Across the US, millions of Americans are planning on scaled-back Thanksgiving dinners, with only members of their immediate family “bubbles” invited. Mayors of some of America’s large cities, along with the governors of California, Oregon and Washington State, have asked residents to limit travel over the holidays.<\/p>\n
As angst about the spoiled Thanksgiving holiday simmers, Dr. Anthony Fauci acknowledged Sunday during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” that American families should probably prepare to skip Christmas dinner, too.<\/p>\n
While Dr. Fauci has repeatedly praised Pfizer and Moderna, and assured the American public that the FDA’s first vaccine emergency-use authorization could be handed down within days, he cautioned during Sunday’s interview that people should continue to wear masks and observe social distancing even after they’ve been vaccinated.<\/p>\n
It’s just the latest unsettling hint that social distancing requirements could be here to stay.<\/p>\n
“I would recommend to people to not abandon all public health measures just because you\u2019ve been vaccinated,\u201d Fauci said during an appearance on CNN\u2019s State of the Union. “Because even though for the general population it might be 90% to 95% effective, you don\u2019t necessarily know for you how effective it is.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Later in the interview, Dr. Fauci agreed, with some trepidation, with Jake Tapper’s assessment that Christmas “is probably not going to be possible.”<\/p>\n
