    I think cases are going to rise very dramatically due to people getting together for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
  •  
    I think that the cases are going to keep going up. People are still going to get together for Christmas and thanksgiving and it is going to go way up.

    Cases are going to keep going up over the holidays.
  •  
    people are still getting together in big groups for the holidays and the number of cases is going to rise more and more.
  •  
    I'm sure no matter how you look at it, the cases will drastically go up in December. Especially since Christmas is rolling around, we saw how many families and people still gathered together for Thanksgiving. It's not going to be any better for Christmas.

    This is just going to get worse after black friday if nothing changes.
  •  
    thanksgiving and christmas are both holidays that are meant to be spent with your families so there was already no doubt that cases were going to go up. and same goes for black friday, you're shopping at multiple different stores in the span of two or three days
  •  
    Many people are spending time with their families around this time so there was no doubt that cases would have gone up. I'm just surprised they went up so drastically and in such a short period.
  •  
    we all suspected the rate of infection would go up during the holidays. meeting with people from all over the country definitely increases the amount of exposure a family can receive. people can choose to connect virtually instead of in person. it's not the same, but it decreases the exposure

  •  
    NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- AT&T and T-Mobile hinted this Thanksgiving that their merger may be off, but the unpalatable repercussions of ending their eight-month pursuit of a deal suggests they may be playing a game of turkey.

Perspectives: Columbus Day 2020 | AllSides - 3 views

  •  
    As a person with a family of immigrants, I believe that seeing "Columbus Day" isn't correct and better off with calling it Indigenous peoples' day due to Native Americans already living throughout the entirety of the North American continent. I wanna know if other people see it as Columbus Day of Indigenous peoples day.
  •  
    I think we should start sharing who all these people part of American history really were because growing up, social studies class always made it seem like Columbus was a hero that discovered a continent and came and had a party with the native Americans where they ate turkey which is why we now have thanksgiving. I think we deserved to know the truth.
  •  
    The idea that we should continue to celebrate this racist colonizer as a hero is absurd. Instead honor Indigenous people and their culture. Altogether Columbus was a person who should not be memorialized and celebrated as his actions against Native Americans are simply atrocious
