I’m thinking there shouldn’t be an inauguration (in a traditional sense).  The risk of COVID spread is too high.

Would have to agree.  And I hope the new administration strongly encourages safe and healthy behaviors.

I also agree that we should not have a "traditional" inauguration. Just having a swearing in with minimal attendees will also gloss over the fact Trump undoubtedly will not attend.

I also believe that the celebrations in response to Biden's election are very ill advised. Even if they are "safer than ...<name your activity>", they are not safer than staying home. It seems that  we have a country that believes that if you do the "right thing" 95% of the time, that is enough and you are entitled to do whatever you want the remaining 5% of the time. It doesn't work like that.
