My brother’s fam, all nine of them, got together last weekend to celebrate Christmas. The adult children will scatter across three states for additional celebrations in about a week, after which they want to stop by and see me.
I sent them all Zoom invites with a note saying, “Your gift to me is for you to share your good wishes via this link.”

The virus is present in higher numbers than at any time since its introduction. If we enter another exponential increase phase because of holiday travel and get-togethers, it will greatly overload already stressed hospitals. The death rate will go up because of the lack of treatment and Trump Trailers will be everywhere. I would not be surprised to see 5000+ deaths/day by the first week in January. We are buttoning up until the vaccine gets widely distributed and will continue to wear masks for the foreseeable future.

I hope they give you the gift that you desire.
I just don’t understand what people are thinking. I haven’t seen my daughter for almost a year, and for the first time in about 25 years my immediate family of about 30 people living in five states did not spend Thanksgiving together. Though, we did have a wonderful and emotional Zoom Thanksgiving.

I love to visit my family and friends but will not sacrifice the many potential future events for one afternoon now. Simple math.
Here’s another math problem from Margaret and Helen:
TRUMP IQ TEST
If two trains pull away from a station at the same time and one is going south at a rate of 15 miles per hour and the other is going north at a rate of 20 miles per hour and Donald Trump is the Engineer on one of the trains, do you get on the train without Donald Trump or do you just kill yourself at the station?
Answer: Donald Trump lies. Absolutely don’t get on the Trump train because it will fucking kill you. I mean it. Really.

Send your relatives this article. 245,000 cases. One person, most likely from France, came into that conference and lit a COVID viral bonfire. ONE PERSON😰
Our family had a direct connection to this conference. We have been hunkered down with everyone working at home since March 6th. We had us four for Thanksgiving. Being more careful than ever now. Hang in there and stay home!!

Blaming someone at the party for giving you the virus is like blaming the bridge after you’ve jumped. Stay home.

Correct answer. After collecting all the highly-inflated fares in cash, Engineer DJT will uncouple the engine from the train and flee, leaving the passenger cars to be engulfed by the (choose one: tsunami, forest fire, zombie horde).

"Stop playing games and start saving lives.”
Said the man who told the CDC to give data to a private firm that he no doubt had a financial stake in and wouldn’t release real statistics to the public and told the American people it was a hoax.

Actually, I’m the one who gives them cash…in the form of money origami. Last year, for example, everyone got an item of take-out food made from folded currency. I even got a teenager to deliver all the ‘food’ in take-out containers.
The pizza was the standout.
