Surgeon General Jerome Adams on Monday said that Thanksgiving celebrations can be so-called superspreader events as he called for Americans to keep such events small and outdoors.

“I want the American people to know that we are at a dire point in our fight with this virus by any measure: cases, positivity, hospitalizations, deaths. We are seeing more Americans negatively impacted than ever before,” Adams said.
