re: #133 calochortus
I’ll confess that we have Thanksgiving plans-9 people, local, family (members of our “pod.”) Mostly outdoors. Masks indoors at all times, outdoors except when eating. Bad weather or anyone in the hosting household cancels the whole thing.
I don’t suppose we’ll get together in person for Christmas which is sad, but the prudent thing to do.
The issue with the “pod” idea is it assumes two things:
a) People in the so-called pod are all following the rules and wouldn’t lie about doing something they shouldn’t
b) They still have to go out; they may be exposed and not know it, and before they become symptomatic can spread it to the rest of the pod.
