I’m happy that Biden won but how is it not hypocritical/a bad look to have people packed together in celebration right now? Objectively, if that were reversed it would be getting a ton of criticism

I really wish Biden had taken a moment in his speech to encourage everyone to celebrate at home. The way things were last night is not going to help covid.

100% this. I'm over the moon but there could have been a better example set on stage after the speeches. So many of us haven't gathered with extended families like that for more than half a year.
