What will the impact of Thanksgiving this year be given that COVID seems already to be nearly out of control in the US?
With cases at 200,000 a day, and rising about 20-25% a week, is there any chance that those who claimed that Fauci was scaremongering when he said they could reach 100,000 cases a day, who claimed COVID would be gone by May, that a 250,000 death toll was a fantasy etc finally wake up?
Or will they continue to take a lead from your president retweeting advice to ignore recommended travel restrictions?
In the UK, we had a sudden spike a week following the start of a second lockdown as the usual idiots thought it would be great to have one big party. Is the US destined to make the same mistake but on an altogether different scale?

The short answer is "No" they won't wake up. Those mentally challenged folks on the right wing here in America who believed our President's lies about this virus make up a large minority of our population, and will blissfully go on spreading it to others.

Pandemics that started in China in the past 100 years or so include the flu epidemics of 1957 and most likely 1918 as well as the coronavirus outbreaks of 2002 and 2019, assorted experts report.
The pandemic of 1957-1959, dubbed the Asian flu because it emerged in China, killed 2 million people worldwide in a two-year period. The Asian flu, caused by the H2N2 subtype of the influenza A virus, began in Guizhou province in 1956 and spread to Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States, according to MPH Online, an independent online resource.
The 1918 influenza pandemic, which is often referred to as the “Spanish flu” because censorship during World War I limited its reporting elsewhere, may have originated in China the year before, according to some experts.
The 1918 pandemic was the deadliest of the century and one of the more deadly in history, killing 20 million to 50 million people globally
