“At this point, no gatherings outside your immediate family that are — in a sense — podded together. And what I mean by that is that the people who you have been with, who haven’t had outside exposures,” Osterholm outlined. “So, if your son and daughter are coming home from college, they are not part of your pod. You know, either they quarantine for 10 to 14 days or they are not part of what happens at the holidays. Don’t get together with neighbors. No Christmas parties. There is not a safe Christmas party in this country right now unless everybody for the previous 10 to 14 days were podded.”
“You know, I think many of my colleagues are saying, well, limit it to 10 people, whatever. … That’s happy talk,” he continued. “We have to tell people what’s happening. As you report these numbers every day, and I know that you don’t grow insensitive to them, you understand these are all humans who have lost their lives, who won’t be at the Christmas table this year, but at the same time, we keep telling people who are really upset, you know, we are coming down too hard. I mean, look at how governors and mayors are taking the heat right now for trying to limit transmission, but look what’s also happening. So, we have to say the next three to six weeks at minimum, longer, are our COVID weeks. We just have to get through this. Please, save a life, particularly the ones that you love, and don’t get together for these holiday parties, holiday events. That’s the very best thing that you could do to love someone today.”

Biden isn’t my boss.
Biden isn’t my mommy.
Biden isn’t my President.
I read the other day that the schools put the kids in pods. Good grief.
We are just furniture to these people.
Any studies been done on the FACT that the highest numbers of those with this virus are found where the Unwashed Socialist Democrats live in their crap-hole cities?
Yeah. I didn't think so.
My plans for celebrating Christmas are not changing.
“We’ll have to cancel Christmas.”
“Papa, are you sure?”
Come join my pod.
Why isn't the same standard applicable to the number of deaths when COVID is present? As it stands now, all are counted as COVID deaths.
Open the pod bay doors, HAL
Does this extend to Kwanza parties??
Democrats (or the pod people) don’t celebrate Christmas.
Well my corona virus task force says I can have a Christmas party? And my task force is more meaningful than SloJoe’s.
They didn’t cancel anything when AIDS was rampant in America?
Wonder how many Dems are attending Whitehouse Christmas parties?
First: Define ‘safe Christmas Party’.
I saw it too. Some guys clubbed a baby orca part of a pod, then a matriarch of the pod hunted those men down. There was snow and ice and cold water, just like Christmas time. The pods were vindictive hunters and killers. It was very scary. As a result of seeing that when I was young, I’m now scared of pods. So now if I can’t pod up because I’m petrified, what happens? Are we allowed to maybe “pack” up? I’m not near as scared of wolves as orcas. I was smart enough to not watch the movie “into the grey”, to avoid the trauma repeat of pod watching. Phew.
All that makes as much sense as anyone talking about this virus garbage. Actually, I think I made more sense, at least there’s some logical fear heh.
:)
I’m planning to attend a nice Christmas party this weekend with about 30 people present. I haven’t an ounce of fear.
Even the Sheriff here in L.A. County has said his deputies won’t be bothering anybody this year. There’s more danger from hysterical neighbors than the authorities. The police, already understaffed and overworked, have no time or desire to bust holiday gatherings. The large Latino population with extended families love to gather during Christmas time. A virus with a 99.9% survival rate or an out-of-control little dictator of a governor is not going to deter them from the joys of the season. The hell with that!
We've got provisions, and lots of beer.
Democrats are a bigger national threat than the ‘rona. THEY need to be cancelled.
Just plan on attending the parties of the beaurucrats cause they never follow the rules they extend to you.
Pod, Podded, what is this newspeak?
