How wonderful. They got us through all this. Kudos to them.

A ticker-tape parade will come to the Canyon of Heroes on July 7 to honor New York’s frontline workers who kept the city going during the COVID-19 pandemic, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday.

“The first true large parade in New York City will be one to celebrate the heroes of the fight against COVID,” said de Blasio at his June 14 press briefing. “The people who kept us alive, the people who kept this city going no matter what — we are going to hold a parade to honor them, to thank them, to celebrate them.”

The Hometown Heroes Parade will have floats along Broadway in Lower Manhattan for different groups, including healthcare workers, first responders, and other essential workers, such as grocery and bodega workers, educators, municipal workers, transportation workers, and delivery people.

If they exclude the NYPD from this it will be the last straw

While I share your sentiment, the last straw was a while ago for me.

They want us to socially distance for the rest of our lives, but physical distancing is not politically useful anymore

Social distancing is bs. Example: riots.

covid doesn't spread during peaceful protests, neither does it spread at $500/plate restaurants in California wine country
