But don't worry. The family refuses to live in fear! With both parents also contracting it (grandma also had it), and an uncle in the hospital, they held an in person visitation and funeral. Don't live in fear, Karens!
What’s your Thanksgiving and Christmas going to look like?

I had to stop for a second because I thought you were talking about your kids.
MIL usually hosts Thanksgiving, but she just had surgery last week, and she needs to be resting for 3-6 weeks. So who volunteered to cook? The husband. He's a good cook, he can follow instructions, and a pretty good problem solver. I have to work. I volunteered to go shopping and pick up any food/ingredients that are needed. Sooooo, we'll see how this turns out for husband, with minimal assistance, cooking for 11 people.
Christmas will be 15 people as husband's youngest brother comes down from Sioux Falls with his family. (That SIL is a nurse, so I know they've been taking precautions)
I believe husband will once again make himself available to make the Christmas candies like he did last year.
Give me liberty, some turkey, or give me death. Maybe all three. Who knows.
Shaming and name-calling a family as they mourn the loss of a loved one. Interesting.
99.9% survival rate...so will i take the risk of .1% of dying to eat my moms mashed potatoes and apple pie? absolutely.
Normal minus the grandparents who recently moved to an assisted living home. Have a pretty small family with only a few who aren't working from home.

Just our little family of three.
We don't do anything larger due to stubbornly unaddressed allergy problems.
I expect rev is already fielding some heavy shame/pressure calls from her folks, who are the ones who refused to address the situation and kept nearly killing me. It'll be a fun couple of months.

Thats my biggest fear. Really wanted to see my Grandpa this weekend who just had a stroke, but didn't want to chance it since we were at a restaurant Friday night. I dont necessarily agree or like all the rules, but if it keeps my grandparents around, Im all for it.
Me eating something alone in my hermit cave would be my best guess.

I'm on the side of taking precautions and being careful. I'm also really slow to judge people who are set on seeing family, as I've been losing my grandparents over the past 5 years.
If you're planning on having a gathering, and have family that could be deemed high risk, I'd encourage you to get a test prior to going, and maybe not do any high risk activities leading up to the holiday.

If my mom got it, it's curtains for her. So I won't take the risk. I'm not worried about myself at all.
And DHL. I had a driver that delivered to my side of campus before DHL was absorbed by one of the other companie. He wore shorts until the thermometer dipped below 30.
I'm pretty sure she was pointing out the fact that having an in-person visitation and funeral for a family member that died due to similar negligence is just doubling down and not very smart.
Irony.
How is it callous to point out they are taking your very advice and refusing to live in fear?
