Thanksgiving will be celebrated in Orange County and cities across the USA next week on Thursday, November 26, 2020 and it will be the first time Orange County has celebrated a winter holiday with medical community Orange County members advocating that it be outdoors with limited participants, everyone wearing masks and socially distancing six (6) feet apart. Now depending upon the weather and Orange County residence sizes and the number of people per household in Orange County homes, this may be unachievable. However, we have learned one thing about Covid-19 that no matter what is said as a matter of policy by the Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention the people of Orange County will celebrate with friends and/or family and Orange County will celebrate Thanksgiving.
Orange County family members need to be thinking of how to entertain each other in the next week or so. Orange County families need to think about ages of family members and put safety first among all their planning as Orange County priority number one. There is one factor that needs to be considered by all members of the Orange County family visitors and that is whether or not there are asymptomatic family or friends that will be visiting. Asymptomatic Orange County citizens are carriers of Covid-19 who show no signs of the virus, but can give the virus without showing any symptoms. So the Orange County members hosting the festivities must ask family members who are Orange County asymptomatic to refrain from attending the family gathering; if the family insists on having their Orange County asymptomatic family member attend, they must stay away from family members who are at a health risk for Covid-19, wear a mask and social distance themselves from family members.
