More than 1 million Americans are boarding planes despite warnings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to avoid traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday.
On Friday, 1,019,836 passengers flew in the U.S., 1.5 million less than on the same day in 2019, according to daily figures from the Transportation Security Administration. The figure represents the second-highest number of people to travel by air since March. On Oct. 18, 1,031,505 people took to the skies.
Last week, the CDC cautioned against celebrating the upcoming holiday with people outside of the household, stating that the "safest way to celebrate Thanksgiving is to celebrate at home with the people you live with."
The extraordinary surge of a million new cases in the U.S. in the last 10 days has raised concerns that Thanksgiving gatherings could spread the virus further among families and communities, according to the agency.

(9,998 posts)The ENTIRE Country is going to be a Big Fucking OUT OF CONTROL Mess starting in Mid-December until Late January.
The Final Days of the Drumpf Shitocracy are going to have Tens Of Thousands of Deaths. It is going to be beyond belief.
And no, I'm not talking about the Hot Mess we're currently experiencing. As Bill Murray would say, it will be End Of The World type stuff.

(25,855 posts)I know several people who decided to take some kind of vacation last month, saying they just had to get away, they'd been stuck at home for too long. None of them seems to have gotten ill, but I made my opinion clear.
Yeah, we're all tired of this. We all have friends or relatives we haven't seen in far too long. All of us. And some have lost loved ones they couldn't get to see at the end, which I can hardly imagine. Or new grandchildren they can't see and hold.
Don't be selfish.
