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.

(60,010 posts)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.
