In the orange, 60-80 category. The county directly to our south is red.
We too, are doing nothing. This year, Thanksgiving is just another Thursday.

The smaller the group, the less risk of running into the virus.

Also avoid living in North or South Dakota, where you could come in contact with the virus even in small groups.

Yikes. I guess they all have one person to thank, eh?

It does seem somewhat familiar to the standard cold fronts that come in across the upper mid west...

and have a niece in South West Minnesota that has her Father in a Nursing Facility because of health issues that require 24/7 care. And she is not allowed to interact with him only by Phone due to several Staffers testing positive for covid. The persons who tested positive refused to wear masks when not at work and still interacting with people in her small town.

why not be safe instead of sorry? I don't get 'it' sometimes, some people seem to think that they are being slighted or are having some vague notion of 'freedoms' being taken away w/ the wearing of masks, etc. Since when did the wearing of masks become such a taboo item? No body thought about this when in the 'old days', a cancer patient or such wore a mask...

rump, our PINO really screwed a lot of people over with his nonsense, and more are yet to die still over the next several months...

the situation is not good,but,we will make it . Niece's Father will be 85 new years eve day and does suffer from early onset Dementia which requires Meds and supervision. And yes,yesterday one of the Staff that tested Positive was interacting with local Business's as per the Niece.

Friggin idiot. No mask,I got a right.
