Authorities and real estate developers in New York City unveiled their official guidelines for viewing the Rockefeller Christmas Tree this year; limiting guests to just five minutes at the legendary tourist attraction while being separated in isolation “pods.”
“Those who hope to get a glimpse of the tree this year will be required to do so while spaced 6 feet apart and stationed at designated viewing pods. Each pod will hold a maximum of four people,” reports The Hill.

What is this, a joke? This is the Rockefeller Christmas tree for 2020. It depicts @NYCMayor‘s city as it stands today: broken, empty, drained of its life, by failed leadership and incompetence. pic.twitter.com/1S0qyIbmE1
