Should We Still Celebrate 2020 Independence Day during a Pandemic? [CLOSED]

Not even this pandemic is getting in the way of American culture trying to celebrate the upcoming national holiday. The question is up here, but it is truly worth taking such an extreme risk for a brief vacation just to see the fireworks when we should we air-conditioned instead? This question is open temporarily for any Lewd members residing in the U.S.

Every year on here, my best friend was all hyped up for anything that is American-themed especially July 4th, but this time I'm taking special charge due to the ongoing surge in cases everywhere in the States as I speak.

Ahh, that's right... To be honest love, the Fourth really snuck up on me this year. Personally, I'd reckon watching fireworks is fine if people remained in/atop their cars, but I'd imagine that wouldn't be too enjoyable for anyone who isn't a driver or front-passenger, or had a car without a sunroof, or communities that live in forested areas. Then there's the issue of throwing parties, which is apparently something people do? I wasn't really a popular kid growing up, so must've never been invited. ^^"7

That said... I think private celebrations can be pretty low-risk if you take some precautions. First and most crucially, don't invite anyone you haven't been in frequent close contact with for the past few weeks. Family is a given, but this might also include your best friends; but no neighbors, or friends-of-friends. It's also better to keep things outside, and maybe start later to avoid the oppressive heat. That's gonna happen anyway, since y'all wanna launch fireworks and stuff...

If your family has something planned, I really hope you guys have fun. To be honest, I wish I could be there myself! I'd have loved to finally meetcha. ^~^

Did celebrate. Everyone did fireworks with small parties though just families of the home so all went well. Just hope those who invited people out of home were masks

I appreciated what you said, albeit way too late to answer now. So thanks for coming, now I should put this to rest.
