Day 2 of the Winter of Death
COVID Christmas: Officials advise masks at home, canceling gatherings, shunning unvaxxed
State and city governments concerned as cases of omicron variant spike nationwide
Lord Bill Gates cancelled his "holiday parties" so they shall all follow their leader. It's a trip who really holds the decisions in this country. Anyway, my find friends from north in LA thinks everyone should do this for Christmas. I loved LA.....
County of Los Angeles "The safest option is to gather in-person only with members of your household and to celebrate virtually with other family and friends," Los Angeles County said in its winter holiday guidance. The county is also telling people to avoid singing indoors, "wear a mask when gathering indoors" and to set tables grouping only people from the same household.
Louisiana's government issued similar guidance, telling people to "mask indoors when not with your everyday household."
D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser recommended the same, telling people to "wear masks indoors, even at small gatherings."
Chicago says that "[f]ully vaccinated people can gather indoors with others who have been fully vaccinated without restrictions" while the unvaccinated "should consider not attending gatherings over the holidays."
Philadelphia Health Commissioner Cheryl Bettigole said nobody should be gathering for Christmas, regardless of vaccination status.
"Please do not hold or attend holiday parties indoors, it's just too dangerous," she said.
Pennsylvania, was just as stern.
"Limit in-person holiday gatherings to only people you live with or limit to a small group of individuals with whom you are regularly in contact," its newest guidance says.
The White House is warning that unvaccinated Americans are "looking at a winter of severe illness and death." And some cities and Espola and The Husler are urging vaccinated people to shun gathering with the unvaccinated altogether.
Any other cities?
