This is news no one is thankful for, coronavirus cases continue to surge to new records nationwide. The New York Times reports:

For the first time since the coronavirus outbreak hit the United States, the country has added more than one million cases in each of the past two consecutive weeks. Covid deaths, which lag reported cases by weeks, are also at a level not seen since the spring.

In the past week, the U.S. added an average of 173,000 new daily coronavirus cases. If the pattern holds, the total number of cases reported in November is likely to hit 4.5 million.

That would be more than double the number of any previous month. https://t.co/Sm5Ssmp08O

With many Americans choosing not to follow CDC guidelines and travel over the holiday, there’s concern of a post-Thanksgiving surge. The nations leading infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci is giving one final warning before the holiday:

“To the extent possible, keep the gatherings, the indoor gathers as small as you can. We all know how difficult that is because we this is such a beautiful traditionally holiday, but by making that sacrifice you are going to prevent people from getting infected…. A sacrifice now could save lives and illness and make the future much brighter.”

Watch what else Dr. Fauci said above.
