    Have people been doing Thanksgiving in some euphoric, cathartic, addictive mode that makes it the centerpiece of their year? I genuinely don’t get how you can know all we know about COVID and even entertain the possibility of doing this holiday. Why is it the exception for folks?

        On this point, though, the sense I'm getting from my more stubborn relatives is they've accepted COVID is ravaging the country and they give up. They would rather risk it to see loved ones and pretend it's not happening. Which is DISTURBING, but people in panic mode do dumb shit.

        It’s not worth scolding or whatever; I mainly blame our horrifically fractured information environment where even smart, committed people get woefully confused about what the proper pandemic allowances are

        For a lot of families it is a special time of year when folks get together. That said, this does have the appearance of another culture war kvetch.

        people are really fatigued. Not an excuse, but an explanation that I think everyone can empathize with.

        So am I, and I’m transferring that fatigue into not further tiring myself out by going into the stress of a potential super spreader event!

        I mean, isn’t this the first holiday for Christian Americans after Easter?

        Especially with a vaccine on the horizon! It baffles me that an often toxic family holiday in the most toxic of political years is the thing that suddenly is worth killing grandma to preserve.

        Probably a lot of overlap between the people who really feel a need to do it up big this year, and the people most responsible for making it so toxic
