Yeah, I just saw this and would guess that there's a slim to none chance of it actually happening. If Covid19 is still a major issue in August there's no way the city will be able to keep crowds from trying to watch them in person, and if the outbreak is over by then there's little to no reason to not allow spectators. Either way, it's a completely illogical plan and my only assumption is there are financial repercussions if the fireworks don't go off, otherwise it just makes no sense.
