Dr. Fauci says this is when we’ll know how bad the Thanksgiving COVID-19 surge is

[Yoni Heisler]

• The Thanksgiving holiday will likely cause a huge increase in new coronavirus infections, health experts warn.
• Dr. Fauci said we'll know the extent to which family gatherings impacted the pandemic in about two to three weeks.
• Despite warnings to avoid travel, millions of Americans have already traveled home over the past few days alone.

Despite pleas from the CDC urging people to avoid travel during the Thanksgiving holiday, Americans are donning their masks and visiting loved ones regardless. Just this past weekend, the TSA announced that they screened more than 2 million passengers at U.S. airports on Friday and Saturday.

With families getting together in close quarters this Thanksgiving holiday, many health experts are worried that we're going to see a massive spike in new coronavirus infections. Indeed, if you take a look at the COVID-19 infection rate in a big city like Toronto following Canadian Thanksgiving, the line graph almost shoots up vertically. And seeing as how Thanksgiving is a much bigger deal in the U.S. than it is in Canada, there's a strong chance it won't be long before we see a record-breaking number of COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations, and deaths across several U.S. states.
