Dr. Fauci says it's "too soon to tell" whether Americans should avoid gathering for Christmas

[Rhiannon12866]

Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden's chief medical adviser, says that "even if you are vaccinated and you’re in an indoor congregate setting, it just makes sense to wear a mask." Face the Nation 10/03/2021.

1. some of my family is front line

i don’t foresee a gathering indoors.

2. All but my brother live out-of-state and I haven't let the state since before last year's quarantine

And when you go to the doctor or dentist here in New York, that's the first thing they ask you - if you've left the state.

3. Seems pretty obvious to not gather

Of course, if he stated the obvious, the freaks would start screaming.

4. TFG said the pandemic would "be over by Easter" of 2020, and his followers still believe that

And have acted accordingly. That's why there are now more than 700,000 American deaths. And we know now that he knew the truth about the danger of the virus from Bob Woodward's tapes from the previous February.

5. Of course he knew! 🤬

Putin's play book: create havoc, illness & death in the USA. Break the healthcare system, schools & govt.

Nancy said it best: with him, all roads lead to Russia.

6. And Mary Trump said that he wanted to "play it down" in case it affected the economy

American lives meant nothing to him, it was all about the money - and making himself look "successful."

10. Yup

That's all they care about.

11. I recommend her second book, I have it on audio and am listening to it in my car

It's not as personal as her first book, she goes into a lot of U.S. history - and points out that her uncle's policies returned us to a time when prejudice and bigotry were acceptable.

12. Sounds interesting

Thx for rec!

[Rhiannon12866]

13. I think I mentioned that I have both of her books and I recommend them highly

I also have Jimmy Carter's autobiography, also read by the author. I think it means more when they're read by the author - and it keeps me company while I'm driving.

14. You have

Appreciate the recs & I agree about the author recording it.

9. Right, especially with all the hospitals filled to capacity.

If you get sick, there is no place to go.

7. Not too soon for me

Not interested in seeing anyone but the 4 people in my immediate family. Used to have holiday family gatherings but since Covid and Trump that's all in the past now and I'm fine with it.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. I'm the same way, I'll likely just drop something off for my brother

Dinner and gifts when I think of something he can use. Fortunately, my brother doesn't like to go much of anywhere, but I made sure he was fully vaccinated, I drove him myself.

And welcome to DU!
