More than 1 million COVID-19 cases were reported in the United States over the last 7 days.
✅✅As cases continue to increase rapidly across the United States, the safest way to celebrate Thanksgiving is to celebrate at home with the people you live with.
Gatherings with family and friends who do not live with you can increase the chances of getting or spreading COVID-19 or the flu.
Travel may increase your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19. Postponing travel and staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others this year.
If you are considering traveling for Thanksgiving, here are some important questions to ask yourself and your loved ones beforehand. These questions can help you decide what is best for you and your family.

3 separate posts of the latest CDC guidelines hardly seems warranted. 1 with three different mentions of what can be found on the site for those who are interested would suffice. Sometimes I wonder if you work for the CDC and use this platform as an avenue.

Thank you for all you do, @Mindy D. I know it must be hard sometimes with all the insults that come flying your way like clockwork. Just don't take any of it personally. You are posting very interesting information.

I agree with the pointlessness of this exercise. I also don't understand why the CDC would come out with unequivocal advice to not travel on Thanksgiving and on the same day give travel advice for Thanksgiving. Do they think that people who ignore their advice on not traveling will eagerly follow their tips on making travel safe? They don't seem to understand how their mixed messaging plays.
It's this kind of thing that compromises the CDC's authority. No one who's not doing the right thing now is going to slog through all that text anyway. I am not interested in what the CDC has to say re COVID any longer.

It's quite possible to travel safely. I have done it during the pandemic and will do so again soon. Being incessantly reminded, however, is very off-putting.

@Mindy D, Thank you for all your efforts. There’s always more to learn.

I really get tired of posters trying to shut down others. It's very easy to pass by threads you find uninteresting/repetitive/unnecessary/not to YOUR liking. It's clear by the subject of this one what it is, why open only to try to shut down someone's opinion?
There are a lot of threads here I have no interest in; I pass them by, and don't try to censor others who are following community guidelines.

@Caligurll, Absolutely agree. From pets, fashion, cooking, all sorts of advice, etc., there is something for everyone.
Wonder why anyone would open a thread about a topic they obviously dislike and disagree with? Maybe boredom ?

Many of my co-workers have told me that they intend to gather with family and friends during the holidays because some have eldering relatives who might not make it to the next year. While I understand and empathize, I'm fortunate enough where I can make sure to avoid contact with those who have chosen to put themselves and others at risk and work from home. At this point, everyone will have to weigh their priorities and make decisions accordingly.
