We have been here before. People should be reasonable. However, did you see that there were notices posted on the doors of homes with the sick. It's called quarantining the ill.

That's how it was done for centuries before 1918, think they also would paint marks on infected houses with whitewash.

We plan to slam a couple of Cornish hens in the set n forget, some mashed taters n gravy, with sides and dessert. At home, alone. Due to COVID we last saw our Grandson last Thanksgiving. We are giving thanks for our family still being alive. Some of the best moments in service were sharing a Holiday meal with others while deployed, with families at home. My GGF lived 1860-1918. Nobody around to ask if the flu or hard work killed him.
