This morning a dire warning from the cdc about thanksgiving. Amid this critical phase of the covid19 pandemic cdc is recommending against travel during the thanksgiving period. Officials are warning that if people do not stay home the holiday could become a super spreader event. Abc7 News Reporter kate larsen explains why staying home is so important this year. Every time you start to bring people in from the outside, you increase the chances there will be somebody there who has covid19. Reporter but just how much will it increase the chances . Ucf epidemiologist dr. George rutherford explained the math based on californias Positivity Rate, which is about 5 right now. That means if you pick someone at random to spend thanksgiving with, there would be a 5 chance that one person was infected. Reporter so if you have a gathering with three total people, it increases to a 9. 5 chance, six people from mixed households, there is a 22 that someone is infected. With 12 people, youre looking at a 43 chance someone at your party has covid. Is there any number of people you can gather with inside that would be safe . No, the safest way to have thanksgiving is have it within your household. Reporter Positivity Rates vary by state and county since San Francisco for example is 1. 8 but Fresno County is 7 and San Bernardino county is 10. 5 . If relatives in los angeles, relatives in san jose, relatives in the city, everybody stay where they are. We especially dont want people coming in from highly endemicenc areas. Reporter theres a warning from the neighbors to the north that celebrated thanksgiving in mid october. If you look what happened after canadian thanksgiving, the cases were going up like this but then after canadians thanksgiving, the slope changed and went up very rapidly. Thats cause for concern because if thanksgiving gathering cause a sharp spike in covid outbreaks, its likely hospitals will fill up and death rates will increase not just for Covid Patients but other emergencies like someone having a heart attack that might not get help as fast with an over burdened medical system. So dont do it. Stay at home. Kate larsen, abc7 news. You can weigh the risks of different holiday traditions. Abc 7 has an exclusive holiday risk calculator. You can find it on abc7news.
