Increased travel and Thanksgiving gatherings will likely result in a surge of new coronavirus cases, scientists and public-health experts say. Infectious-disease experts and epidemiologists are urging Americans to take preventative steps now.

Leading infectious-disease experts and epidemiologists are urging Americans to take preventative steps now, especially after gathering or traveling for Thanksgiving, by quarantining at home and getting tested to lessen the potential spread.

The number of travelers recorded by TSA has only surpassed 1 million four other days during the pandemic--once in October, and the rest in November before and after the holiday. The day before Thanksgiving--Wednesday, Nov. 25--saw 1.07 million travelers, the second-highest number recorded during the pandemic, according to the agency’s figures.

Experts worry various factors could compound the virus’s spread. The onset of cooler temperatures and shorter daylight hours, which may prompt Americans to head indoors where the virus is more easily transmittable, add to the risks created by an increase in holiday gatherings and related travel, said Philip J. Landrigan, director of the Global Public Health Program at Boston College.

Funny that these experts didn’t say the same thing about the BLM protests.

^this is what lines at the 7th busiest airport in the US actually looked like today

They’re figuring wearing a mask is good enough and the rest of the guidelines can be ignored! Good luck with that! Plus the ani maskers have to wear masks because it’s required to get on a plane or any form of public transportation! We’ll just watch!

Any TSA test positive?

So many experts continue to provide contradicting information. The reality is not as bad as reported. Stop sensationalism.

better question is will it result in hospitalizations? According to Johns Hopkins Econ Dept, Stats show overall death rate is stable, even though we have Covid,, heart disease, and other normal leading cause of death down for the first time in decade and the decrease = covids +

They should have been selfless instead of selfish and stayed home in their pod over thanksgiving. They have no mercy or compassion for our healthcare heroes.

We didn’t see any articles about increased risk after BLM protests Not did we see any such articles after democrats prematurely celebrated Biden “win”. is this serious balanced reporting?

So what..most cases are just like the flu..Stop these lies now!!!
