Amazing.
Apparently, Nancy Pelosi just decided to ignore her own social-distancing rules and just held a mass swearing-in of members on the House floor:

If Congress were a restaurant, they’d lose their license over this:
and live from the House floor, it’s utter chaos. way too many people. no social distancing. masks being removed to speak. yelling. shushing. phones ringing.

These freaking people!
and now that the masses have been sworn in, there is a bottleneck of people racing to leave. barely an attempt to distance. Barely.

Well, this Congress is sure off to a great start:
the press gallery mandated K95s today, and I’m really grateful for the staff and folks doing their best to keep the place safe despite this. https://t.co/p6Ukq27pvS
