Still Planning Your Big Thanksgiving Dinner? Please Rethink
Covid-19 is a runaway locomotive
Thanksgiving is a BIG wonderful time of year. All the family gathers around a big table. It’s loaded with roast turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, sweet potatoes or mashed, a green bean casserole, brussel sprouts, loaves of fresh baked bread, pumpkin and apple pies (try both.) Typically, a mom and dad host this culinary hubbub. Crowded in elbow-to-elbow are kids, grandparents, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, boyfriends, and girlfriends. Under the table, a dog or maybe the neighbor’s cat. Good food, good feelings, good spirits.
Sorry folks, time to get real. Call off your big Thanksgiving dinner — do it today.
The latest Covid-19 projection model from the University of Washington predicts that Covid deaths in the United States will reach the tragic—and astounding—total of 438,941 deaths by March 1, 2021. Asked for an on-air comment, Dr. Anthony Fauci agreed with the projected number.
The number is accelerating. America now owns a (terrible) world record with a total of eleven million Covid-19 cases. And this disease is not “turning the corner.” Our national case total jumped by one million last week. Think about that. One million new cases. In seven days.
