White House Thanksgiving proclamation calls for Americans to 'gather' even as Covid-19 surges

Source: CNN

President Donald Trump's annual Thanksgiving proclamation calls for Americans to "gather" for the holiday, even though federal public health officials have explicitly warned against it.

The final line of the proclamation, issued by the White House press secretary's office Wednesday evening, reads: "I encourage all Americans to gather, in homes and places of worship, to offer a prayer of thanks to God for our many blessings."

Public health experts are warning that Thanksgiving could be "the mother of all superspreader events." And the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends against traveling for Thanksgiving as a means to preventing further spread of the coronavirus.

Coronavirus cases are surging, and public health officials warn that family gatherings like Thanksgiving, which are often indoors and multi-generational, could put vulnerable people at risk.

Then any Federal crimes will go to Court.... his favorite area to showboat...

All will be an effort to distract from Biden Presidency.

We know this. His kiss ass Republican punks know this. The world knows this. Ignorant lemmings are too dense to know it but we won’t change them, ever.
So we must really use all our strength of character and hold on for the next two months. And not forget. Or forgive.
Do all we can to protect our loved ones, our citizens, our country and ourselves to get through this, then bring the legal hammer down as hard as possible on this wretch of a human stain and his treasonous, hateful thug administration and Party.

And never forget.

At least based on local media reports, the train/plane traffic is down significantly although obviously many are just driving to their destinations... But I think a good-sized majority are keeping it real by keeping it small or by doing little or nothing at all.

This country has 330 million people so there will still be a very significant spread but hopefully not to the degree it could be if nothing was done at all.

They will never take this serious. I'm to the point that they can avoid the vaccines, and facemasks. we'll just watch them drop by the 1000s. You can't fix GOP stupid.
