That's true as well, but what I'm trying to address is what the logic might have been behind the CDC's recommendation. They don't know your grandma.
.In all fairness, people who work in restaurants are trained in safe food handling, grandma may be good at that... or not.
I think they understand that concept just fine. The problem with it is that it doesn't afford them the opportunity to control more pieces of everyone's lives. I think they get some sort of joy out of placing restrictions on people. It's like the Governor of NY - Andrew Cuomo - stating that in sporting clubs, doubles tennis is specifically banned, but singles tennis is OK. That was a specific ban from the Governors office, and not a ban placed by any particular sporting club. The governors office felt it worthwhile to specifically come up with individual rules like this for all sorts of activities. FYI - racquetball was not banned. Tell me how being in an enclosed space with someone when playing racquetball is perfectly fine, but being 15 feet away from someone on a tennis court, outside, is banned. You can't apply logic to these people, it just doesn't work. It's about control, not about common sense.More idiocracy. If you're high risk stay home, that's a concept the left can't fathom.

Back to the thread topic, my family will also be mostly separated for Thanksgiving this year. My brother's family lives outside of Huntsville, AL, and make the drive each year either for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I enjoy seeing him and the family, and always have a blast seeing my niece and two nephews. Seeing them grow and have more and more interesting conversations with them is something I greatly enjoy. The younger nephew has been playing a lot of chess, and I'm confident that he'll be able to beat me in the near future. He's only 12 by the way! We play online, and he always tells me to NEVER let him win, and to play him tough. What I haven't told him is that I'm not taking it easy on him at all, he's just one hell of a player. We had a 'death match' scheduled for Thanksgiving this year with the Star Wars chess set I bought him for Christmas last year - but that won't be happening now. My older nephew (16) has been shooting the 22 rifle I bought him. He wants to shoot an AR and a shotgun, because in his words, "those are the coolest guns I haven't shot yet". I had already planned a range trip with my brother and nephew so he could shoot some new guns. My niece is only 9, but will talk your ear off for hours on end on any matter of topics, which I enjoy. Those are the things I'll miss this year, the food is secondary.
The lack of deviled eggs will sting a little though.
