Thanksgiving travel will make those dire statistics even worse, and we won't know the full extent of that impact for two to three more weeks.

Decision makers should also reinforce important public health measures such as mask mandates, physical distancing, good hand hygiene and limitations on the size of crowd gatherings, particularly in advance of the upcoming holidays. Prior experiences demonstrate that not embracing these public health measures will keep us in a cycle of continued surges of infections until a vaccine is widely available and taken by a broad swath of the public.
