Most Americans' Fourth of July celebrations won't include a community fireworks display, a trip to a crowded beach or even a big backyard barbecue this year — or at least that's what many health officials are hoping.

Despite objections from health officials,at the White House that will feature music and fireworks. This year's event is somewhat scaled back – there won't be armored military vehicles on display at the Lincoln Memorial, as happened last year.

The fight against the coronavirus pandemic is even a theme of what the White House calls a"Salute to America." Invited guests include doctors, nurses, and other front-line responders to the COVID-19 crisis, as well as members of the military, law enforcement and their families. Given the recent spikes in COVID-19 cases, the White House said it will provide face masks and hand sanitizer to guests, and encourage social distancing. Some guests will be on the Ellipse just south of the White House.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, who canceled the traditional Fourth of July parade in the nation's capital, said her office informed Trump's Interior Department that the event it is planning violates the health guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.– David JacksonCostco is the largest retailer staying closed on Independence Day, which it traditionally does for other holidays too, including New Year's Day, Easter, Memorial Day and Labor Day.

This year, Trader Joe's is closed, a change from past years when it operated with reduced hours, "to give all of our Crew Members a much needed and well-deserved day of rest," the grocer said on its website.

We should not celebrate 4th of July anyway. It is racist. We need a new American Holiday that represents all people in the US Today.

Are you happy CHINA TODAY?

Yeah, they'll be going to Home Depot instead.

Nope. We are doing it all. Happy Birthday America!!!!

Instead we’re going to block highways and pack together by the hundreds to take down a statue because you absolutely cannot spread Coronavirus at a protest

somebody invited me to a barbecue..now I think they must hate me.

Close open air beaches so people congregate inside in crowded areas. Makes sense.

Wow cool

Instead they will hit the streets in large crowds and protest.
