Surges of COVID-19 patients are threatening to overwhelm hospitals across the nation. CNN reports at least 123,639 people across the country were in the hospital with the novel coronavirus on Saturday. The COVID Tracking Project says that marks the 32nd consecutive day that the number of hospitalizations has exceeded 100,000. Cases skyrocketed after the Thanksgiving holiday. The fallout form Christmas and New Year's celebrations are still unfolding. Johns Hopkins University data reveals that as of Saturday, more than 20.4 million people have been infected with the virus in the US. At least 350,186 people have died from the illness.
Thanksgiving is the biggest holiday in America. But, COVID-19 has forced many Americans to reconsider their plans. According to Insider polling nearly one in five respondents canceled their pre-made Thanksgiving travels plans as a result of the pandemic. Additionally, nearly 19% of respondents reported Thanksgiving travel plans which include either driving or flying. ICU beds in hospitals are increasingly reaching capacity. Experts are concerned that the odds of a post-Thanksgiving coronavirus spike are "extremely high."
Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will not be having Thanksgiving dinner with his 89-year-old mother and two of his three daughters, contrary to what he alluded to a radio interview on Monday. "The story is, my mom is going to come up and two of my girls. But the plans change," Cuomo told WAMC radio. However, later on Monday, a senior adviser for Cuomo told Insider the dinner will be off "given the current circumstances with COVID." "Don't tell his mom — she doesn't know yet," added Rich Azzopardi, a senior advisor to Cuomo, said in a statement.
