The inaugural committee for oe Biden has announced that inauguration celebrations will include a virtual parade instead of the traditional march in the Capitol due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement on Facebook, the Biden Inaugural Committee said Sunday that the event on Jan. 20 will include a Pass in Review on the east front of the Capitol, a Presidential Escort to the White House and the “Virtual Parade Across America” that will be televised live and feature “diverse, dynamic performances in communities across the country.”
“The parade will celebrate America’s heroes, highlight Americans from all walks of life in different states and regions and reflect on the diversity, heritage and resilience of the country as we begin a new American era,” the statement said.
Participates will be chosen in the coming weeks to participate in the parade the committee said would continue to honor longstanding inaugural traditions while providing viewers with the image of the president, vice president and their families making their way to the White House for the first time.
Tony Allen, the inaugural committee’s chief executive officer, described the virtual parade as an “exciting opportunity” to showcase the new administration’s commitment to unifying the nation, USA Today reported.
“There are many grand traditions to the inaugural, and we plan to honor them by highlighting more of our nation’s people than ever before while keeping everyone safe,” he said.
The committee said that following the swearing-in ceremony on the west front of the Capitol, Biden, first lady Jill Biden, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff will participate in the Pass in Review on the east front.
“Pass in Reviews are a longstanding military tradition that reflect the peaceful transfer of power to a new commander-in-chief, during which the president-elect will review the readiness of military troops,” the committee said, adding that participants “will be socially distanced” and health and safety protocols will be in place.
There will also be a Presidential Escort from 15th St. to the White House with each branch of the military represented in the event “without attracting large crowds and gatherings,” the committee said.
The announcement came as the United States continues to register tens of thousands of new coronavirus cases a day. According to a live tracker of the virus by Johns Hopkins University, nearly 210,500 people were confirmed infected with the virus in the past 24 hours.
The United States with more than 20 million cases and 350,000 deaths is by far the sickest country in the world to the pandemic.
Last week, Biden’s inaugural committee announced that it would be holding a memorial a day before the inauguration to “honor the lives lost to COVID-19 and renew our commitment to coming together to end the pandemic and rebuild our nation.”
On Jan. 19, the memorial will consist of the first-ever lighting of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in the Capitol, the committee said, encouraging Americans to illuminate buildings and ring church bells in remembrance on that day.

Joe Biden is a virtual criminal, part of the Biden crime family.
HE IS A literal criminal, nothing virtual about it!
Did he get the OK from Harris? Just look at this jackass… I can’t even say “lights are on…and nobody’s home”. I don’t see any lights on. The slime that programing him know only 14 people would show up for the parade anyway.
Forget the virtual and bring on the virtuous ! In Physics. “virtual is defined;
physics
denoting particles or interactions with extremely short lifetimes and (owing to the uncertainty principle) indefinitely great energies, postulated as intermediates in some processes.
Biden’s time in office is destined to be extremely short, and Kamala will be the intermediate that will replace him based on the Democrat Principle of uncertainty of never letting a Crisis go to waste.
Enjoy the party celebration while you can Joe, as you are destined to be replaced by your own party with the uncertain intermediate person you certainly did not see coming. Trying to shed light on anything about this election, Lincoln Memorial reflecting pools or otherwise, will bite you in the end. That reflecting pool is too close to the Vietnam Memorial wall which will shake and crumble in rebellion when your fake patriotic virtual reflected image passes it.
IT shouldn’t even BE, let alone be only virtual…
People will watch on TV, unless there is a “Three Stooges” marathon on
Biden can’t muster a physical crowd and since a great majority of his constituents do not actually exist, it is only fitting.
They could use the Macy’s parade balloons to represent Biden voters.
“…..highlight Americans from all walks of life in different states and regions and reflect on the diversity,….”
I think I’m going to be sick that day.
Macy’s parade balloons could represent Biden’s brain. This man is truly “not with it”… I’m not just saying it to make a point… he’s truly a sick man.
Diversity?? SINCE WHEN HAVE THEY really cared about diversity?!
It is quite fitting that the first virtual President have a virtual parade to kick off a virtual administration manipulated by unseen (patently obvious) hands of special interests including China, global corporations, and unions.
A virtual inauguration parade for Joe Biden is a fitting end to a fraudulent presidential election that has created a virtual disaster for our republic and the integrity of the election process. Biden’s inauguration will be a dark day in our nation’s history. It will serve as confirmation that manipulating election rules and results is an essential strategy that the Democrat party will brazenly employ in order to win. Unless we can manage to restore integrity to our elections, America is facing the sickening prospect of being permanently ruled by a corrupt Democrat party.
I believe that Biden is having a virtual parade not only because he can’t draw more than a handful of people, but more importantly; it allows the uniparty, made up of democrat politicians, republican politicians, judges, bureaucrats, media types, and the ultra wealthy who are our real rulers, to continue to use the Chinese Flu to control the citizenry. I believe that the Chinese flu will be with us indefinitely, masks and all, as long as it’s useful to the Uniparty. I believe that Barry Barack (BHO) with his Organizing for America, not Soros, is behind all of this to continue his presidency. Soros supplies the money. Biden will be BHO’s puppet as Hillary would have been, had not Trump put a monkey wrench into the works. This is why Trump is so despised and why they’ve gone after Trump, tooth and nail from the get go!
AND if the covid ever does go away, you can BET YOUR LAST RED CENT< that china will release something worse.
Fake parade for a fake president.
