Surti problem-solved her socially-distanced Thanksgiving — involving six households spread out across New Jersey and Philadelphia — by putting together a complicated system of not juston which family's doorstep. All to ensure everyone gets to eat their favorite foods, prepared by friends and family. Unfortunately, spreadsheets are not a solution for Cora Faith Walker, of Ferguson, Mo. Her massive family is spread all over the country. Walker is one of eight adult children; her husband is one of nine. Everyone loves her father-in-law's potato salad but the family cannot congregate this year to enjoy it. So Walker says she resorted to desperate measures.

This! This is the sort of thing smart, creative people who care about the safety of others do. Well done and thank you, Jasmine Surti. Have a good Thanksgiving.

At least they care if other people live or die. Too many selfishness jackasses in this country do not.
