Prominent Twitter users erupted into a series of arguments after an MSNBC health columnist floated the idea of canceling Thanksgiving and moving winter holidays to prevent illness. On Wednesday, Dr. Esther Choo, a professor of emergency medicine at Oregon Health and Science University, gave her thoughts on how to prevent respiratory illnesses, such as COVID-19 and RSV, during the holiday season. She tweeted that "for so many reasons" Thanksgiving should be canceled, winter holidays should be moved to the summer, and winter holidays should be more "hygge," or cozy. Additionally, Choo touted several benefits of such a move, including a

OK, I'll cancel 'winter holidays' but Christmas will still be observed in my home, as was Thanksgiving.

"For so many reasons", she says. Number one being the desire to end every tradition of Western culture, particularly the religious and social ones. Prevention of respiratory illnesses isn't driven by season, but behavior, hygiene, and habit. Move Christmas to summer, and it will take the peak flu season with it, because the heavy travel will go wherever it is.

#1 why would you cancel anything at all? Covid has been debunked - it never was a deadly virus unless you were old and weak. I for one never feared it (and I am 71 and overweight but do not plan to live forever anyway) and I refused to wear a stupid mask. When confronted about lack of mask I generally offered to put the confronter into a world of hurt and they all backed off.

#10, I got the impression that #1 was referring to the “winter holidays” as those suggested by the PC woke crowd to replace religious holidays. Like calling Easter the Spring Solstice or some such nonsense.

BTW, Choo needs to go back to Asia. She would be much happier there and so would we be here as soon as she’s gone.

Shooting oneself in the head is an even surer method to prevent the spread of contagion.

Might as well take September off the calendar since that is when many hurricanes take place. The bill by a Dem rep. in the late 1960's didn't pass, but I think we should have progressed enough now that it would pass with flying colors.

An Oregon University owned by the Chi-Coms...Nevah! :-).
What can one expect from garbage like anyone who teaches at an Oregon University? I Hope, some day the good people from Eastern Oregon can unite with Idaho or become a state of their own. I think there are a few counties in Northern California that would be happy to join any effort to create another State.

#10, I am 71 and got covid just before Labor Day. I am in good health and it lasted a day and half. I've had worse colds. Everyone in my family has had it and we all got together for Thanksgiving and plan on doing the same at Christmas. I no longer listen to any public health offical pronouncements.

Dress this quack up in Balenciaga, gold jewelry, $1000 in the purse, and 4" heels, and drop her in the middle of SF's Tenderloin, LA's skid row, anywhere in Portland, or NYC's Harlem or Crown Heights, and see how long she lasts.

There's such a lovely crowd over at MSNBC. Happiness abounds from the mental midgets who fester there. We'll take Ms. Choo's advice into consideration. This dingbat has a serious mental defect with her thinking.

Yay, Christmas in July! Santa will have to put wheels on his sleigh and wear speedos. That’s not a sight I wish to see.

Let’s just bring on more “global warming”———-no winter, just warmth year-round. It’s as stupid as her suggestion!

MSNBC for is the new "Oracle" for our civilization. Maybe they should go dark and send everyone home as an example of how to behave in a pandemic that never needed to happen.
