COVID has put a wrench in New Year's Eve celebrations globally. According to CNN, the best view of fireworks in most major cities will be from your couch. Many of the global fireworks displays will be replaced with smaller televised or streamed events, as cities take precautions against the spreading the virus. This includes: London: Their iconic fireworks show over the River Thames is canceled. England is under tough stay-at-home restrictions. New York: The ball will drop in Times Square, but the event is closed to the public. Dubai: Will move forward with their NYE celebrations, with 11 places to watch fireworks. Out of towners must be Covid-19-negative to view them. Rio de Janeiro: Fireworks are canceled and they are restricting beach access. Sydney: Their huge fireworks show is cancelled. A smaller display will light up the Sydney Harbour Bridge at midnight.
UPI reports Ohio State University found nearly 40% of US residents plan to attend gatherings of ten or more people this holiday season. Despite concerns over the spread of COVID-19, one-third of respondents said they wouldn't ask attendees at holiday parties with family or friends to wear masks. The data showed that just over 25% indicated that they wouldn't practice social distancing, either. Figures from Johns Hopkins University report nearly 10.5 million people nationally have been sickened by the virus. More than 240,000 have died from it.
