They're not going to be wearing their masks in a house with their extended family.

My concern at this point is that I send my kids back to their mom tomorrow morning. I'm fairly sure that my ex's family will be doing the big traditional Thanksgiving dinner, with the whole crew. And my ex traveled by plane this past weekend while I had the kids, so she might be a vector of spread just by herself.

However I've already set the precedent that if COVID hits either household, the kids stay exactly where they are regardless of custody schedule for two weeks, from the final positive test of any adult/child. So at least if they end up all getting it, I don't have to then introduce the kids back to threaten my household until it's fully cleared.

I think that's a lot of it this year. People don't want to anger their families by taking a year off from the tradition, so even those people who don't want to be a part of it will end up being a part of it to avoid rocking the boat.
yes, I told my daughters to tell their grandmother that they would not attend a dinner for 8 or more people.

if the other 8 people would tell grandma this, she wouldn't be hosting this dinner, but no one wants to hurt grandma's feelings so..........

Warnings from public health officials not to travel for Thanksgiving didn't stop passengers from packing US airports and planes this weekend.
From Friday to Sunday, more than 3 million people passed through airport security checkpoints in the United States — a record weekend for air travel since the pandemic hit in March. Sunday was the biggest day for air travel since March 16, with 1.05 million people screened.
US health officials have pleaded with the American public not to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday this week as new Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths soar. Friday saw a one-day record of 196,000 new US cases, according to Johns Hopkins.
The airlines say that the cleaning procedures used between flights, the exchange of fresh air in the cabin throughout flights and the hospital-quality air filters now used on planes make it safe to fly. The airlines also require passengers to wear masks.

Ahh, yeah.

BTW I actually think the individual risk of air travel isn't all that significant right now. As long as everyone's wearing the mask [properly], and as long as you're not seated right next to someone contagious for a cross-continent or cross-oceanic flight, it's unlikely that you'll have a problem. 

However I think the societal risk of air travel + unmasked family gatherings is going to give R0 a big bump. Many states suggest that people who travel should self-quarantine for 14 days, and I sure as hell know that ain't gonna happen.

I worry less about the air travel than what people are going to do wherever they go.  They aren't flying in general for some small group.  And then on Sunday they get back on planes to go home.

I worry about THAT return trip some.

We aren't doing any extended family Thanksgiving or Christmas.  It sucks.  We didn't see my family for Christmas last year, because my dad was having knee replacement on 12/27, so they didn't want to host or travel, and 4 of us siblings are spread out.  Since then they've seen their grandchildren once, in August, when we did a day trip and had a cookout.

By next summer it will have been about 19 months since they've seen them.  When you are talking about small children, that's eons.  My younger one had just turned 4, and will be nearly 6.  But nobody is putting up a fight.  You can't jam 12 people into a house for a 4 day weekend.

Well, you could, but everyone would have to test a week prior and then quarantine. Not everyone can do that though.

If you fly out the weekend before TG and home the weekend after, it is busy as all get out. But if you fly out on Tuesday, and return home on Monday, it's a ghost town. 

Either way, it's exactly one week off of work. Been doing that trick for years.

Really - I dunno before covid many on this board mentioned getting illness presumably from other passangers and the recirculating air on board.I've not had covid YET that I know of but I wouldn't get on a flight.Unless it was CD in his old crop duster and we were headed to a board meeting
