Thanksgiving Is Looking Like a National Coronavirus Super-Spreader Event

The New York Post reported today on a new national survey by the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center which found that 38% of Americans are planning a holiday dinner with 10 or more people — and 27% don’t plan on practicing social distancing during their celebration. “The survey also found that 33% of respondents said they aren’t likely to ask their guests to wear masks, and 20% would not turn away guests who have virus symptoms,” the New York Post reported. “The majority of respondents said they would only break bread and slice turkey with people in their household, and nearly three-quarters plan on practicing social distance.”

Canada celebrated its Thanksgiving on Oct. 12, and daily cases have doubled since then, despite the fact that testing actually fell during this period.
