Minor Insanities
The Biden-Harris administration (yes, it’s official now. The Democrats are beginning the transition to a Harris Presidency) is shutting down the southwest end of the National Mall around the Tidal Basin during two-week peak cherry blossom time.
Why you might ask? It is being done so that the public will not walk around in the sunshine and fresh air to view the annual spectacle. Apparently cherry blossoms are a particularly nasty spreader of the COVID-19 virus (sarc).
The Jefferson, MLK and FDR memorials will also be closed to keep the public away from the nasty cherry blossoms.
