The U.S. coronavirus outbreak has grown worse since August, with the U.S. reporting more than 170,100 new cases on Wednesday. The CDC now projects that “newly reported COVID-19 deaths will likely increase over the next four weeks, with 7,300 to 16,000 new deaths likely to be reported in the week ending December 12, 2020.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday advised Americans not to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The CDC then clarified that Thanksgiving celebrations should be limited only to those people living in the same household. This would be only people who have been living in the house for the 14 days before the gathering should be considered a member of the household. That would exclude college students and members of the military who planned to go home for the holidays.
