It's a Thanksgiving like no other with the Globe's Zoe Greenberg telling a true Thanksgiving story while aiming to reframe Thanksgiving by focusing on the people who lived here long before the Europeans arrived.
That's as families scramble to navigate the risks of Thanksgiving visits to senior living sites despite safety restrictions and a resurgent virus, with six residents at an assisted-living facility in Andover dying in the past month as well as 27 veterans in a COVID-19 outbreak at Illinois VA home (the criminal culling and murder of our beloved elderly continues with zeal!)
The Globe says be sure to call police if neighbors are violating illegal diktats from tin-pot tyrants, and when the fire department shows up tell them to f**k off.
The Globe has broken the compact that has sustained us for so long, so it's a different kind of Thanksgiving even though the Thanksgiving Day parade, unfazed by snow or wind, takes on the pandemic and, according to the New York Times, seems poised to power through a pandemic that has left that city dead and no longer kicking.
The Globe has some last-minute ways you can help food banks and pantries this Thanksgiving because some Massachusetts families don’t have enough food to eat amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and food pantries across the state are struggling to keep up with demand whilst the raging pandemic.

First, go get the fixings:
"It may look more crowded at the supermarket, but stores say they’re still playing it safe" by Andy Rosen Globe Staff, November 24, 2020
Early on in the pandemic, many people went grocery shopping as infrequently as possible, lining up outside stores on a mission to stock up like they were preparing for the apocalypse. Workers, meanwhile, wore protective equipment and ― in some cases — received hazard pay for their bravery.
Nearly nine months into the COVID-19 era, however, a sense of normalcy ― or at least routine ― has returned. Inside supermarkets and big-box stores, some of the more visible signs of the health crisis have receded. Industry observers say some stores have pulled back on physically monitoring their entrances to keep tabs on capacity. Floor arrows still indicate one-way aisles, but fewer shoppers are paying attention, and it’s not always clear whether carts have been sanitized between uses.
It's the "COVID-19 era" now, according to these sick f**ks and pre$$titutes pimping the psychopathic and totalitarian world reset, and there I go picking at what I said I laid out for you.
Now, large stores face a crucial test as the start of the holiday shopping season collides with a dangerous spike in COVID-19 infections.
“I have a sense that some stores have been slacking off,” said Edgar Dworsky, founder and editor of the publication Consumer World, who has been keeping an eye on protocols at stores around the Boston area. “While maybe they were very good at the beginning, now, not so much.”
What you are looking at here is the PLANNED CLOSING of FOOD STORES in order to INDUCE FAMINE, with the Globe pre-programming you for it.
The planned starvation campaign is linked to the coming shut down of the power grid that the WEF monsters have in store for us, so enjoy your last supper today, Americans. It's the final Thanksgiving that will even remotely feel like it should, and I know I AM THANKFUL FOR TODAY in SO MANY WAYS!
Though practices vary widely across chains and locations, companies say they remain in compliance with state public health rules. Stop & Shop says it has been stationing attendants at the front of stores to keep track of who is coming and going, making sure they don’t exceed their state-mandated limit of 50 percent of normal capacity. Roche Bros. Supermarkets said it is taking a similar approach.
Recent visits to various supermarkets around Eastern Massachusetts found entrances at some stores unattended. Others, at busier times, had staff asking people to line up outside to wait for their turn to shop.
Look at the little Stasis out all over the place!
Though the state requires stores to monitor and manage their capacity, there is no rule mandating how they monitor entrances. Some stores use their surveillance systems to keep track of traffic flow, while others have managers walk the aisles to keep an eye on things. Some only move a person to the door when they’re approaching capacity.
Totalitarianism, and the only comparison that I can think of is the SOVIET UNION!
Susan Lumenello, director of public health in Burlington ― home to Burlington Mall and large standalone stores that could easily fill to 50 percent capacity during the holiday season — said that as the pandemic has stretched on, merchants have developed a better understanding of how to manage foot traffic. Lumenello said that the town has received a stream of complaints about crowded stores since the spring, but that retailers have addressed any issues her department has raised.
“In the beginning, they may have counted, and they may have said, ‘Well we’ve never gotten to this capacity, and we don’t expect to get there,’ ” Lumenello said. “Now that we’re getting into the holidays, though, and the stores are getting busier, they may have to get back into that type of counting, and we’ve had those conversations with those stores.”
Around the country, there have been signs of a more relaxed attitude toward public health among both stores and customers.
As the public has come to see how overhyped the fraud is by the pre$$ and alleged authority.
Time to STOP LISTENING TO THEM, period!
Marissa G. Baker, director of the industrial hygiene program at the University of Washington, has been tracking protocols at stores in the Pacific Northwest since April as part of an ongoing research study. She said she has seen stores relent on a several fronts, particularly when it comes to cleaning surfaces.
That's because a CDC recommendation on transmission risk said focus on hands, not surfaces, and that comes from straight from the Wa$hington Compo$t of all people as they say stop wiping down your groceries and mail.
Then again, who cares what the science says when there is so much fear to be fomented with the endless narrative from the pre$$?
That may be due to evolving science on how the virus that causes COVID-19 spreads, Baker said. Scientists now believe that people are much more likely to get sick from droplets spread through the air than from touching a counter or shelf. That means masks, social distancing, and proper air flow are top priorities.
How do you like eating $hit for Thanksgiving?
Baker said some of the most effective measures stores can take would be mostly invisible to customers. Those include upgraded ventilation and filtration, and benefits packages for employees that allow them to stay home when they’re sick while compensating them fairly for the risks they take by being in stores for extended periods.
“If I were a person going to the grocery store, wanting to really ensure that I’m keeping safe, I might want to go at off hours, at a less crowded time if it’s at all possible,” she said. “I don’t see grocery shopping as being more risky than it has been, even as the stores have been a little more crowded.”
Is there any data at all, or is it not a vector like so many other things and that's why the alleged data is being hidden?
That f**ker should be thankful we haven't tarred and feathered him and tossed him in the harbor, and yet he persists like a good political slave.
At Stop & Shop, workers say one of the biggest concerns is customers’ behavior.
You ungrateful a$$holes!
I think I'll take my money elsewhere, "hero!"
Fernando Lemus, president of the United Food Commercial Workers Local 1445, which represents Stop & Shop workers, said long lines for self-checkout are especially problematic, as more people try to avoid having workers handle their food. Customers also tend to ignore the one-way arrows in aisles.
I'm not walking all the way around when I'm at the end of an aisle, so f**k them, and I always got to a register with a human being because that is someone's livelihood and job!
“We know there is the risk of more customers coming into our stores probably walking around with COVID,” Lemus said. “People have somehow kind of relaxed because they feel more comfortable, I guess, that everybody’s wearing a mask.”
And yet the alleged virus is running rampant anyway!
For some customers, the anxiety over shopping has never fully subsided.

The last thing you want to hear on Thanksgiving is some whiner who ruins the whole day!

Alas, the anxiety is always there for the mail carrier or a grocery worker as they suffer isolation during the pandemic as the social distancing strategies of COVID-19 have accelerated the effect of loneliness and left certain populations more susceptible:
"Whether behind the cash register, stocking milk or unloading shipments of toilet paper, grocery store employees have for months been risking their safety to earn a paycheck and make necessities available to Americans, even as the hazard pay that some companies once offered has dwindled and government benefits dry up, but as more workers fall ill, more supermarkets may be forced to close. In New Mexico this month, health officials have ordered 23 stores and restaurants to close for two weeks because of sick workers. Walmart, Albertsons, Target and McDonald’s stores have all been affected. Some have stayed open after being ordered to close, The Albuquerque Journal reported, and in some places, lines are growing. “I think everybody’s a little like, ‘Oh no, we got to go get our groceries. Everything’s going to close down,’” Anna Hagele told the newspaper. She was waiting in line with about 40 other people outside of an Albertsons. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, defended the unpopular closures at a virtual news conference this week. Some shoppers have complained to the local news media about long lines of panicking buyers at the stores that remain open.“You can’t have a grocery store or another big box store that sells groceries if all of their employees — or the vast majority of them — have Covid,” Ms. Lujan Grisham said. “There’s so much of this infection that it’s inside the very places need to access.” The state is ordering shops to close for two weeks if they have four separate instances of an employee testing positive for the virus in a two-week period. At least 14 businesses are under closure orders, including some which will not be allowed to reopen until Dec. 2. A sharp jump in virus cases in New Mexico — the number of average cases reported each day this week is up 127 percent from the week before — has led the state to issue some of the tightest restrictions of any state in recent weeks."
This is all being done under the rubric of a virus that has never been isolated and by faulty and flawed tests that do not specifically detect COVID-19 and which return false positives depending on how many times the ginned-up the revolutionary cycle and amplified the material from non-infectious people. It's a scam, folks, with puppet political tyrants pushing lies and fear.

"Health officials at the state of New Mexico on Friday issued Thanksgiving public health guidance to New Mexicans to ensure residents are able to safely navigate the holiday amid the worsening pandemic. “This is not a normal year,” said Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. “This is not a normal holiday season. I know we all wish it weren’t that way, but it is. Gathering for Thanksgiving this year is an extreme risk to the health and safety of your loved ones and friends. Let me be very clear: A Thanksgiving gathering this year may very well lead to a funeral. The virus is at large. Know the risks and respect them. “I know it’s hard,” the governor said. “I know we’re all so tired. I want to hug my family more than anything in the world. We all do, but please understand it’s not worth the risk. We can replace Thanksgiving dinner. We cannot replace you.” “People are carrying the virus without knowing they have it,” said Human Services Secretary David Scrase, M.D. “I’m worried about asymptomatic transmission. I’m worried about people feeling sick yet leaving the house and traveling anyway. There are places in New Mexico where attending a mass gathering carries a 50/50 chance that someone at that event will have COVID-19. The public health crisis this year has never been more dire. There is no zero-risk scenario for gathering with other people right now – even if you wear your masks, even if you keep your distance. Please don’t risk it. Please stay home this holiday.” “We have to remember: This is not forever,” said Health Secretary-designate Tracie C. Collins, M.D. “We will come together again safely – and soon. If people are worried about hurting anyone’s feelings by telling friends and family they won’t be attending a Thanksgiving meal, they shouldn’t be. Not attending is the best way to show you care. Next year, we will all be honoring family traditions again.”
How many of us will no longer be around as the elites carry out their evil plans?
As for the hypocritical and evil governor, I'm sure she is like Newsom and all the rest so f**k her, and did you know Hawaii is the only state where virus cases aren’t rising even as coronavirus cases are rising again in South Korea and Japan in what they are calling another Pacific wave?
Better hurry on over to the food pantry:
"‘I’ve never seen anything like this kind of need’: Food pantries struggle to keep up with surge in demand" by David Abel Globe Staff, November 24, 2020
They’ve come in heavy rain and waited in long lines in the morning cold, some in tears, sharing stories of desperation, of lost jobs, sick relatives, empty bank accounts, a pervading sense of hopelessness as winter nears.
At the Family Pantry in Harwich, Christine Menard arrived this week to find dozens of people waiting before the pantry opened for free turkeys — something she had never experienced before.
“This is absolutely the worst I’ve ever seen it,” said Menard, executive director of the food pantry on Cape Cod, where recent surveys have found nearly a quarter of the full-time population is food insecure — or lacking, at times, enough to eat — up from 10 percent before the pandemic. “It’s just a very bad situation.”
Demand at food pantries often rises during the holidays, but rarely have so many been without the basic ingredients of a Thanksgiving dinner — or any meal — as this year. With so many unemployed, sick, or otherwise in need as a result of the pandemic, the calls for help have grown so much that food pantries have struggled to keep pace.
“It’s just a terrible time for a lot of people,” said Catherine D’Amato, president of the Greater Boston Food Bank, the largest hunger-relief organization in New England, which provides food to 190 towns and cities in Eastern Massachusetts. “We’re obviously in a crisis.”
As many as one in seven people in the state are considered food insecure, D’Amato said, and with the coronavirus spreading rapidly and unemployment potentially rising again, she and others worry that food insecurity will increase in the coming weeks.
What percentage of hunger is that?
Those fears have already been realized at Neighbors in Need, a food pantry in Lawrence.
“It’s utterly horrific,” said Linda Zimmerman, the group’s executive director. “I’ve never seen anything like this kind of need. It breaks your heart, but it’s getting worse. Every week, there are more people who need help.”
In Revere, where the virus has taken an especially heavy toll, the rise in need has been overwhelming.
They are re$etting.
The number of people seeking food has also been rising in wealthier communities. At Arlington Eats, where about 165 families a week received food assistance before the pandemic, a record 285 families were served over the past week — an increase of nearly 75 percent.
To reduce the dangers of the virus, the groceries are being delivered directly to families’ homes. With the need likely to grow further, Arlington Eats is trying to pace itself, said Andi Doane, executive director.
Have I not said that is the ultimate goal, to keep us in our houses forever with "no need" to go out?

"CDC strongly urges Americans to avoid traveling for Thanksgiving" by Roni Caryn Rabin and Niraj Chokshi New York Times, November 19, 2020
As the United States struggles with surging coronavirus cases and hospitalizations, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday urged Americans not to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday and to consider canceling plans to spend time with relatives who are not part of their households.
The guidance states clearly that “the safest way to celebrate Thanksgiving is to celebrate at home with the people you live with,” and that gathering with friends and even family members who do not live with you increases the chances of becoming infected with COVID-19 or the flu or transmitting the virus.
Officials said they were strengthening their recommendations against travel because of a startling surge in infections in just the past week. As of Wednesday, the seven-day average of new cases across the country had surpassed more than 162,000, and more than 79,000 people were hospitalized.
They throw all these numbers at us with no context hoping we choke on them.
“Amid this critical phase, the CDC is recommending against travel during the Thanksgiving period,” said Dr. Henry Walke, COVID-19 incident manager at the agency. “We’re alarmed,” he added, citing an exponential increase in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. “What we’re concerned about is not only the actual mode of travel — whether it’s an airplane or bus or car — but also the transportation hubs we’re concerned about, as well. When people are in line” to get on a bus or plane, social distancing becomes far more difficult and viral transmission becomes more likely, he said.
What bioweapon have they infected them with, and how do they square that with the a Defense Department study of the risk of catching the coronavirus on a packed commercial flight that concluded that a person would have to be sitting next to an infectious passenger for at least 54 hours to receive a dangerous dose of the virus through the air?
The agency’s overriding concern is that the holidays may accelerate the spread of the virus, CDC officials said. Older family members are at great risk for complications and death should they contract the virus.
Officials made the pleas to avoid travel even as they acknowledged that the prolonged outbreak has taken a toll on families, and that people are craving connection after months of isolation.
College students returning home for the holiday should isolate themselves and limit interactions with friends on campus before their return, and once home, they should try to limit interactions with family members, trying to interact outside rather than indoors and wear masks indoors if a family member has a chronic condition that places them at risk....
Even though there is no data to support student transmission, folks.

I'm told students could become infected during their travels and unwittingly pass the illness to relatives gathered for Thanksgiving.

"What 635 epidemiologists are doing for Thanksgiving" by Claire Cain Miller, Margot Sanger-Katz and Quoctrung Bui New York Times, November 20, 2020
The family of one epidemiologist plans to celebrate Thanksgiving in a garage, with tables 10 feet apart and the doors rolled up. Another epidemiologist’s family is forgoing a traditional meal for an outdoor hot cider toast with neighbors. A third is dining in an outdoor tent, with a heater, humidifier and air purifier running, and, according to an informal survey of 635 epidemiologists by The New York Times, the large majority are not celebrating with people outside their household. Public health experts from a range of backgrounds answered our questionnaire. Not all of them study COVID-19, but all have professional training about how to think about disease spread and risk.
Seventy-nine percent said they were having Thanksgiving dinner with members of their household or not at all. Just 21% said they would be dining with people outside their household — and in most cases, they described going to great lengths to do so in a safe way. Their answers were similar for the other winter holidays, like Christmas and Hanukkah. About 8,000 epidemiologists were invited to participate in our survey, which was circulated by email to the membership of the Society for Epidemiologic Research and to individual scientists.
The holiday season is arriving as the coronavirus spreads with renewed strength across the United States, with cases up 77% and deaths up 52% in the last 14 days. On Thursday, officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged Americans to avoid travel and celebrate the holiday only with members of their household. Epidemiologists are making these same personal decisions, with added expertise.
“As difficult as it is not to be together for such occasions, we respect the virus and know that no system or level of personal protection is perfect,” said Bruce Copley, an epidemiologist who works as a private consultant and is not celebrating with anyone outside his household.
I know who I don't respect -- or trust!
Another epidemiologist, Kendra Sims, a doctoral student at Oregon State University, is eschewing any special Thanksgiving dinner this year. “Nothing tastes as good as safety feels,” she said.
Have a nice plateful of safety then, and don't overeat!
Some have coordinated with family or friends to cook side dishes, then exchange them and return home to dine alone. Some are quarantining, having no contact with others, for two or more weeks before the holiday, and getting multiple tests. Others are inviting only members of their quarantine pods — one said her pod had written “a constitution of allowable activities” to ensure they all followed the same rules. Many are resorting to a Zoom-giving.
They are lifting the 40-minute time limit for Thanksgiving, but you better watch what you say around the dinner table.
“It’s just me, and while I usually have a place to go, this year I intend to stay home and just Skype or Zoom with family and friends instead,” said Bill Strohsnitter, an affiliate associate professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. “I guess that’s why the NFL gave us Turkey Day football.”
OMFG, that makes one want to vomit!
Of course, it will be Turkey Day without football for the high schools even with face masks and by cancelling Thanksgiving a baby bird will be rescued in this holiday season for the ages.
Epidemiologists stressed that their decisions depended on many factors, including the level of virus spread in their area; the degree of isolation of the people they may join; and whether they’re able to have the meal in safer ways, like outdoors.
“We will be celebrating Thanksgiving outside, using portable tables and heaters,” said Erin C. Dunn, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School. “In Maine. Enough said.”
That is when the printed Globe excused itself from the table.

"‘Many families will have someone infected’: Two top health experts raise alarms about Thanksgiving coronavirus spread" by Travis Andersen and John R. Ellement Globe Staff, November 20, 2020
A member of President-elect Joe Biden’s COVID-19 task force and a leading infectious disease expert at Brown University both voiced concerns Friday about the potential for widespread COVID-19 transmission during the Thanksgiving holiday.
Dr. Atul Gawande, a task force member and prominent Brigham and Women’s surgeon and author, told “CBS This Morning” that roughly 1 out of 100 people in the US now carry the virus, and many of them are asymptomatic. So quarantining for 14 days before Thanksgiving, he said, or getting a negative COVID test before the holiday is far from foolproof.
There is no asymptomatic spread, and the tests are the exact opposite. It's false positives galore!
“Many families will have someone infected, and they often don’t know it, that they are capable of passing this coronavirus along,” Gawande told the network. “We need to have that as a strong message coming from the very top across the country.”
Then HOW DEADLY and LETHAL CAN IT BE!?
Oh what a deadly web we weave when we are "public health experts" shoveling $hit.
His words were echoed by Dr. Ashish K. Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, who spoke via Zoom during the Massachusetts Association of Health Plans annual policy speaker series Friday morning.
Jha, who until recently taught at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health and directed the Harvard Global Health Institute, said cases have spiked in the US after “every major holiday,” which is “one of the reasons I’m very worried about both Thanksgiving and the holidays in December.”
That f**king criminal said, and I quote, he's “not sure what we’re doing here,” and has NOT TREATED a SINGLE COVID PATIENT, so he can f**k off.
A negative test result, Jha said, shouldn’t be viewed as a license to travel without concern for spreading the virus.
These guys are unbelievable.
Now a negative test means nothing!
“Let’s say I got infected today,” Jha said. “I would be negative [if tested] for probably two to three days, and so if I went and got tested tomorrow, I would be negative, and then I could say ‘great, I’m in good shape, I’m going to go travel,’ and I could start spreading the virus three, four days from now feeling totally fine. So testing can be an important part of travel, but ... you cannot use it as a way to be reliably comfortable that you’re not going to spread the virus to other people.”
Just stay away from me, okay?
Both experts also called for an orderly transition of power from the Trump administration to the incoming Biden administration, which has been stalled as the president refuses to concede the election result.
Yeah, we all know COVID was PART POLITICAL, part Fourth Industrial Revolution and the p$ychopathic Great Re$et.
Gawande, in his CBS interview, said he agreed with Biden’s recent statement that Trump’s refusal to start the transition will cost lives as the pandemic gathers strength. To highlight his concern, Gawande said the Trump administration once reported it will have 300 million doses of vaccine available by the end of the year, but now is reporting that only 20 million or 30 million doses will be ready.
“Why? Where are the bottlenecks? Where are the shortages? How are they addressing them and what are the gaps the next administration needs to fill?” Gawande told CBS. “That alone means delays that could cost lives and getting ahead of it could save millions of people, [give] millions of people the chance to get the vaccine sooner.”
You can stick that where the sun don't shine, you mon$ter.
Gawande said the Trump administration’s thwarting of the transition is “dangerous,” given that federal and state governments now face the unprecedented task of vaccinating 330 million people in the US.
“There hasn’t been anything like that undertaken,” he told CBS. “You don’t just simply hand that over and think that everything is going to go smoothly. We need planning and coordination … This is not a partisan issue. The virus just doesn’t care.”
Jha, addressing the health insurers’ panel, also expressed concern about the stalled transition.
He said the progress being made on vaccine development is encouraging, adding that the pandemic could be largely under control by June.
“We’ve never done a mass vaccination like this,” Jha said. “This is unprecedented in our country’s history, and you do not want the Biden team showing up on Jan. 20 unprepared, and so we’ve got to push for an effective transition or everything I just laid out lengthens by two months, and that probably adds an extra 50,000 Americans dying if we do not act and get this transition happening.”
Actually, they did it in 1976 with the Swine Flu and the results were not good!
Why is that "health expert" and pre$$ propagandist omitting that fact?

"As coronavirus cases surge nationwide, health experts sound the alarm in Mass." by John Hilliard Globe Staff, November 22, 2020
Public health officials Sunday renewed calls for people to keep their guard up against the coronavirus during the holiday season, as dozens of local municipal leaders were briefed on worrisome projections on the course of the pandemic in Massachusetts.
More f**king wildly inaccurate models to base policy upon?
That briefing was held as the state Department of Public Health confirmed a new milestone for the pandemic, with the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases since the start of the crisis climbing past 200,000 on Sunday.
Somerville Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone, who participated in a video conference call with the health experts, said in a statement that, “the evidence suggests that additional measures may be necessary to control the spread.”
Dr. Philip J. Landrigan, who directs Boston College’s Program for Global Public Health and the Common Good, wasn’t on the video call but said he is worried about the direction of the state’s coronavirus figures, which are trending up.
“There’s the real possibility that if people don’t take great precautions in the next month, we could see a fairly explosive increase,” Landrigan said in an interview. “I’m not saying it will happen, but there is a real risk that it could.”
Yeah, thanks for the telegraph regarding the upcoming script regarding this f**king fraud, you f**king criminal.
The public health professionals from local universities and hospitals, who briefed the mayors and other local leaders Sunday afternoon, warned the state is facing increasing numbers of new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.
Hospitalizations in Massachusetts are also on the rise, according to state data.
Another closely watched metric of the pandemic’s impact on the state — the seven-day average rate of positive tests — was 3 percent as of Saturday, the state reported.
Across the country, nearly 257,000 people have died due to the coronavirus, according to Johns Hopkins University, which also reported more than 12.2 million cases of the disease in the US Sunday.
National health experts have expressed concerns about the course of the pandemic, particularly as the holidays approach.
And everyone really waking up to the fraud given the hypocritical behavior of the elites and their ruling cla$$ puppet politicians.
In Massachusetts, Dr. Abraar Karan, a physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, warned in a series of Twitter posts Sunday against holiday travel.
“Please realize that spending days together at home with family you don’t usually see is a very bad idea,” Karan said.
Landrigan, at Boston College, said the state’s numbers are relatively low, particularly compared to surging cases in the Midwest, but he noted that people in Massachusetts must not let down their guard during the holiday season. People should celebrate the holidays only with members of their households to help limit potential spread and protect others, particularly seniors and those with chronic illnesses.
All this over "potential" spread and "exposure."
FUCK THEM!
Landrigan said he is also concerned with the potential impact on the state’s hospital system with a rise in cases. Earlier in the pandemic, the state was helped by medical workers from other parts of the country, but with cases flaring up across the United States, Massachusetts can’t count on help from elsewhere if cases surge here.
This is the same f**king script we got in the spring, and fool me once..... !!
Governor Charlie Baker and the state health department must be prepared to take further action against the virus if needed, he said, including potentially shutting restaurants and bars if the pandemic worsens in Massachusetts.
Like they did in Hong Kong.
“I think we are getting very close to the point where either, or both, of those may need to be closed down,” Landrigan said.
Kill the rest of small business, you f*cking despiciable piece of communi$t $hit.
During Sunday’s conference call of Massachusetts health and municipal officials, experts pointed to survey data indicating that, aside from increasing mask wearing, people in Massachusetts are becoming more lax in following public health guidance in the months since the pandemic began.
Because they have seen what BS it is!
They warned the mayors and town managers about several signs the pandemic is growing worse in the state. New daily cases are increasing, along with new hospitalizations, while data tracking the presence of the coronavirus in waste water indicated COVID-19 continues to spread.
They are doing more testing, so.... it's all part of the same old shell game and LITERALLY shit!
A Boston Globe reporter was invited to watch a portion of the call, which included seven health experts, along with dozens of local leaders.
Oh, the tool must have felt so privileged and part of the club!
Public health officials on the call said they aren’t sure what the impact of Thanksgiving and Christmas will be on new coronavirus infections, but said they are worried the holidays could lead to more new infections.
Why?
The alleged virus has a 99.998% survival rate under a certain age and many are non-infectious anyway or have herd immunity that will last decades!
They told mayors and municipal officials that they need to serve as reliable messengers for public health information, and encourage people to comply with health guidance.....
Like a Soviet Commissar, right, and how much will the propaganda campaign cost?

"With a week of November left to go, the United States has already had its highest monthly case total yet, reporting more than 3,075,000 new coronavirus cases since Nov. 1., according to a New York Times database. By the time the month is over, the final tally could top four million, more than double the number in October. November’s case total is already larger — by nearly half a million — than the case totals of the first six months of this year combined. The month’s cases are nearly 2.9 million more than March’s total, when many Americans entered lockdown, and 2.1 million more than in April. Testing was severely limited in the early days of the U.S. outbreak, and deaths — even those not reported as linked to Covid-19 — were far above normal, so the true caseload is believed to have been far higher. The United States is now averaging more than 170,000 new cases per day for the first time, according to the Times database. Saturday was the 16th consecutive day with an average of more than 100,000 new cases per day. So far, more than 12.2 million cases have been reported in the United States. More than 256,000 people have died. Here is a look back at monthly case numbers....."

"New York City sheriffs broke up a party of about 80 people at a sex club in Queens early on Sunday and another illegal gather of about 120 revelers at a club in Manhattan — the latest crackdown as officials try to rein in behavior that could fuel the second wave of the coronavirus. Seven people and one business face a range of charges in connection with the parties, including a failure to protect health and safety in violation of the city’s health code, the authorities said. The sites of the two gatherings lacked liquor licenses and other certifications, according to the sheriff’s office, and images from the events showed many attendees were failing to wear masks or practice social distancing. The busts underscored the continued challenges of persuading New Yorkers to follow safety guidelines even as a new wave of the virus hits, particularly as the winter months approach and parties move indoors. Over the past four weeks, the sheriff’s office has shut down several large parties and events, ranging from a gathering of close to 170 people at an illicit club in Brooklyn to a Halloween celebration in the Bronx with more than 550 attendees. Sheriff Joseph Fucito said at the start of the month that his office had responded to about one large event every evening since August. Earlier this month, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced that private indoor and outdoor gatherings across the state would be limited to 10 people, but enforcing those rules is likely to be even more difficult as the weather turns colder and as people celebrate the holidays."
Fuck them (pun intended), and this is as crime runs rampant in that hollowed out city and state.

"Thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews gathered to celebrate a wedding inside a cavernous hall in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood earlier this month, dancing and singing with hardly a mask in sight. The wedding was meticulously planned, and so were efforts to conceal it from the authorities, who said that the organizers would be fined $15,000 for violating public health restrictions. The four-hour wedding, held on Nov. 8 by the leaders of the Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, is the latest incident in a long battle between city and state officials and members of the ultra-Orthodox community, who prize autonomy, chafe at government restrictions and have frequently flouted guidelines like mask-wearing and social distancing. In October, state officials announced a series of restrictions in several neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens with large Orthodox Jewish populations after the positive test rate in those areas rose above 4 percent. Representatives for the Satmar community did not respond to a request for comment on Tuesday. Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the fine on Monday night after video of the wedding — and a florid account of the event and the extensive efforts to conceal it appeared in a Hasidic newspaper — drew backlash online. He said additional penalties could be imposed on the organizers. “We know there was a wedding,” the mayor told the local news network NY1. “We know it was too big. I don’t have an exact figure, but whatever it was, it was too big. There appeared to be a real effort to conceal it. Which is absolutely unacceptable.”
All I can say is God bless the Good Jews as I THANK THEM for their efforts on behalf of humanity!
Elsewhere in New York:
"Mayor Bill de Blasio announced an agreement with Verizon to offer internet service to half a million households, prioritizing public housing units and community districts known to lack broadband. Mr. de Blasio said he hoped the new access would offer families an alternative way to connect during the holiday season and support students who were scrambling now that schools are closed indefinitely. The effort to bridge the digital divide was first initiated by the former mayor, Michael Bloomberg, who struck an agreement with Verizon in 2008 to make high-speed Fios internet service available to every household in the city. Nine years later, under the de Blasio administration, the city sued the company for failing to fulfill its obligations."
The schools are CLOSED INDEFINITELY?
GOOD!
"Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, facing a barrage of condemnation after discussing his Thanksgiving dinner arrangements in a radio interview, changed his plans. The governor was accused of hypocrisy after he said on Monday that his 89-year-old mother and two of his daughters would be traveling to Albany to join him; he has been pleading with New Yorkers for days to reconsider family gatherings as cases of the virus spike across the nation."
Time for someone to put him in a hospital.
Coming in for a landing now:
"While passenger volumes at Logan International Airport and other airports across the country remain far lower than last year, Sunday marked the country’s busiest air travel day since mid-March. After months of low traffic, officials at Logan recently announced they were cutting the workforce by about 25 percent. Still, public health experts stress that the biggest risk associated with travel is not the act of traveling itself, but what people do once they arrive — and the possibility that they’re bringing the virus with them. Airplanes, for example, are fairly safe, because they replace air regularly and use high-quality filtration systems, said Joseph Allen, associate professor of exposure assessment science at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Eating a meal in a stuffy dining room with a wide-cast net of family members is a far greater threat. “Airplanes are very effective at moving sick people around the country,” Allen said. “The individual risk on the airplane is lower than other aspects of travel . . . I’m more worried about what’s happening in people’s homes.”At Logan, Melissa Dingle, 21, arrived around 3 p.m. for a flight back home to Canada. She has been living off campus at the University of New Hampshire since July....."
I'm so sick of these a$$holes and their crock of $hit, sorry, and if you don't think they are coming to take away family members, WAKE UP! If there was transmission in families and homes, it would have happened by now and thus the entire "threat" is rendered moot!
They te$t you (cha-ching) as soon as you get off the flight and proof of vaccination will soon be compulsory for travelers around the world.
If nothing else, that should help you rethink the rituals (subliminal $atanism there?) as the C.D.C. is considering shortening its recommended quarantine period in the wake of the Biden coup and the raging virus.
Time to hit the ground running:
"Baker unveils new ad campaign to encourage people to take COVID-19 precautions" by Travis Andersen Globe Staff, November 23, 2020
Governor Charlie Baker on Monday unveiled a new state campaign to encourage people to maintain COVID-19 precautions, so they can return to many of their cherished pre-pandemic pastimes with friends and relatives sooner rather than later.
I'm also sick of them, their terrorist threats, and their false promises endlessly held out in front of us.
F**k off, "governor."
Baker said the multilingual #GetBackMass campaign will run on television and digital platforms and posters will be distributed to stores.
“It’s a reminder that we must continue to fight so we can get back to the things we love to do,” he said at a State House news conference.
Yeah, this guy is pure evil.
He said the TV ads feature real people “talking about the things that they want to get back to. Spending time with friends and family. Going to concerts or getting kids to playdates. COVID has robbed us of those things and so many more.”
COVID didn't rob us of anything, YOU DID with your tyrannical orders and shutdowns!
He noted the campaign follows several public awareness pushes.
Also known as PROPAGANDA!
“We’ve been chasing every outlet we can to get the right message in front of the right people,” Baker said. “This campaign makes clear that we can, in fact, get back to the things we want to do if we wear face coverings, keep our distance, and get tested.”
That's the end goal with them, endless tests and vaccines with mask and distancing to stay forever.
He reiterated that residents should only celebrate Thanksgiving with their immediate households this year, since data show informal indoor gatherings — such as large extended family dinners — have proven to be virus spreaders.
But not the endless SJW protests or Biden celebrations, etc, etc.
All the $port$ and Hollywood are back producing even as you are further closed down, too, did you notice that?
“I don’t think it’s any surprise or any secret to anyone who’s been turning on the TV, reading the papers, listening to the radio, or paying attention to any of the commentary, observations, and news about COVID and Thanksgiving,” Baker said. “Thanksgiving clearly represents a big potential risk for the spread of COVID-19.”
Somebody should serve him up.
If they did, I would take a heaping portion.
He urged residents to think about how their actions on Thanksgiving could affect elderly relatives and neighbors and implored people to keep their visits brief and masks on if they plan to spend time in-person Thursday with aging family members.
“It’s no secret that we’re in the middle of a second surge, and yes, there is clearly hope on the horizon with all the positive news about vaccines,” Baker said, “but I think everybody in the public health space agrees that Thanksgiving and the holiday season generally need to be different than they’ve been in the past, and everybody has a role to play in helping us work our way through it.”
This a$$hole tyrant can stick his guilt trip.
Baker added that the state’s 10-person limit on indoor gatherings remains in effect.
Separately at the briefing, the governor was asked if he feels things will improve for the country once President-elect Joe Biden takes office in January.
“I would start by saying that I don’t think we should be waiting until Jan. 20,” Baker said, citing a stalemate on another federal COVID relief package and other factors. “I think it’s really important for [President Trump] and his team to focus on what’s directly in front of everybody, which is, how are going to continue” to battle the pandemic. “That should be priority number one. Priority number two should be making that transition [from Trump to Biden] work, because that’s an important part ... as well.”
Regarding the #GetBackMass campaign, one early adopter Monday was state Attorney General Maura Healey.
“I know we all have COVID fatigue, but we have the power to protect ourselves and others,” Healey tweeted Monday afternoon. “As we approach the holidays, you, your family, and others are safest when celebrating only with people you live with.”
She continued, “The virus is still spreading in Massachusetts. Stay vigilant. Wear your mask, wash your hands, and social distance from others. Together we can #GetBackMass.”
Time to cancel the workout.

"What does it mean when you have COVID-19, but you don’t know how you contracted it?" by Deanna Pan Globe Staff, November 24, 2020
Imagine this: You’ve been working from home since March. You always wear a mask in public over your mouth and your nose. You’re fastidious about hand-washing. Your social calendar primarily includes trips to the supermarket and Zoom happy hours. You’ve perfected the art of turning down invitations to parties, weddings, and Scrabble nights, until a coronavirus vaccine becomes available, but somehow, somewhere you still got infected with COVID-19. What gives?
Yeah, imagine that?
What gives?
It must be the acid reflux that is making me regurgitate this insulting slop!
Social media is rife with tales from dejected virus sufferers, who claim to have followed all the rules, as laid down by public health experts, and yet they caught the virus anyway. Meanwhile, the source of their infection remains a mystery.
PFFFFFFFFT!
Recently, for example, Arne Duncan, the former secretary of education under President Barack Obama, lamented on Twitter that he and his family caught COVID-19 despite wearing masks, social distancing, avoiding crowds, and keeping people out of their home.
“How did we catch it? I don’t know,” he said.
Taking one for the team, huh?
I don't believe him or any of those puke leaders who become "sick" of COVID, sorry.
They LIE!
Dr. Abraar Karan, an internal medicine physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, has been hearing stories like those from his patients for months.
Reverse contact tracing is even harder when community transmission is so widespread. In Massachusetts, the Department of Public Health has traced thousands of COVID-19 infections to clusters at a variety of settings, including restaurants, schools, nursing homes, and child care facilities, but the vast majority of new clusters — almost 94 percent — identified between Oct. 18 and Nov. 11 occurred in households, accounting for roughly 16,000 new infections during that four-week period.
The contact tracing is really the construction of a 24/7 global surveillance system of which the vaccines and 5G are a huge part, and they want you only celebrating with those in your household where the main vector is now?
Folks, if households were a vector we would have seen it long before now. These lying fuckers are pure evil because they are LAYING the GROUNDWORK to REMOVE FAMILY MEMBERS from the HOME under the cover of COVID!
I hope you are prepared to die when you come, because I am prepared to die defending myself and my family members.
Good luck!
Under the state’s guidelines, a “household” cluster, defined as two or more confirmed cases at the same residence, is not associated with another cluster, meaning contact tracers were unable to learn whether those infections were linked to workplaces, social gatherings, or other activities.
“COVID is just pretty ubiquitous and it can be hard to tell exactly where it is that you picked it up,” said Samuel Scarpino, an assistant professor and head of the Emergent Epidemics Lab at Northeastern University, and as the state’s positivity rate climbs, the probability of coming into contact with someone with the virus increases.
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!
These f**kers are UTTERLY OUTRAGEOUS with their GARBAGE these days!
“In the summer, we were down around 1 percent positivity, and now in some places, we’re up over 10 percent,” Scarpino said. “So just the number of times in which you may find yourselves inside of a building with someone with COVID is so much higher than it was before.”
In Massachusetts, the seven-day average positivity rate, based on each individual tested for COVID-19 and excluding repeat tests, has surged from less than 2 percent in August to 9.7 percent as of Nov. 21. Still, Massachusetts is doing better than most states in COVID-19 incidence. Over the past week, the state has averaged 38.5 new cases per 100,000 residents. By comparison, North Dakota and Wyoming, which lead the nation in infections per capita, have averaged 166.6 and 140.1 new infections, respectively, per 100,000 people.
(Blog author tosses hands up in air and says forget this!!)
“All these things we can see in the data . . . are contributing little by little by little, and that all adds up to a huge amount of risk,” Scarpino said. “There’s just so much COVID out there now — especially compared to where we were in the summer — that anytime you’re in an enclosed space with people outside your household, that’s potentially high risk again.”
Then the LOCKDOWNS, MASKS, and DISTANCE has FAILED!
You can't blame the 15% of recalcitrants for all this, sorry!
I'd say they are making it all up except they are following the Rockefeller/Gates script!
Linger too long in one place, too close to someone else, and your chances of getting sick tick up.
Not in an airplane, though, even if you are sitting right next to them!
It’s also possible, Karan added, that people are contracting the virus in “places that you just don’t normally think about.” He pointed to an unexpected outbreak over the summer at Baystate Medical Center that had been linked to employee break rooms, where staff members had been congregating without wearing masks.
“It’s really hard to rely completely on people telling you where they got infected because they just may not remember,” he said.
Do I even have to comment anymore?
This is LUDICROUS!
Dr. Ali Raja, an emergency medicine physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, has also begun hearing more stories from perplexed patients he’s diagnosed with COVID-19, surprised they got sick when they said they did everything right. Raja worries mask-wearing has given some people a “false sense of security,” leading them to ignore other health precautions, like physical distancing.
“Mask-wearing has really become the most visible part of this and most people I see, they’re wearing masks,” Raja said. “It’s easy to forget that mask wearing alone is not perfect. We still have to maintain distance and wash our hands and use alcohol hand sanitizer.”
He just ADMITTED that MASKS are INEFFECTIVE, even if he didn't say they were harmful!
Dr. Shira Doron, an infectious disease specialist and epidemiologist at Tufts Medical Center, agreed. She invoked the “Swiss cheese” model of infection control: No single approach to protecting oneself from COVID-19 is foolproof and multiple layers of protection are better than one.
“You have all these layers of Swiss cheese; they all have holes in them. None of them is perfect,” Doron said, “but even if the virus slips through the holes in cheese number one, cheese number two, and cheese number three, it’s still caught by cheese number four.”
BUT EVEN IF!
What GREAT REPORTING!
Those “slices of cheese” are proper mask-wearing, social distancing, avoiding crowds, and keeping time spent with people outside of the household to a minimum.
“When you add all of those layers of cheese,” she said, “one of them is going to be solid.”
Yeah, SOMEONE is CUTTING the CHEESE!

"Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. is laying out its next round of plans to overhaul the business, from store updates and technology improvements to a new share repurchase program. After struggling with falling sales and activist pressure a year ago, Bed Bath & Beyond is now trying to regain its footing during a global pandemic that has overhauled how people use their money. Growing portions of consumer budgets are being diverted into the home, instead of travel and entertainment, which helped the retailer post a surprise gain in comparable sales — a key metric for the industry — in its most recent quarter."
And to drink?
"Locked-down shoppers have taken less than a week to snap up all of Naked Wines UK Christmas offers, crashing the retailer’s website in the process. Promotional packs containing items such as bottles of wine and olive oil sold out in about three to four days, according to chief financial officer James Crawford. In a normal year, this would have taken two or three weeks, he said. Such was the demand, the Naked Wines website went down for about 40 minutes on Nov. 12."

"Coca-Cola measured gradual improvement in the third quarter as it focused on emerging leaner from the global pandemic. Revenue fell 9 percent, far better than the 28 percent drop in revenue in the second quarter. Coke has been decimated with the closure of arenas, restaurants, theaters, and other public places where it books about half of its revenue. It has been making up for some of that damage as people buy more beverages, like orange juice, to bring home. In August, the company began offering voluntary buyouts to around 4,000 people, which it hopes will reduce the number of people it eventually lays off. Coke is reducing the number of individual business segments from 17 to nine. Coca-Cola Co. also announced last week that it is retiring several products this year, including Tab, Zico coconut water, Diet Coke Feisty Cherry, and regional offerings like Northern Neck Ginger Ale. The company had announced in July that it was retiring Odwalla juices."

"The robots are preparing Thanksgiving meal boxes; Bedford’s Berkshire Grey lab is working with nonprofits to reduce the labor needed to get food to 4,000 families" by Anissa Gardizy Globe Correspondent, November 19, 2020
Robots at Berkshire Grey’s innovation lab in Bedford have been busy picking up cans of green beans and packets of corn bread mix, placing the items into cardboard boxes as they shuffle down an artificial intelligence-directed assembly line.
This year, the robotics company is using its technology as part of a partnership with two food assistance nonprofits to provide Thanksgiving meals to more than 4,000 families as the pandemic heightens the need for assistance. Already, Berkshire Grey robots have packed tens of thousands of pounds of donated food into boxes.
“The system manages the inventory and knows how many of each [item] has to go in each outbound box,” said Tom Wagner, chief executive of Berkshire Grey, in an interview. “On one pass it might do green beans, on another pass it might do kidney beans, maybe the stuffing...at any given moment it is completing orders and starting new ones.”
Berkshire Grey’s robotics system is typically used by retailers and grocery chains to automate their fulfillment processes.
Working with the Greater Boston Food Bank and City Harvest in New York, the company hopes to lessen the workload for volunteers at food banks, who often assemble donation boxes during the holiday season. Berkshire Grey is calling the initiative “Picking With Purpose.”
“It’s a couple people operating a system versus many people manually sorting the goods,” Wagner said, adding that the robots work at a comparable speed to humans. “The more important thing is that it removes the labor need for the food bank.”
That will be ONE LESS MOUTH TO FEED, cui bono!?!
Catherine D’Amato, chief executive of the Greater Boston Food Bank, said the partnership comes as food insecurity in Massachusetts has increased at a higher rate than in any other state during the health crisis. In a press release, she said the partnership with Berkshire Grey is “a promising innovation and will fill a critical need this holiday season, and beyond.”
I'm sorry, but I didn't hear that because you were talking with your mouth full, say again?
The great blue liberal bastion better than everybody else, blah, blah.
I'm sure you have had your full of that, as have I.
Berkshire Grey first considered using its technology to assemble donation boxes several years ago, but “as a smaller business, we just wouldn’t have been able to support this,” Wagner said. Now, with $265 million in new funding it raised earlier this year, he said he hopes to make the philanthropic effort a regular occurrence, expanding to more cities as it attracts more partners.
In addition to its Bedford headquarters, the company also has a facility in Lexington.

Just wanted to share that with you because a robot that can transport packages and other items for you so that you don't have to will at some point no longer be a convenience but a compulsion.
Time to say Grace for those less fortunate, even though the Red Cross ran out of turkeys, before digging in:
"The French agriculture ministry said on Sunday that 1,000 minks had been slaughtered at a farm south of Paris after some of the animals tested positive, and that minks were being tested at two other farms. France is the second European country, after Denmark, to cull farmed mink because of the virus. Unlike with other infected animals, minks have been shown to be able to transmit the virus to humans. In Denmark, mutations to the virus discovered in minks were also detected in 12 people, raising concerns about the possible spread of a version of the virus that would be less susceptible to vaccines under development. Denmark is the world’s leading producer of minks, which are related to the weasel and raised for their fur. The Danish government’s order earlier this month to kill all 15 million to 17 million minks in the country led to a political crisis. The agriculture minister, who objected to the order, was forced to step down, but public sentiment was with him and support for the government fell sharply. Officials then halted the nationwide slaughter midway, and concentrated instead on minks in the vicinity of the outbreak. French officials said they had seen no sign that the virus had passed from minks to humans in France, but the agriculture ministry said minks at the farm, west of Chartres, had tested positive and posed a threat....."
The ministry said that “as soon as it learned of these results, the ministries concerned immediately ordered the slaughter of the entire population of 1,000 animals on the farm, and the destruction of all products from these animals, in order to protect public health.”
That is the kind of mindset that those who are managing this plannedemic have; their first instinct is a genocidal cull.
Those are the people in charge of tyrannical lockdowns and ob$cene vaccine agendas to protect the health of you and your family even as they kill you!
So when are the French going to get off their asses and start separating head from body like back in the day?
Should have ordered Chinese food instead while passing on the pork fried rice:
"The top official at Tyson Foods’ largest pork plant created a pool for managers to bet on how many workers would get infected during a widespread coronavirus outbreak, lawyers for the estates of four dead workers allege. In recently amended wrongful death lawsuits, plaintiffs’ lawyers allege that Tyson’s Waterloo plant manager Tom Hart “organized a cash buy-in, winner-take-all betting pool for supervisors and managers to wager on how many employees would test positive for COVID-19.” Hart allegedly organized the pool last spring as the virus spread through the Waterloo plant, ultimately infecting more than 1,000 of its 2,800 workers, killing at least six, and sending many others to the hospital. The outbreak eventually tore through the broader Waterloo community."

The U.N. report says Gaza has almost no clean drinking water, suffers from frequent power outages, and people cannot freely travel abroad -- in a preview of what is to come for the rest of us -- while the cluster bombs didn't explode in Indonesia.
The chain-link enclosures were deplored as “cages” during the Trump administration’s crackdown on migrant families and children, but not in 2014 when the Obama administration opened the facility after a record number of Central American families and children began streaming into South Texas.
I'm told the military deployed medical crews to help overwhelmed hospitals in Texas in what is the template going forward into flu season.
The pre$$ is calling Trump's attempt to prevent a stolen election a quixotic and dangerous quest to try to overturn the results, and look who is talking! The greatest purveyors of falsehoods the world has ever seen!
That should make Don, Jr. and Tucker happy.
The New York Times says what started as a Midwestern surge has grown into coast-to-coast disaster.
The virus slows down as protests increase!
Good luck with that as the Germans are the most "woke" of all.
That comes as a Russian vaccine maker reports positive results based on an incomplete trial and after the parliament of Lithuania installed a new prime minister on Tuesday and then swiftly adjourned for a week because of a surge of coronavirus cases in the country.
There is “finally light at the end of the tunnel,” and it's the barreling train of vaccination!
You couldn't even if you wanted:
"Clorox Co. is shipping out its disinfecting wipes as fast as the company can make them. It’s not fast enough. While the bleach maker planned to have inventories replenished at major retailers by this summer, unprecedented demand throughout the pandemic dashed any hope of that. To cope, Clorox has added 10 additional third-party manufacturers and is running its own facilities 24 hours a day. “Nearly one million packages of Clorox wipes are being shipped to stores every day,” Naomi Greer, a company spokeswoman, said via e-mail. “As soon as they’re on shelf, people scoop them up.” Throughout a public health crisis that has led consumers to stock up on canned goods, snack foods, and other household staples, perhaps no item has been as highly sought after as disinfectants. Clorox competitor Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC expects to churn out 35 million cans of Lysol spray a month in North America by the end of the year ― more than triple the amount before the pandemic began. Consumers’ insatiable demand for products to fight COVID-19 has forced big-box retailers like Target Corp. and Walmart Inc. to implement policies to limit the amount of wipes customers can buy per visit. To further curb stockpiling, they’ve halted online sales of the products, instead directing shoppers to purchase them in-store."
And put ourselves at risk?
That's the Wa$hington Compo$t shooting off its mouth.
The New York Times tells me overwhelmed state and local health officials are scaling back contact tracing efforts, or even abandoning them altogether, and if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.
Either that, or it's the Biden effect.
Even when it won't be needed, and at least the weather is a safe subject:
"It’s shaping up to be another warm winter, which could be bad news for natural gas prices. A collection of long-range government and commercial forecasts all point to the southern and eastern United States being warmer than normal through December, January, and February. Northern Europe will likely have milder temperatures too. If the forecast holds, the 2020-2021 season will be the latest in a series of abnormally mild winters across the Northern Hemisphere, and more proof that the climate is changing. December through February of the 2019-2020 season was the world’s second warmest in the 141-year record, according to the US National Centers for Environmental Information, while 2015-2016 was the warmest ever. This will have consequences for the natural gas market. Another mild season will knock out supports for higher prices if demand falls along with the prospect of a deep winter chill. Few winters in recent years have really provided a strong demand to push prices high. Natural gas contracts for March and April are already indicating the market is expecting a bearish winter. Futures prices have already plunged more than 20 percent in November as investors unwind bullish bets. This winter will be the 13th warmest for energy demand going back to 1950, according to Maxar, a commercial forecaster."

In past years, we would finish the day by going out to the local theater for a movie, but given these unruly times:
"AMC, the world’s largest cinema chain, agreed to sell as many as 15 million shares of its stock while warning investors that it may need to file for bankruptcy, leaving its equity worthless. AMC, contending with a liquidity crisis that threatens its ability to remain a going concern, said the equity distribution plan might not be enough. With $417.9 million in cash on hand, the company still needs a material amount of new funding by the end of the year to stay in business, it said in a filing Tuesday. AMC and other movie-theater owners have been trapped in a tough situation since the coronavirus pandemic forced auditoriums to close in the spring. While many locations have reopened, capacity restrictions and audience skittishness have deeply hurt revenue."
The cameras are now rolling (co$ting locked down and shut down taxpayers millions), and the holiday movie showdown has turned into a fight for home audiences in the “new normal [because] the pandemic has jump-started the change” and we are not in Kansas anymore:
