1. Low Risk: Thanksgiving with members if your household and/or a virtual Thanksgiving with the family. If you wish to share food for a virtual Thanksgiving, you can do a contact-less drop off at their doorstep if they are in driving distance but if there's any temptation to see the person and chat, both parties have to wear masks and stay 6 feet apart during this transaction and it goes from low risk to low to medium risk.

2. Medium Risk: Just having Thanksgiving with one other household with distanced tables (at least 10 feet apart from the other household) outdoors and everyone wearing a mask when they are NOT at those distant tables.

3. High Risk: Indoor large family Thanksgiving meals without any distancing or masks.


4. LOWEST RISK: If Trump wins, mass protesting the election results on the streets with thousands of strangers screaming shoulder to shoulder without a mask because Covid is so woke it knows not to spread during any protest for a left wing cause.

I am very sad thinking of all those seniors who might be facing the last Thanksgiving (and/or Christmas) of their lives all alone because so many people live in fear.

Or individuals and families can decide for themselves what is best and not have unelected public health bodies impose their non-laws on the people.

In the past I did Thanksgiving and Christmas at Waffle House by myself because I literally have no one. This year, I won't even be able to do that. Places aren't opening back up to people around here. It'll be like my birthday. I'll be staring at the walls and waiting for the boring day to end.

I've been wondering for some time if they would "take" Thanksgiving and Christmas. More and more information is coming out considering the lying going on about COVID 19 and the attempt by the liberals to "milk" it forever. People are waking up. People are taking back "normal".

They managed to mess with Halloween. Some places aren’t allowing trick or treating which by all means should be considered low risk since it’s outdoors.

I don’t think most people will tolerate them taking away Thanksgiving or Christmas. One of the things that makes those holidays high risk according to the CDC is drinking alcohol. Try to tell adults they can’t have a beer or a glass of wine with their dinner and they will revolt.

I don’t know what we’re doing this year but that decision won’t be based on anything the CDC says.

There is no risk unless someone at the gathering actually has it.

No one is stopping families from having a super spreader Thanksgiving, your choice. I heard a rumor that people can be responsible but so far we had plenty of examples to the opposite. This should be a good test of where we go in the next few months.
