Celebrating Thanksgiving by entering someone’s home and spreading a lethal infectious disease is a little too darkly ironic anyway.
Take the opportunity to think about what you love most about the day. Focus on how to re-create that, and even build on it. Maybe learn to cook one of the dishes that someone else usually brings to dinner. Think of the people you actually look forward to seeing, and call them. Think of the people you don’t look forward to seeing, and don’t call them. Appreciate that you can’t get cornered by some annoying second cousin; you save money on travel; you don’t have to pretend to care about football.
Maybe most important, this year is an opportunity to bond over the moral certainty of the moment. At its core, Thanksgiving is a nebulous day of atoning for the sins of colonialism by eating food and saying thank you. Now families and friends and communities can work together to achieve something meaningful and good: ending the pandemic. All you’re asked to do is eat food at home.
Whatever you do, take heart that this radically different pandemic lifestyle doesn’t have to last too much longer. By next Thanksgiving, if the news of an effective vaccine proves as fortuitous as it sounds, we can go back to whatever traditions draw people to this day. This is a onetime deal. Next year will be an opportunity to be thankful for the elements of the holiday that we tend to take for granted. It will be like a Super Thanksgiving. Or maybe this new way of doing it will work so well, you’ll never want to go back.

FU.
Cancel The Atlantic.
What is this crapola?
He should have joined Governor Newsome at his illegal $ 400 a plate dinner with 12 people at The French Laundry. Lockdowns are for the little people.
Because every morning when I wake up, my first thought is “Would James Hamblin approve of what I’m doing today?“
Little puke has a face that is just begging to be punched.
The hospitals have had half a year to prepare. What the heck is this nut worried about?
The Wuhan Flu is not Ebola. Or anywhere close to it.
James Hamblin (born James Richard Hamblin) is a board-certified physician specializing in public health and preventive medicine. He is a staff writer at The Atlantic, author, and lecturer in public health policy at Yale University.
We’ll have 11 just with our core family members (Elen, USMC, is in Okinawa). I’ve invited a friend, and he said his daughter will be visiting him from college, so we invited her as well. That would be 13. If any of our children’s roommates or boyfriends are at loose ends, they’d be welcome as well.
What a load of crap.
Girly Man so typical!!!
bttt

BS!
This is just the beginning. #Covid21 #GreatReset #Agenda2030
Nov 15
Justin Trudeau calling the coronavirus pandemic an opportunity for a reset as per the WEF, and parroting the ‘build back better’ line which Biden just so happened to use as a campaign slogan.
Must all be a coincidence and not at all coordinated.
“Building back better means giving support to the most vulnerable while maintaining our momentum on reaching the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the [Sustainable Development Goals],” the PM said, referencing the UN's Agenda 2030, another bête noire of conspiracy researchers who believe it represents the blueprint for global totalitarian government.
You queasy-livered pussies will have to pry my drumstick from my cold, dead hands.
The bay sh!t crazy is flying around everywhere.
I’m hosting 10 people, from 4 households. We are in CA so may be able to host it outside, but if not, I have a lot of indoor space and we can open the windows and blast the heater :)
The left loves to attack holidays and traditions and family and hearth and home. This is why CA’s “Spare the Air” no fires in the hearth day ALWAYS happen on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Cancel Government.
The irony is that Liberals are just plain miserable yet they don’t love company.
