Doctors warn US will see 'darkest days' after Thanksgiving

Doctors are warning that the US will see the 'darkest days in modern medical history' in the weeks after Thanksgiving as the daily COVID-19 death toll hits the highest since May and hospitalizations continue to surge to record highs.

Millions of Americans took to the skies and the highways in the days leading up to Thanksgiving despite the risk of pouring gasoline on the coronavirus fire as they disregarded increasingly dire warnings to avoid travel and events.

With cases, hospitalizations and deaths already skyrocketing across the US, health officials are warning the worst is yet to come given the true impact of Thanksgiving travel and gatherings won't be seen for a few weeks.

The daily death toll across the country spiked to 2,297 yesterday, which is the highest number of deaths per day since May and the second day in a row where fatalities have surpassed 2,000.

as I could and I kept thinking... I wonder how many of these idiots will be checking into the hospital in 10 days... if there is any room left that is.

Looks like I might be spending Christmas alone as well, but I am worried about my family. Christmas is a much bigger deal for them than T-giving. I especially worry about my dad.

Current numbers are horrifying enough. But most of them are because politicians and people helped spread the disease.Trump's Scotus just ruled that churches and synagogues cannot be forced to practice
safe distancing.
and apparently 48% of the country does not believe in the virus.
I shudder when thinking what the stupidity level will be in 10 years.

Tragically it won’t be just the stupid but they will be the majority.
