing-in — and that Biden will deliver an inaugural address.

“The ceremony’s footprint will be extremely limited, and the parade that follows will be reimagined,” the committee said, adding that it was “urging the public to refrain from any travel and participate in the inaugural activities from home.”

inaguration! He wouldn't give up the glory of his adoring fans. Who cares about the damn virus!

It's so very gratifying to hear an honest & caring President speak, AND not have to pay any attention to TWITTER anymore!

Maybe even have an appearance back on the spot where they took the oath. It could be a one year anniversary celebrating both the inauguration AND (Hopefully) a semi-return to normalcy. No doubt it would still be a 'masked' gathering, but that's ok.

Maybe have a contingent of health care and other critical workers who got us through this, marching with them.
