The holidays are fast approaching, so be sure to grab your mask, bubble wrap, and hazmat suit before leaving the home to meet your families for Thanksgiving.
That is the advice being given by Dani Blum at the New York Times. Blum writes for a section called “the Well,” which the Times advertises as “essential news and guidance to live your healthiest life.” Blum offers her advice “as we enter our third pandemic holiday season,” noting that doctors are worried about an increase in COVID cases.

It should be noted that COVID vaccines have been readily available in the U.S. for 18 months now. Anyone who is worried about the effects of COVID has already been vaccinated or received however many booster shots it is that have been recommended at this point. According to one doctor she spoke to, Blum writes that “family gatherings can be safe this year, and resemble something like pre-pandemic times.”
How many people are actually living like this — still paralyzed by a pandemic that has been over for a year?
Blum lists testing and “mini quarantines” as things families should do before gathering for the holidays. Really? One of the doctors she speaks to says that you should “minimize your exposure” before these gathers, which means wearing masks in public and “timing trips to the grocery store for when it isn’t super packed.” You and your family members may have seven COVID booster shots, but you should still cover your face and avoid any human contact outside the home just to be safe.
You should also ask your own family members if they’re up to date on their vaccinations and buy some heat lamps so you can eat outside (or cut some family members out of the gathering. Sorry, Uncle Jim!). “This is something you can manage,” one doctor Blum reached out to said. “But you can’t put your head in the sand.”
Of course, you don’t have to listen to the New York Times or its COVID-panicked so-called “experts” about the holiday season. Most people were holding normal holiday gatherings in 2020, before vaccines were available. Most people are already living in pre-pandemic normal ways now, one year and a half after you could walk into any pharmacy and get vaccinated.

One of Blum’s pundit doctors claims “we’re still in this,” but no, “we” aren’t. No one outside of the establishment media bubble thinks you need to become a hermit or hold Christmas dinner outside in December to be safe from COVID. The pandemic is over, and so is the narrative control of pandemic panic punditry.
