Despite Covid-19 still running rampant across the country, many Americans are refusing to give up their holiday plans in order to help slow the spread. "We're alarmed with the exponential increase in cases, hospitalisations, and deaths," Centers for Disease Control (CDC) official Henry Walke said. Video / CNNGlobal flight tracking service, Flightradar24, took a snapshot of flights being taken across North America on Tuesday, two days before Thanksgiving. If we don't limit our celebration to just our households, we will undoubtably see cases and hospitalisations rise after Thanksgiving." Since March, when COVID-19 cases started to rise across the US, each holiday that has passed has triggered outbreaks across the country.
