Must be irresponsible behavior by leadership and citizens
First thing to notice is that New York has entered the fray here. I guess the Covid bug doesn't quite understand that New York "did it right" and that Cuomo is an "Emmy Award Winning" Covid fighting Governor! Otherwise, the virus would have paid respect where respect was due and attacked somewhere else.
That being said, many of the "experts" were already blaming "Thanksgiving" even before "Thanksgiving" came. But the truth is that a week is not enough time for "Thanksgiving" to have accounted for any deaths yet. Maybe a surge in cases, but nobody has died eight days later from catching Covid at a Thanksgiving get together. If these same experts are correct, however, then in another two or three weeks, we will see a real surge that is much higher than what we are seeing today.
My guess is that the numbers will continue to rise fairly evenly until enough people are vaccinated to make a difference. This is what happens during cold and flu season, and Covid-19 (after all) is technically a cold. Why our so called medical experts fail to acknowledge this is something that calls into question motive. Are they really interested in providing us with solid information, or are they trying to "scare" everyone by making this surge feel like it's their own fault in order to push more restrictions (that may or may not be even helping).
In a math equation there are constants and variables. When there is an change in data, the change is caused by the variable (something that changes) rather than a constant (which doesn't change). In the case of the rise of Covid, some are attempting to convince the public that "behavior" is the variable causing it, when in fact our "behavior" at this point is likely closer to a constant. The one "variable" we know 100% is changing is the weather (or the season as it were). It is much more mathematically likely that the current rise in cases is not because of behavior (which has not changed), but because of the weather (where there is a change).
Sorry, but math doesn't lie.

Swamped Hospitals Scramble for Pandemic Help
December 4, 2020 at 6:46 am EST
“U.S. hospitals slammed with COVID-19 patients are trying to lure nurses and doctors out of retirement, recruiting students and new graduates who have yet to earn their licenses and offering eye-popping salaries in a desperate bid to ease staffing shortages,” the AP reports.
“Across the U.S., hospitals are converting cafeterias, waiting rooms, even a parking garage to patient treatment areas. Some states are opening field hospitals. But that does nothing to ease the staffing shortage, especially in rural areas where officials say many people aren’t taking basic precautions against the virus.”

So do they deserve simply to go without hospitalization?
Thanksgiving Travel Barely Decreased Despite Pandemic
9:10 am
“Americans couldn’t resist the urge to gather for Thanksgiving, driving only slightly less than a year ago and largely ignoring the pleas of public health experts, who begged them to forgo holiday travel to help contain the coronavirus pandemic, data from roadways and airports shows,” the AP reports.
“The nation’s unwillingness to tamp down on travel offered a warning in advance of Christmas and New Year’s as virus deaths and hospitalizations hit new highs a week after Thanksgiving. U.S. deaths from the outbreak eclipsed 3,100 on Thursday, obliterating the single-day record set last spring.”
___________
Trump told us we had turned the corner on it and it was going to get better, so those people who believed him and traveled for Thanksgiving and will travel for Christmas -- should they be placed LAST on the list of those admitted to hospitals?
No, we are not like that. But Trump would be if the situation were reversed.
Quote of the Day
December 4, 2020 at 10:34 am EST
“This virus has humbled me as a professional and a person. I did not think this level of failure in a federal response was possible in the United States. We have a lot of work to do.”
— Michelle Odden, Stanford professor of epidemiology, quoted by the New York Times.
Santis Knowingly Misled the Public on the Virus
9:07 am
The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) “suppressed unfavorable facts, dispensed dangerous misinformation, dismissed public health professionals, and promoted the views of scientific dissenters” who supported the governor’s hands off approach on dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.
Red State Budgets Hurt More by Pandemic
8:41 am
“The coronavirus pandemic has inflicted an economic battering on state and local governments, shrinking tax receipts by hundreds of billions of dollars. Now devastating budget cuts loom, threatening to cripple public services and pare work forces far beyond the 1.3 million jobs lost in eight months,” the New York Times reports.
“Governors, mayors and county executives have pleaded for federal aid before the end of the year. Congressional Republicans have scorned such assistance, with the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, calling it a ‘blue-state bailout.'”
“But it turns out this budget crisis is colorblind. Six of the seven states that are expected to suffer the biggest revenue declines over the next two years are red — states led by Republican governors and won by President Trump this year.”
MEANWHILE
The Winter Mitch McConnell Created
11:05 am
David Brooks:
“If we can’t get a Covid-19 relief package through Congress in the next week or two, we’re sunk. It means we have a legislative branch so ideologically divided it can’t address even our most glaring problems. It means we have representatives so lacking in the willingness and ability to compromise that minimally competent government will be impossible, even under a President Joe Biden.
“The problems a basic relief measure would address couldn’t be more obvious. Under current law, up to 12 million Americans could lose their jobless benefits by year’s end — a wretched Christmastime for millions of families, which could spawn a wave of depression, morbidity, family breakdown and suicide.
“Millions of people could be evicted from their homes. Thousands more businesses may close during the long winter months before a vaccine is widely available. These are not failing, unproductive businesses. These are good, strong businesses that would have provided jobs and opportunity for millions of Americans for decades if they hadn’t been hit by the pandemic.”

Especially to the brilliant mind of Lil Schitty and his disciples of morons here!!!!! BTW......haven't seen cramps posting, wonder if he came out of his trump coma and got help!!!!!!
7 of those 10 are also among the 10 most populous states. That's more significant than what party the governor belongs to.
The virus is pretty much everywhere now, and has been since October. If you want to see where it's really bad (rather than just had), you need to calculate fatalities per capita. Last time I looked (2-3 days ago), the Dakotas were 1 & 2, followed by New Mexico. Iowa, Montana, Wyoming, and Illinois weren't far behind New Mexico.
