Thanksgiving travel in the US
Some commenters in the US said that a large amount of Thanksgiving travel would be akin to pouring gasoline on the coronavirus fire.
However, there was still plenty of people who did travel, as this gif tweet shows.
“I think with the holidays and everything, it’s so important right now, especially because people are so bummed out because of the whole pandemic,” 25-year-old Cassidy Zerkle of Phoenix, who flew to Kansas City, Missouri, to visit family, told AP.
“As long as you’re maintaining your distance, you’re not touching stuff and you’re sanitising your hands, people should see their families right now."
The US has recorded more than 12.7 million coronavirus infections and over 262,000 deaths.
The country is still missing about eight infections for every one counted, according to a new government report Wednesday.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local authorities have begged people not to travel and urged them to keep their Thanksgiving celebrations small.
“That’ll make sure that your extended family are around to celebrate Christmas and to celebrate the holidays next year,” Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said.
Although activity was down across US airports from last year — by as much as 60 per cent — there were still an estimated 1 million travellers who passed through airport checkpoints between Friday-Tuesday.
