Every single one of these is a passenger plane, carrying hundreds of people happily spreading COVID for Thanksgiving.
Think it's bad now? Hold onto your butts. The first-wave-we-never left is about to become a tsunami.

(14,950 posts)are all doing solo household dinners with a zoom call attempt intended.
Same for the other side of the family, a different time zoom call or FaceTime or Google hangout tentatively planned but everyone hunkered down in their own household.
It's so fucking selfish of these people to cry "butt muh familee!!!!!" when the potential consequence in question is dozens to hundreds of people falling ill and several to tens of people dying as a result of one's trip.

(100,054 posts)We are way, way, way, way past the "stopping the spread" phase. The damn virus is everywhere. It is on every street in every city in every state in this country. We can't stop it. If you think we are stopping the spread now, you are kidding yourself.
The best thing we can do now is protect ourselves from getting it. Use every precaution necessary and stay home.

(15,805 posts)Shes in her 80s. Shes getting together with 7 other people for Thanksgiving- and theyre from 4 different households.
If that wasnt bad enough, she convinced some very old guy that was going a very good job at isolating to come out and play cards with them. Its just so utterly frustrating and irresponsible. She told him he couldnt fear life. I just wanted to scream.

This isn't a significant increase from the air travel we have been seeing for a while and it is WAY down from a year ago today.
