You can ignore pseudoscientific rules and celebrate Thanksgiving responsibly

Politicians and bureaucrats are trying to control and even eliminate holiday gatherings. As a physician, however, I urge you to make your own responsible choices.

Not long ago, Americans wouldn’t have even considered the possibility of government agents entering their homes to cancel their Thanksgiving. Then came COVID-19. Gov. Cuomo has imposed a 10-person cap on New Yorkers’ Thanksgiving tables. Three-thousand miles away, the California Department of Public Health imposed a 10 p.m. curfew on millions of Golden Staters. Across the country, other politicians have mandated similar restrictions.
