Thanksgiving: The Mother of all Superspreader events

Well I tend to agree that TG could be a super spreader event. When I worked in the Emergency Room the period after TG and before Christmas would show a rapid increase in the flu. It would push the ER and the hospital to a near breaking point each year that lasted till after Christmas and into February. I always blamed it on families getting together and spreading flu to each other and spreading it from one town to the next. This year we limited TG to my wife my son my daughter in law and our two grand children. We normally see them every week anyway because we do childcare for our grand kids. That is down from a family gathering of about 25 people. Instead of gathering with the rest of the family I smoked Turkey for the rest of them and my wife made dressing for them and sent them "take out." And my niece's family usually attend our TG gathering each year. They all came down with COVID this week.

It's good that you recognize annual flu pushes ERs to the breaking point so flu + COVID is going to be worse.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I find it strange that supporters of the racist / vote suppression party call the Democrats "fascists."
Citizen participation is the biggest threat to Republicans.
The party survives on over-representation of white rural states vis a vis elected offices and electoral votes measured against population.
This explains their love of the obsolete Constitution--the mistakes and lack of foresight of the founders benefit them profoundly.

While Euro-Americans / caucasians remain the largest ethnic group in America, the combination of all other ethnicities is starting to outnumber them.
This terrifies white supremacists.

But "American" refers only to a nationality, not to an ethnicity.
The early settlers guaranteed that America would not be an ethically homogeneous society but importing so many African slaves.
Between Native Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latin Americans, there was no way that America ever had any chance of remaining a predominantly white country.
That was yet another thing the beloved founders were unable to envision, the miscalculation that worked against the conservative constitution lovers..

So now, universal suffrage is the engine that destroys the racist's vision of America.
Voter suppression is the last gasp effort to maintain a white America that was never destined to be.
Don't count votes in black Detroit. Don't count votes in any of the major cultural centers. Votes, you see, are the enemy of fascism.

I find it strange that the fascist/criminal suppressors of millions of votes - the ironically named Democrat Party - complain about others doing what they have long since mastered.
 
Hello good friend NiftyNiblick,

My good friend PoliTalker, I should mention here, has the curious tendency to include trumpanzees when he uses the term "people."
If he's doing that here, the term "wakeup call" might not be perfectly applicable.

Hope you had an enjoyable and safe Thanksgiving.

Those individuals are, however you prefer to think of them, counted as citizens according to the Constitution as "whole persons." It makes no reference to political beliefs and absurd misconceptions.
 
We'll see how much of a mother of a super spreader Thanksgiving was in a few weeks.

Keep an eye on the Corona Virus Peak Watch Thread.

Total cases today are 13.2 million.
