Due to covid, nobody is dying from the flu, so covid saves lives.How will you feel if your grandmother passes away of old age over the winter, you didn't visit her for thanksgiven or christmas?Biden supporters going out by the thousands, couldn't get sick? Or maybe the protesters by the thousands, that's okay? But 10 family members getting together will kill thousands? Go fuck yourself, there will be about 20 at mine. With no social distancing or masks.Survey: 38% Of Americans Planning A Big Thanksgiving Despite COVID-19
"Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, 38 percent are planning a holiday dinner with 10 or more people — and 27 percent don’t plan on practicing social distancing during their celebration, according to the national survey by the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
The survey also found that 33 percent percent of respondents said they aren’t likely to ask their guests to wear masks, and 20 percent would not turn away guests who have virus symptoms."
Some Americans still refuse to be 'assimilated' or surrender their freedom...
Some will get sick as a result
Some will die.
Some will pass covid along to a loved one and have to live with the fact that they may have killed their loved one...
All in the name of "freedom"?
I certainly don't think it's okay. And I don't think 10 family members will kill thousands.
How will you feel if you infect your grandmother?
She likely has something else-------cold, flu, allergies are still more likely than Covid.She is dead and my 75 year old mom would rather spend time with me instead of living lonely and alone.Biden supporters going out by the thousands, couldn't get sick?

I'm 71 and live alone. I spent my Thanksgiving with a high risk friend who survived cancer less than a year ago. We bought a 5 course fabulous take out feast from our favourite family restaurant, which fed us both for two days, and had a fun filled dinner for two.
None of our children held big Thanksgiving dinners either. Just low key events with people we live with. We were already seeing casing start to rise, with kids going back to school.
I have a teacher friend who is completely freaking out at the moment. On Friday, he learned that one of the families at their school - one with 3 children in different classrooms, have been sent home for testing, after it was revealed that their mother was seriously ill with covid-like symptoms. This was revealed when one of the kids fell asleep in class and said he was kept up all night by his mother's coughing. Seems she has a whole array of covid symptoms and they all live in Canada's "hot zone" - Brampton. This one family might end up closing their entire school, since these kids have been coming to school the whole time she's been sick.
She has fever, night chills, general weakness, and loss of taste and smell, as well as a persistent cough, and she's an "essential worker" who cannot work from home - one who takes public transit to work. If I was teaching her kids, I'd be freaking out too, considering she's been sick for more than a week and the kids have been coming to school the whole time.
