Usually as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, we’re hit with many articles from media outlets about “how to discuss politics with your Trump-supporting uncle” or similar takes.
The CDC is trying to make that problem go completely away by simply recommending not hosting family for Thanksgiving, or at least getting together virtually. Why? COVID-19, of course:

Republican Rep. Andy Biggs kicks things off:
Americans, and not health bureaucrats, will make their own choices about Thanksgiving plans. https://t.co/3jjzGpnDPn

Do you get the feeling some government officials are getting a little too used to enjoying the feeling of control? In any case, their recommendation isn’t going over very well:
How about No https://t.co/suKibxWYVG

Dear CBS News and CDC, you may not like your family to share the holidays with but the rest of the world does. If you say it is safe to go protest because of the cause then it is great to celebrate with your family. Because that is my cause.

I recommend the CDC virtually go F itself.
Since the CDC released the latest survival rates I think people should enjoy Thanksgiving with their families.
AGE SURVIVAL RATE
0-19 99.997%
20-49 99.98%
50-69 99.5%
70+ 94.6%— Intractable (AntiCommunist)- Wartime Consigliere (@CLee1111) September 28, 2020
CDC has zero credibility.

So that sounds like a “no” for a whole lot of people.
