Specifically it was talking about thousands of new cases daily and we should see if there is any assistance we can offer to further worldwide alignment on fighting the Pandemic. Sending supplies, information and coordinating vaccine work to ensure we save as many people as possible. Additionally it was also talking about a celebratory parade held each year in Russia in Red Square and how they are reviewing options to proceed with this important date. I was thinking of options to hold the parade while adhering to social distancing and I have a few ideas. You can setup cameras on each leg of the parade route and steam it live to every household. This way citizens can make snacks and drinks and watch the parade live from their living rooms. For the visually impaired or those who prefer radio you can have a speaker describe the parade and include music and other things to keep them entertained. For the parade itself, I was thinking that perhaps you can limit one person to one vehicle (If Possible), fully sanitize the vehicle while keeping the soldiers in PPE. Then you can setup different video documentaries and clips highlighting the history of the day as well as pre-recorded interviews from the parade participants. You can also setup local crowd funding attempts to be donated to the hospitals and provide information on how they can help support their friends and families via food donations, homemade surgical masks or gowns and even volunteering if they have prior medical training. This way both the citizens and parade participants are kept as safe as possible and you are able to not only continue this tradition but digitize it for future generations. Stay Safe, Stay Sanitized and Stay Supportive, John Ames Birch @johneames2
