Your Thanksgiving Dinner

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

I already had my Thanksgiving dinner lunch today, it was turkey and beef from Famous Dave's plus corn, Oreo fluff, Hawaiian rolls, and root beer.

EDIT: Oh, forgot to mention that I only ate with people in my household. Normally I'd eat alongside my mom's side of the family, but we didn't do it this year, and not just because of COVID-19.

My family wasn't intending to go today. I'm waiting at home to get tested on Friday because I was around a person who I didn't know got infected with COVID. I am currently quarantining. I haven't showed any symptoms yet which means I haven't gotten infected or the symtoms have started appearing later (I was around the said-infected person on Friday) I'm glad I didn't go out. Makes me feel proud that I didn't unintentionally infect people. I'm proud of my family for staying home.

Also, F#ck you posters who went and gambled with other people's lives.

What a pathetic human being

At least he is a human being.

Sprout's more than just a human being, she has a character arc and wacky quips that get better with every season.

Not really, if Sprouts is going to go around spouting anti-COVID propaganda, then he clearly has no character

You clearly do not have a fine appreciation for the arts, S019.

What is your solution then, watch my relatives die?

I don't freaking care if you celebrate. Just stop trying to make everyone's life as sad as yours is just because you don't get to have fun.

Your bad priorities aside, don't you just want this pandemic to end?

I want kids back in schools, students back at colleges, intercontinental travel reopened, bars back in service, workers back in offices, concerts, in-person sports games, and the rest of it. America being shut down sucks, and that's exactly why I'm covid-cautious.

Personally, I'm not scared of the virus (or really much else), but I just want my life back. That's not going to happen until case counts go down, and case counts won't go down until we quit having big gatherings and being militant mask-wearers. If you get together with 10 people, there's a 1 in 4 chance somebody is infected. That's just probability. The fewer large gatherings we have, the faster America reopens.

That may or may not be true, but I've gone to probably 50-100 large gatherings of between 10 and 500 people since May, and I still don't have antibodies.  Just because someone there has covid does not mean it is remotely likely that you'll get it.  Stop being paranoid and live your life, unless you are high risk.  You can squeeze out a pretty normal life (at least in red states) if you are willing to.

Just because it hasn't happened to you yet doesn't mean it's not possible. Sure, maybe you specifically didn't get infected, but plenty of the hundreds of people you've been with probably did, and just pretending the issue doesn't exist just because you haven't personally caught it yourself (yet) is a really stupid philosophy.
