Presidential inaugurations can be challenging in even the best conditions. Taking place in late January, the weather in DC is often numbingly cold. Large crowds of people clamoring to get near a stage isn't always fun. And this year, with a surge of Covid-19 cases, requirements for testing, and possible quarantines, will people even come? Judging by hotel bookings, the answer is a resounding "yes." Several of DC's signature hotels have already reached capacity for January 20, and many of those that do still have vacancies are increasing their rates and enforcing minimum-stay periods. Rooms are sold out at the St. Regis and all four Ritz Carltons; the nearest Hyatt with availability is outside of the city limits. And it's not just luxury hotels seeing spikes in interest. Every Holiday Inn in DC is sold out for Inauguration Day, with the closest rooms still available being in Alexandria, Virginia's Old Town. Weighing the costs For excited Biden supporters, the financial impact became apparent immediately. Shelby Durkin and her friends decided to book flights "within the hour Wolf Blitzer projected Biden to win." As three recent college graduates, they were looking for affordable lodging options, Durkin said. At first, she explained, they found a promising Airbnb that was $ 63 per night. "But we didn't book right away, and a couple hours later, it was $ 1,400. Most hotels were either sold out or between $ 700- $ 1,500, which is just not practical." Despite these costs, Durkin and her friends are determined to attend Inauguration Day. "To see Kamala Harris sworn in as the first woman Vice President was something we felt we couldn't miss," she said. When she is sworn in, Kamala Harris will become America's first female, first Black and first South Asian vice president. The historic nature of the ceremony similarly motivated Tatjana Wacenske and her family. "My daughter will see someone who looks just like her take such a monumental stride for not just Black women, but for all women," Wacenske said. "We decided to attend this historical inauguration because we finally feel capable of inhaling." Inauguration in a pandemic While a presidential inauguration is always a busy time for DC hotels, the coronavirus pandemic has further limited availability. To protect patrons, many hotels are not booking to capacity, making rooms even more scarce, and therefore, expensive. Jennifer Sorlie, the director of marketing for the po[CENSORED]r Riggs Hotel in downtown DC, explained that the hotel is waiting to see what the event will look like before they finalize their Inauguration week prices. They are currently not accepting any reservations for January 20, and the rooms for nearby dates will be non-refundable. Despite the excitement over the event, many in DC are worried about the influx of visitors for Biden's inauguration. Pressed on whether she had concerns about large groups of people traveling to the District in January, especially now that 42 states are on DC's high-risk list, Mayor Muriel Bowser would only say that she has been involved with early planning phases with the federal government for the ceremony, as she's previously noted. Washington, DC has reported 649 new Covid-19 cases in the past week, as of November 11, with a 2.28% testing positivity rate. The District has logged more than 18,000 confirmed cases since the start of the pandemic, according to Johns Hopkins University tracking figures. A historic day Despite the elevated costs and the challenges of traveling during a pandemic, many Americans are still excitedly planning their visits. For Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian at Rice University, the influx of travelers is not surprising. "Attendance is a bragging right. You can tell friends and family that you participated in a genuine historic moment for the ages." Another presidential historian, Tim Naftali of New York University, reached a similar conclusion. "As President Trump's stubborn denial of the results of this election continues, many will look to the ritual on January 20, 2021 as confirmation of the transfer of power. We have never needed that confirmation in this way before," he told CNN. That sentiment has clearly motivated those headed to DC. Eddy Sarosy told CNN that he and his friends booked a hotel room a few days before the election was called, and plan to road trip to the event from New York. Sarosy said the expensive rooms were worth it because "this is a big moment in our country's history and it only feels right to attend." Another motivating factor for Sarosy? "I'm going to make sure the crowd is bigger than the last time around." Correction: An earlier version of this story stated The Hay- Adams Hotel was sold out. The hotel still has availability during the inauguration.

If that is for the obvious, then they will say that there is no evidence that they never said that and so, for the same as now, why did you remove the other quote?you just left hitler quote now You did not answer any of my questions or will you keep waiting for others to answer for you ? so why do you have access to in the sections then? / If you have access and you see that no one closes the topics why not? If you have more responsibilities and you can't handle them all, leave some

It is not my request, I do not think it is good to ask us questions here, if you want to continue talking you have me on ts3 XD/ btw I will answer you this and if you want to talk we continue in ts. I think I understand your saying this, because if I had a group of friends and they made me a mod request or I gave them a rank in ts and someone questioned me, I would surely act like you did with me. I think you have to change that, don't you think? Its not the idea that; I bring my friends to the ts and I give rank for them all just by activity and loyalty, or train them to have mod rank on the forum. its look like seen that we give each other support and do not leave others the opportunity to grow, don't you think? or if you say it for my questions, I don't see anything wrong. In request I am not partial to anyone, I am only serious, as I think everyone knows, I hardly speak with you or others, to avoid problems... I will not come to comment; He is a good person, he is a worker (because he is active) he deserves a chance, years ago it was more difficult to be a mod, I don't think being active is enough. I know that you are all friends, and the truth is that is good, coz we are a community. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So... Loenex contacted me by ts3, coz whyI ask him that his activity was like this in DM and GoG, I only saw his activity in 2 projects and his activity was not as "high" as he says, then he told me that; he was absent 2 days, and then that last week he did "30" battles, so, where is the 30 battles?

Hello, First of all, we all have flaws, no one is perfect... in a week on GoG proyect you only do 6 battles... I don't see that as a "high" activity / About Devil's Memoir proyect... the same ... 8 post in one week. you know you can post something every day. About Journals and VGR idk, Leaders of those proyects can opine about ur activity there... Continuing with the proyects theme... what ideas have you given to improve them? I dont want you to say that; it is fine as they are, because you can always add something. Coz for me, it is not enough to have activity and only for that reason to be mod, why? because anyone can do activity and it is nothing out of the ordinary, the idea is that you be different from them and implement things, dont expect to have a high rank/or wait for a meeting to give ideas. On Journals, you have access to close the topics after 24 hours, but I have seen that days go by and they are still open and I close them, I have also seen that you close them long before the 24 hours are up, why does this happen? I have taken screenshot on this, in case you want proof I wait your answers soon.

Brazil's health regulator has suspended trials of a Chinese-developed Covid-19 vaccine following a "serious adverse event" involving a volunteer recipient, according to sources cited by CNN's affiliate, CNN Brasil. Chinese drugmaker Sinovac Biotech began Phase 3 trials of its CoronaVac in collaboration with the Brazilian Butantan Institute in Sao Paulo in late July, with an aim to recruit 130,000 volunteers. Phase 3 trials represent the final and most important testing stage before regulatory approval is sought. The pause in testing marks a potential setback for one of China's leading vaccine candidates and comes as US drugmaker Pfizer said Monday that early data from its own coronavirus vaccine showed more than 90% effectiveness. According to a note from Brazil's National Health Surveillance Agency, an incident reported on October 29 led to a decision to suspend the trial in order to better evaluate the data and assess the risk. "With the study interrupted, no new volunteers can be vaccinated," read the note published by CNN Brasil late Monday. The note did not elaborate on the specific nature of the serious event or where it took place, citing privacy concerns. The Butantan Institute said it would hold a press conference Tuesday morning local time, according to CNN Brazil. In a statement posted online Tuesday, Sinovac said it was "confident in the safety of the vaccine," without giving a reason for the reported suspension. "We have communicated with our Brazilian partner, the Butantan Institute, and the head of the institute believes the incident has nothing to do with the vaccine. Sinovac will continue to communicate with the Brazilian side on this matter. Work related to our clinical research in Brazil will continue to be carried out in strict accordance with GCP (Good Clinical Practice) requirements, "the statement said. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman read the company's statement to reporters when asked to comment on the development at the ministry's daily press briefing Tuesday. Pausing a clinical trial is not unusual. In September, drug giant AstraZeneca paused global trials of its coronavirus vaccine because of an unexplained illness in one of the volunteers. Last month, Sao Paulo Governor Joao Doria had called CoronaVac "the safest, the one with the best and most promising rates" among all the vaccines tested in Brazil, after Butantan Institute said that the vaccine had proved to be safe in a trial involving 9,000 volunteers, according to Reuters. Sinovac is also conducting Phase 3 trials in Indonesia and Turkey. Sinovac did not immediately responded to CNN's request for further comment. Just last month, Chinese officials and vaccine developers declared that no serious side effects had been observed or reported in the clinical trials of any of China's rapidly produced vaccines. China currently has four coronavirus vaccines in Phase 3 clinical trials, mostly conducted in developing countries across the world. An official with China's Ministry of Technology said at a press conference on October 20 that a total of 60,000 participants had been injected with the four Chinese vaccines in Phase 3 trials - and no serious adverse effects had been reported. Sinovac General Manager Gao Qiang said at the same event that while some mild adverse effects had been detected in its Phase 3 trials, no serious reactions had been reported in Brazil, Indonesia or Turkey. He said its collaborators in the three countries had established a "thorough detection system for adverse effects." Vaccines, like any medicine, may cause side effects, but most are usually minor and short-lived, such as pain, rashes, headaches or fever. It is unclear if Brazil's suspension of the Sinovac trials will have any impact on the company's ongoing trials in Indonesia and Turkey. Last week, Indonesia said it planned to vaccinate 9 million people with Sinovac's CoronaVac in the third week of December, under an Emergency Use Authorization approval from the country's drug regulator. CNN has reached out to Indonesian and Turkish health authorities for comment in light of the decision to pause testing in Brazil. In China, drug makers have been administering experimental vaccines on tens of thousands of people since July under a government-approved emergency uses program, which allows vaccine candidates to be used on a limited scale before their safety and efficacy have been fully proven by clinical trials. . The move is controversial as some experts worry that fast-tracking the normal approval process could potentially expose participants to unknown side effects, and Chinese drug makers are taking risks that contravene international ethical and safety norms.
