Not sure how many people will want to cook for Christmas and New Years especially if they can order out a nice meal for pickup or delivery.

Breaking traditions will not happen at my home. Thanksgiving and Christmas are always family time. New Years is for younger people to celebrate, we're always in bed when midnight rolls around. We had our day and happy not to repeat it.

The virus did not go away after the election, it'S getting worse

More than 184,000 COVID-19 cases reported in U.S. in one day, shattering previous record

The United States set COVID-19 records for a fourth consecutive day, with more than 184,000 cases reported Friday and over 68,000 people hospitalized with the virus. An average of over 1,100 Americans have died per day of the virus over the last week, as officials nationwide announce new measures in response to the surge.

"We're announcing today we are going to re-establish a field hospital with 240 beds," Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker announced at a press conference Friday. His state used field hospitals during the spring virus surge to take care of an overflow of patients.

Dr. Michael Osterholm, a member of President-elect Joe Biden's newly-formed coronavirus advisory board, said the U.S. may reach 200,000 new virus cases per day.

"We are going to see by far the darkest days of this pandemic between now and next spring when vaccine becomes available," he said.

"Do not be at all surprised when we hit 200,000 cases a day."

Not a surprise and right on time.......

[v8vega]

They will not bring out the vaccine until that senile old fool Biden is in.

"Do not be at all surprised when we hit 200,000 cases a day."

And 198,000 of them will have a runny nose or a sore throat

And 1,000-2,000 of them will die. And another 10-20,000 will be hospitalized and some of those will have long term disability.

He seems a good deal more mentally intact than some who post here .

Out of a 200k per day..........which begins to add up on top of the 250+k dead already. Amazing how people just write off 2000 unnecessary deaths per day as something acceptable.

Don’t misunderstand me, I know it’s a thing, but it’s a bit like systemic racism. Does it really exist to the degree that they say it exists?

At least we can all now agree that it wasn't a Democrat hoax. Next step is to make masks and social distancing not be a political statement.

Well I didn’t say that The election isn’t officially over yet

Shut this country down again and you will see a revolt. How big i don't know.

[Neil]

A two week shutdown is probably our only hope of stopping the current surge. Worked in New Zealand and South Korea.

I'm not sure that 2 weeks is long enough. But, maybe if it were 100% it could be.....

[robert.]

Pennsylvania is 245 days into 15 days needed to flatten the curve. You will see flat out anarchy in the streets if they shutdown for 2 weeks or more. even as we climb to almost 5000 new cases a day.
