There were talks of gathering for Thanksgiving, though it never materialized.I think even the more
foolish people in my family knew deep down it would have been stupid. It could have been a disaster.

Yep, it's the aerosols, not just the heavier droplets. Main reason why I haven't touched a restaurant or bar with a ten-foot pole in months even though they're all open here.

I follow all our rules and every Tuesday finds me bowling and Wednesday playing trivia at the pub. I trust our government's contact tracing and understanding of where it is spreading.

Good for you man, I'm not going inside anywhere til the vaccine drops, behavior down here is not very good.

Do you get carry out?

I usually get delivery, drive-thru at most. Will occasionally go into a place if I absolutely have to but try to choose that very judiciously.

It's easy to trust it at the moment as it allows most of the things I want to be able to do. I can see my kid, go to the gym, bowling alley and out for a drink. During a pandemic that's enough for me. They all have pretty strict protocol but I can deal with that. Max five people at the gym is actually quite nice

It's a good thing Biden won. Seems pretty clear from different statements I've read from people like Pelosi that hysteria theater would have been a big part of 2021 if orange man had won.

Hysteria theater simply switches sides.

Although as it pertains to Covid, I never really understood the arguments that suggest democrats are playing politics with the virus. I’m never happy to defend the party but many democrats have done the unpopular things they needed to do despite the heat they knew they’d take. No response has been perfect but at least here in the northeast, I think they’ve done a fine job so far.

Northeast has done a fine job? Do you mean except NY and NJ or what?

All other states should have figured out some sort of mandatory quarantine for when New Yorkers were fleeing the city. That one event was probably most responsible for spreading this nationwide (West Coast was an unrelated outbreak).
