Our daughter wanted to attend a wedding of some high school friends this weekend. We told her not to come for Thanksgiving if she did. Seems harsh, but with the number of people around us getting the Cov right now and being really sick with it, we thought it prudent. Also told child two to get tested before heading this way from school, and to stay there unless he’s negative. New world reality.
Our daughter still likes us better alive, but we are going to have to figure out what to do with her and her partner (probably husband by then) when they move back to the US later this winter and need to stay with us until they find a place.

Side note I do have camping gear. I guess I could live in a tent until I was in the clear.

Its an interesting situation for sure. If I were to start showing symptoms at work, coming home would just put my family at risk. My job isn’t going to pay to put me in a hotel, so I have no idea what I would do. I guess live in my mini van? Is it ethical to go to a hotel knowing you are infected? This has sort of been my issue with the whole situation since it started.

Dayton, OH area.
Bonus: Both she and her husband work at the hospital.
I don't know if they are inviting anyone local over for dinner, but the plan is for me (immuno-drugged) and parents on both sides (all 65+) to stay there for the weekend.
What could go wrong?

In more positive news Team New Zealand launched their new race boat. Looks fast. Like 50 knots plus fast. And they got if up on it's foils on its first day of testing, even in light airs. I'd hate to be on a chase boat trying like heck to keep up when they wind it up during training and later the races.

Could always cancel yourself. I would imagine all would understand.

They are the only place where you can be safe from zombies. As long as you don’t anchor.

Test fired the lights and the house is still here. Looks good for tomorrow. Normally they don't get fired up until Thanksgiving night, but since that's been cancelled, may as well let em rip.

We’re not having guests the entire holiday season. I can wait until next year. Sad.

I told them that by Summer we might all be vaccinated, and we should all gather at The Ancestral Home (Mom and Dad's house, now owned by the sister who bought it from them) and have a big group hug.

4 of my 5 siblings and I all agreed on a time for a Thanksgiving Zoom call. Since we're spread from the East Coast to the middle of the Pacific, it took a little figuring to find a time. It will be interesting to see if we can pull it off. The last few years, one sibling or another has come to visit at Thanksgiving, but not this year.
