As COVID-19 cases continue to soar across the US, many Americans have chosen to stay home for Thanksgiving to help prevent spreading the virus any further.

According to recent polling from Insider and SurveyMonkey, 19% of survey respondents previously had plans to travel for Thanksgiving which have since been canceled. Another nearly 19% of respondents noted that they currently have plans to drive or fly to reach their final holiday destination.

On November 19, the Center for Disease Control recommended Americans stay home for the holiday to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

But while close to one in five people are estimated to have canceled their preexisting travel plans as a precautionary measure, polling shows that 57% of respondents will be celebrating Thanksgiving with at least one additional household.

3. XMAS deaths will skyrocket. We needed it to be 9/10 canceling travel plans.

Had TrumpCo promoted good health policy from the get-go in February, we'd be in far better shape.

Everyone stay safe as possible.
