"One of American culture’s most cherished traditions is for a mix of young & old people from different households to sit close together & share food in a poorly ventilated space without masks on for an extended period of time. It’s called Thanksgiving."

2/ I agree w/ the concern in this piece. The holiday season is approaching. We have all had an exhausting year.
The inclination will be for folks to want to travel & spend time with loved ones in close settings indoors.
But the virus doesn't care about how we feel.

3/ We need to maintain precautions through the rest of this year.
W/ a number of vaccines in phase 3, we could be heading into a new chapter of the epidemic soon.
But until then, we have to double down on what we know works- avoiding close indoor contact is essential.

4/ And even when a vaccine is ready, we will still need to keep maintaining all the layers of protections until we burn this epidemic into the ground.
While it likely will remain circulating at low levels indefinitely, we must do what we can to stop large outbreaks.
