Thanksgiving Could Be The ‘Mother Of All Superspreader Events,’ Health Expert Warns
The US could see an explosion of Covid-19 infections in the weeks following Thanksgiving, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a former White House medical team adviser, told CNN Tuesday. “It’s potentially the mother of all superspreader events.” Many health officials believe the Midwest was seeded with Covid-19 last summer from just such an event, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota, Reiner said. “Now imagine that on a massive scale — people leaving from every airport in the United States, and… (baltimore.cbslocal.com) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

Without an inoculated vaccine, this Thanksgiving will turn into a nightmare in about 10-14 days......will it be worth it?
You must acknowledge...saving .001% of society is not worth destroying the economy. Acceptable loss is part of every day life.

oddly, I work in the ED that fills the ICU. Mostly with MVA PTs. NOT ChinaFlu.
Please, volunteer.
I am not in the demographic to even slightly worry. I am in direct contact with ChinaFlu folks everyday. Being as I do not practice geriatric medicine it is not an over bearing issue, other than the media driven panic and hypochondriac.
