In today's news, I read that this doctor who had observed all the safety guidelines had her 2 grown children home for Thanksgiving. They were extremely careful in their own circles. At Thanksgiving, they wore masks at home while preparing food, sat a good distance apart and only take the masks off while eating. Two days later one of her children called and said he tested positive. Neither she or her other children were affected. So the infected child probably had covid but was asymptomatic when he was at Thanksgiving. We can never be too careful. I'll bring Christmas presents to my grandchild but will not stay. He's only 2 and a half and he wears his mask when he's out of the house, never complains. My children and I are having a Zoom Christmas. I only hope it will be a better scenario next year. Have a safe holiday everyone!

@mayofeb2020- Unless your kitchen is huge I have no idea how to cook with someone else other than whoever is living with you. Being inside with people who are not your live in people is very dangerous. My very small community's numbers just bumped up by over 100 cases. Our small local hospital can't handle more.

@mayofeb2020, Like you and yours, my little out-of-state family and I will be celebrating with a Zoom visit.

A married friend with in-town children said "It must be so very difficult for you and your daughter not being together for the holiday." Not nearly as difficult as the thought of having an empty chair at our next holiday gathering, I replied.

If no Zoom available, how about a phone visit with someone on the holiday? If no phone available, how about celebrating the fact that we are taking precautions to stay safe and well?
