His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Regardless of what others, like family, friends or strangers, may think, your time and your personal space are completely and utterly your business and yours to direct as you see fit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re weighing whether or not to attend a gathering with loved ones this year or to host a dinner of your own, it’s important to be able to communicate your personal boundaries in a variety of settings, even if it leads to uncomfortable conversations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Richard Carpiano, a professor of public policy at UC Riverside and speaker on vaccine hesitancy, underlines the importance of checking in with the host (or your guests) and stating what your personal comfort levels are and what precautions you’re taking — whether it’s wearing a mask indoors or preferring to eat outdoors — in a frank way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, you can make it about you and your personal preferences. Be specific about your COVID safety choices with hosts or other guests, he says: “It’s very important that people should be willing to speak up and not feel peer-pressured because they have to show up to some place or feel like they’re being put in some sort of undue risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure, some of these conversations could feel awkward at first. But Carpiano says that ultimately these conversations are with friends and family — and they should support the decision you choose for yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, you’re making this decision to reduce your family’s risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19, and it’s your way of keeping them safe from harm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is an ultimate act of care and we need to focus on that,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11846759/saying-no-to-a-covid-thanksgiving-holidays-how-to-break-it-to-family-or-friends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">says Julia Feldman, a teacher and sex educator in the Bay Area\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11846759/saying-no-to-a-covid-thanksgiving-holidays-how-to-break-it-to-family-or-friends\">\u003cstrong>Saying No to the Holidays During COVID-19?

[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Dr. William Miller, physician and public health epidemiologist at The Ohio State University College of Public Health\"]“I really do think that it’s perfectly acceptable to say, ‘I’m sorry you’re not vaccinated.

So, what can you do? “You just really have to come from an emotional place of being honest,” Feldman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When navigating a difficult conversation, you might be tempted to stay extra firm and resolute in your communication, in case the recipient interprets any hesitation as a cause for hope that you haven’t really made up your mind. Being firm and specific in what you will and will not do is great, Feldman says, but don’t let that stop you from “expressing [your] sadness and regret,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"unvaccinated\">\u003c/a>Think carefully about how to include unvaccinated family members\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Deciding whom to invite to your home is a matter of personal discretion, but experts say at this point in the pandemic it’s pretty clear that a fully vaccinated group is the safest scenario.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s reasonable for people to require their guests to be immunized,” says \u003ca href=\"https://www.ohsu.edu/providers/judith-a-guzman-cottrill-do\">Judy Guzman-Cottrill\u003c/a>, a pediatric infectious disease expert at Oregon Health and Science University, especially if guests include kids too young to be vaccinated (or who have only received their first shot) or people less likely to have a strong immune response to the vaccine, like the immunocompromised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are the people who we still really need to make sure we keep as safe as possible because this pandemic is not over,” she adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A vaccine requirement could lead to some hurt feelings or conflict, but physician and public health epidemiologist William Miller of The Ohio State University suggests framing the decision as a way to protect older loved ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really do think that it’s perfectly acceptable to say, ‘I’m sorry you’re not vaccinated. You know, Grandma’s here, and by you coming, that increases her risk substantially,'” Miller says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An alternative is to ask an unvaccinated guest to do a lab-based PCR test 24 to 48 hours before the event (as long as they’re able to get the results back in time) or a rapid antigen COVID test just before their arrival. In addition, Emily Landon, an infectious disease physician at the University of Chicago, recommends asking unvaccinated guests to take extra precautions in the week leading up to the event, including wearing masks in public places and limiting exposure to other unvaccinated people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think with the delta variant, most people are getting sick a few days after exposure, but it can take up to a week, maybe a little longer,” Landon explains. “I think it makes the most sense to take precautions for one week prior to having close, unmasked contact with someone who’s at high risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"kids\">\u003c/a>Take precautions if your young child is unvaccinated or has had only one shot\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Many children age 5 to 11 have received their first of two recommended doses, but won’t be eligible for a second dose until after the Thanksgiving holiday. Immunity builds gradually after vaccination, but it’s not known exactly how much protection just one dose of the COVID vaccine provides to kids, says Guzman-Cottrill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know many families find themselves in this annoying state of limbo right now because their kids will not be fully vaccinated by Thanksgiving,” she says. Given this “limbo” state, “it’s really important to just keep in mind that this is not the time for those families to let their guard down,” she says. It’s not a reason to cancel multigenerational gatherings, but it’s a reminder to take precautions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carpiano says that caregivers should do risk management of sorts and be prepared to bring masks and buy home tests you can take the day of arriving at someone’s house. “What we’re finding right now with testing is that these home tests can be really quite effective in [detecting] if an immediate or recent sort of infection has occurred,” he says. While these home tests might be a little hard to find, they are available at many local drugstores.[aside postID=news_11846759 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/pexels-breakingpic-3056.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what precautions are recommended for protecting more vulnerable guests from possible exposure due to unvaccinated kids? It depends on the health and age of the relatives who will be attending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Grandma is a spry 70-year-old woman who has no medical problems and has two doses of vaccine plus a booster, I don’t think these kids are going to pose a ton of risk,” Landon says. But if the grandparent is over 80 and has medical problems, the risk of a bad outcome is much higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An easy step to take if you’re concerned about your unvaccinated kids passing the virus to grandparents is to mask up, not only during the visit, but also for a week in advance when in public, especially avoiding crowded, indoor spaces, even if mask mandates are not in effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she would not recommend keeping kids out of school to avoid exposure unless there are extra risks associated with your kids’ school — such as an outbreak of cases or a lack of masking. If the circumstances warrant missing school to protect a high-risk relative, “then that may be a layer you want to add,” Landon says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another option: If you live in a temperate climate, like many parts of the Bay Area, stay outdoors as much as possible for mixed-generation social events, and maybe choose to not sleep over in the same house with the grandparents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just come during the day for the big event and stay at a hotel,” Landon suggests. Or have the grandparents sleep in a hotel, she adds. If a hotel is not financially possible, you might consider asking friends or neighbors if their home is empty over the holiday season and available for you to use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line: “You have to think about the risk of the individuals involved — about what would happen if they got COVID,” says Landon. And better to err on the side of caution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11894546/pfizer-covid-vaccine-kids-5-11-near-me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Where Can I Get a Pfizer COVID Vaccine for Kids Age 5-11 Near Me?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>If you’re gathering with grandparents or other older people, realize this: They’re still at risk\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Reality check: \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/10/20/1047727415/what-to-know-about-the-risk-of-serious-or-fatal-breakthrough-covid-infections\">People over 80 have an elevated risk of dying from COVID\u003c/a>, even if they’re vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the vaccines offer strong protection against hospitalization and death, breakthrough infections are a reality. Often, a coronavirus infection following vaccination leads to only mild illness, and sometimes people test positive but show no symptoms at all. However, older people and those with compromised immune systems are at higher risk of getting a severe breakthrough COVID case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though it’s rare for breakthroughs to lead to hospitalization or death, the chances for one group are higher. As NPR reported, CDC data from August showed that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/10/20/1047727415/what-to-know-about-the-risk-of-serious-or-fatal-breakthrough-covid-infections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fully vaccinated people age 80 or older were about 13 times more likely to die from COVID\u003c/a> compared to the general vaccinated population (of all ages). That’s one reason \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11890031/where-can-i-get-a-pfizer-covid-booster-shot-near-me-heres-whos-eligible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">getting boosters is especially important\u003c/a> for older adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is something that we must be conscious of as people are gathering across generations,” Miller says. “Grandpa and Grandma are protected relative to if they hadn’t been vaccinated, but they are still at risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why it makes sense to take precautions during travel and in the week leading up to any celebration where older friends and relatives will be present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would absolutely encourage people to continue to wear masks” in crowded, indoor places such as grocery stores, Miller says, even if it’s not mandatory. This will reduce the risk of being exposed and passing on the virus. And remember, the\u003ca href=\"https://www.tsa.gov/news/press/releases/2021/08/20/tsa-extends-face-mask-requirement-through-january-18-2022\"> Transportation Security Administration’s face mask requirement\u003c/a> remains in effect through Jan. 18, 2022, requiring masking in airports, aboard commercial airline flights, and on commuter bus and rail systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, bottom line, even if everyone invited to your holiday gathering is vaccinated, it’s still important to protect loved ones who are older or immunocompromised.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Get a booster shot if you’re eligible\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Federal health agencies now recommend \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/11/19/1057280974/cdc-advisers-back-expansion-of-covid-boosters-for-all-adults\">COVID vaccine boosters for all adults\u003c/a> six months after their last shot — and they may be especially important for adults over 50 or any adult with underlying conditions or a high-risk job. Getting one before holiday travel and gatherings could increase your immunity against COVID.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agencies’ decision was based on emerging evidence that immunity can diminish over time and evidence that shows a booster dose can, just as the name implies, boost protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.11.15.21266341v1\">most recent real-world data\u003c/a> comes from the U.K. Back in September, the U.K. government introduced a booster program targeting people 50 and older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Anthony Fauci, White House medical adviser and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the new analysis points to a significant increase in protection (against symptomatic infection) from a booster dose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the third dose in people whose protection has drifted down to about 63%, you boost it back up to at least 94%, which is really quite impressive,” Fauci says. “That’s exactly the kind of thing you want boosters to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fauci says immunity begins to rebound within days after getting a booster shot, though you don’t get the peak of protection for two to four weeks later. He says before joining indoor holiday gatherings, especially in places with high viral transmission, “I would recommend if you are eligible for a boost, go get boosted right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11890031/where-can-i-get-a-pfizer-covid-booster-shot-near-me-heres-whos-eligible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Where Can I Get a Moderna, Johnson & Johnson or Pfizer COVID Booster Shot Near Me?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"tests\">\u003c/a>Rapid tests can protect your guests. Here’s how to know when to take one\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As a risk-reduction measure, you might want to ask your guests to take a COVID test before a large holiday get-together. A year ago, it was hard to get real-time information from COVID testing due to delays in test results and a lack of rapid test options. Now, there are plenty of over-the-counter rapid antigen tests, such as the Abbott BinaxNOW or Orasure InteliSwab, available online and in pharmacies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A rapid antigen test is an added layer of protection for everyone,” says Guzman-Cottrill, the pediatric infectious disease expert at Oregon Health and Science University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The antigen tests are a quick snapshot to see if the viral proteins are present in that person’s nose that day,” Guzman-Cottrill explains. So if a person was just exposed and the virus is still incubating, they could get a negative result one day followed by a positive result the next day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tests are not 100% reliable if someone has just been exposed, agrees Emily Landon, the infectious disease physician at the University of Chicago. “The test really doesn’t pick up really low levels of the virus in your nose, and so it’s not going to pick up a really early infection,” she says. So she recommends taking the test the morning of the gathering, or as close to the start of the gathering as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some families test before they travel, and then again when they get to their destination, depending on the level of risk of the people they’re staying with. (Note: Depending on which test you buy, instructions vary. For instance, \u003ca href=\"https://www.fda.gov/media/147253/download\">BinaxNOW instructs\u003c/a> that people should be tested twice over three days with at least 24 hours between tests for most accurate results.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>William Miller of The Ohio State University College of Public Health is on board with a test-to-be-safe strategy, too. “It’s kind of a mindset,” Miller says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a way to signal: Let’s make the visit as safe as it can be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2021 \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting from KQED’s Alex Gonzalez, Brian Watt, Carly Severn and Lina Blanco.

Being firm and specific in what you will and will not do is great, Feldman says, but don’t let that stop you from “expressing [your] sadness and regret,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"unvaccinated\">\u003c/a>Think carefully about how to include unvaccinated family members\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Deciding whom to invite to your home is a matter of personal discretion, but experts say at this point in the pandemic it’s pretty clear that a fully vaccinated group is the safest scenario.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s reasonable for people to require their guests to be immunized,” says \u003ca href=\"https://www.ohsu.edu/providers/judith-a-guzman-cottrill-do\">Judy Guzman-Cottrill\u003c/a>, a pediatric infectious disease expert at Oregon Health and Science University, especially if guests include kids too young to be vaccinated (or who have only received their first shot) or people less likely to have a strong immune response to the vaccine, like the immunocompromised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are the people who we still really need to make sure we keep as safe as possible because this pandemic is not over,” she adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A vaccine requirement could lead to some hurt feelings or conflict, but physician and public health epidemiologist William Miller of The Ohio State University suggests framing the decision as a way to protect older loved ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really do think that it’s perfectly acceptable to say, ‘I’m sorry you’re not vaccinated. You know, Grandma’s here, and by you coming, that increases her risk substantially,'” Miller says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An alternative is to ask an unvaccinated guest to do a lab-based PCR test 24 to 48 hours before the event (as long as they’re able to get the results back in time) or a rapid antigen COVID test just before their arrival. In addition, Emily Landon, an infectious disease physician at the University of Chicago, recommends asking unvaccinated guests to take extra precautions in the week leading up to the event, including wearing masks in public places and limiting exposure to other unvaccinated people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think with the delta variant, most people are getting sick a few days after exposure, but it can take up to a week, maybe a little longer,” Landon explains. “I think it makes the most sense to take precautions for one week prior to having close, unmasked contact with someone who’s at high risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"kids\">\u003c/a>Take precautions if your young child is unvaccinated or has had only one shot\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Many children age 5 to 11 have received their first of two recommended doses, but won’t be eligible for a second dose until after the Thanksgiving holiday. Immunity builds gradually after vaccination, but it’s not known exactly how much protection just one dose of the COVID vaccine provides to kids, says Guzman-Cottrill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know many families find themselves in this annoying state of limbo right now because their kids will not be fully vaccinated by Thanksgiving,” she says. Given this “limbo” state, “it’s really important to just keep in mind that this is not the time for those families to let their guard down,” she says. It’s not a reason to cancel multigenerational gatherings, but it’s a reminder to take precautions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carpiano says that caregivers should do risk management of sorts and be prepared to bring masks and buy home tests you can take the day of arriving at someone’s house. “What we’re finding right now with testing is that these home tests can be really quite effective in [detecting] if an immediate or recent sort of infection has occurred,” he says. While these home tests might be a little hard to find, they are available at many local drugstores.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It depends on the health and age of the relatives who will be attending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Grandma is a spry 70-year-old woman who has no medical problems and has two doses of vaccine plus a booster, I don’t think these kids are going to pose a ton of risk,” Landon says. But if the grandparent is over 80 and has medical problems, the risk of a bad outcome is much higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An easy step to take if you’re concerned about your unvaccinated kids passing the virus to grandparents is to mask up, not only during the visit, but also for a week in advance when in public, especially avoiding crowded, indoor spaces, even if mask mandates are not in effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she would not recommend keeping kids out of school to avoid exposure unless there are extra risks associated with your kids’ school — such as an outbreak of cases or a lack of masking. If the circumstances warrant missing school to protect a high-risk relative, “then that may be a layer you want to add,” Landon says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another option: If you live in a temperate climate, like many parts of the Bay Area, stay outdoors as much as possible for mixed-generation social events, and maybe choose to not sleep over in the same house with the grandparents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just come during the day for the big event and stay at a hotel,” Landon suggests. Or have the grandparents sleep in a hotel, she adds. If a hotel is not financially possible, you might consider asking friends or neighbors if their home is empty over the holiday season and available for you to use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line: “You have to think about the risk of the individuals involved — about what would happen if they got COVID,” says Landon. And better to err on the side of caution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11894546/pfizer-covid-vaccine-kids-5-11-near-me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Where Can I Get a Pfizer COVID Vaccine for Kids Age 5-11 Near Me?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>If you’re gathering with grandparents or other older people, realize this: They’re still at risk\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Reality check: \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/10/20/1047727415/what-to-know-about-the-risk-of-serious-or-fatal-breakthrough-covid-infections\">People over 80 have an elevated risk of dying from COVID\u003c/a>, even if they’re vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the vaccines offer strong protection against hospitalization and death, breakthrough infections are a reality. Often, a coronavirus infection following vaccination leads to only mild illness, and sometimes people test positive but show no symptoms at all. However, older people and those with compromised immune systems are at higher risk of getting a severe breakthrough COVID case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though it’s rare for breakthroughs to lead to hospitalization or death, the chances for one group are higher. As NPR reported, CDC data from August showed that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/10/20/1047727415/what-to-know-about-the-risk-of-serious-or-fatal-breakthrough-covid-infections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fully vaccinated people age 80 or older were about 13 times more likely to die from COVID\u003c/a> compared to the general vaccinated population (of all ages). That’s one reason \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11890031/where-can-i-get-a-pfizer-covid-booster-shot-near-me-heres-whos-eligible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">getting boosters is especially important\u003c/a> for older adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is something that we must be conscious of as people are gathering across generations,” Miller says. “Grandpa and Grandma are protected relative to if they hadn’t been vaccinated, but they are still at risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why it makes sense to take precautions during travel and in the week leading up to any celebration where older friends and relatives will be present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would absolutely encourage people to continue to wear masks” in crowded, indoor places such as grocery stores, Miller says, even if it’s not mandatory. This will reduce the risk of being exposed and passing on the virus. And remember, the\u003ca href=\"https://www.tsa.gov/news/press/releases/2021/08/20/tsa-extends-face-mask-requirement-through-january-18-2022\"> Transportation Security Administration’s face mask requirement\u003c/a> remains in effect through Jan. 18, 2022, requiring masking in airports, aboard commercial airline flights, and on commuter bus and rail systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, bottom line, even if everyone invited to your holiday gathering is vaccinated, it’s still important to protect loved ones who are older or immunocompromised.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Get a booster shot if you’re eligible\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Federal health agencies now recommend \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/11/19/1057280974/cdc-advisers-back-expansion-of-covid-boosters-for-all-adults\">COVID vaccine boosters for all adults\u003c/a> six months after their last shot — and they may be especially important for adults over 50 or any adult with underlying conditions or a high-risk job. Getting one before holiday travel and gatherings could increase your immunity against COVID.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agencies’ decision was based on emerging evidence that immunity can diminish over time and evidence that shows a booster dose can, just as the name implies, boost protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.11.15.21266341v1\">most recent real-world data\u003c/a> comes from the U.K. Back in September, the U.K. government introduced a booster program targeting people 50 and older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Anthony Fauci, White House medical adviser and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the new analysis points to a significant increase in protection (against symptomatic infection) from a booster dose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the third dose in people whose protection has drifted down to about 63%, you boost it back up to at least 94%, which is really quite impressive,” Fauci says. “That’s exactly the kind of thing you want boosters to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fauci says immunity begins to rebound within days after getting a booster shot, though you don’t get the peak of protection for two to four weeks later. He says before joining indoor holiday gatherings, especially in places with high viral transmission, “I would recommend if you are eligible for a boost, go get boosted right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11890031/where-can-i-get-a-pfizer-covid-booster-shot-near-me-heres-whos-eligible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Where Can I Get a Moderna, Johnson & Johnson or Pfizer COVID Booster Shot Near Me?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"tests\">\u003c/a>Rapid tests can protect your guests. Here’s how to know when to take one\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As a risk-reduction measure, you might want to ask your guests to take a COVID test before a large holiday get-together. A year ago, it was hard to get real-time information from COVID testing due to delays in test results and a lack of rapid test options. Now, there are plenty of over-the-counter rapid antigen tests, such as the Abbott BinaxNOW or Orasure InteliSwab, available online and in pharmacies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A rapid antigen test is an added layer of protection for everyone,” says Guzman-Cottrill, the pediatric infectious disease expert at Oregon Health and Science University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The antigen tests are a quick snapshot to see if the viral proteins are present in that person’s nose that day,” Guzman-Cottrill explains. So if a person was just exposed and the virus is still incubating, they could get a negative result one day followed by a positive result the next day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tests are not 100% reliable if someone has just been exposed, agrees Emily Landon, the infectious disease physician at the University of Chicago. “The test really doesn’t pick up really low levels of the virus in your nose, and so it’s not going to pick up a really early infection,” she says. So she recommends taking the test the morning of the gathering, or as close to the start of the gathering as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some families test before they travel, and then again when they get to their destination, depending on the level of risk of the people they’re staying with. (Note: Depending on which test you buy, instructions vary. For instance, \u003ca href=\"https://www.fda.gov/media/147253/download\">BinaxNOW instructs\u003c/a> that people should be tested twice over three days with at least 24 hours between tests for most accurate results.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>William Miller of The Ohio State University College of Public Health is on board with a test-to-be-safe strategy, too. “It’s kind of a mindset,” Miller says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a way to signal: Let’s make the visit as safe as it can be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2021 \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting from KQED’s Alex Gonzalez, Brian Watt, Carly Severn and Lina Blanco.

Of California's 58 counties, the ones with the highest rates are nearly all rural and have lower vaccination rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno County, an agricultural powerhouse of nearly 1 million people located in the Central Valley, is the most populated county among those in the top 10 for infections per 100,000 people. Los Angeles County, with its more than 10 million residents making up about a quarter of the state's population, has an infection rate that falls in the bottom third.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles became the nation's epicenter for the outbreak last winter when California saw its worst surge. Things got so bad that the National Guard had to bring in refrigerated trucks to store bodies at overwhelmed hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all of that happened before a coronavirus vaccine was available. Now, more than 75% of people 5 and older in California have gotten at least one dose. For adults 18 and older, more than 91% have received at least one dose. Nearly 5 million people have gotten a booster shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom continued to urge parents to get their children vaccinated. While speaking to reporters at the vaccine clinic he was interrupted by a child crying after receiving a shot. He joked that scene wouldn't lead a public service announcement \"but it is a very human moment.\" He then turned to applaud the child.\u003cbr>\nCalifornia plans to require all students in public and private schools to receive the coronavirus vaccine as a requirement for attending in-person classes. But that mandate won't take effect until the federal government gives final approval to the vaccine for children 5 and older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, California requires all public school staff and students to wear masks while indoors. Newsom said state officials might lift that rule once more children are vaccinated.\u003cbr>\n\"The virus will dictate those terms,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If you’re one of them, you might be wondering: How does the COVID-19 pandemic change being a food bank volunteer this year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Mike Altfest, director of community engagement at the Alameda County Community Food Bank\"]‘The pandemic has brought levels of food insecurity — and the work that food banks are doing — to unprecedented levels before the holidays even hit’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing’s for sure: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11847203/food-banks-in-the-bay-area-how-to-find-and-support-your-local-facility\">Demand for the support that food banks and dining halls offer has soared\u003c/a>. The holidays are consistently a busy period for food banks and dining halls anyway, often caused by the strain on people’s finances that winter bills for gas and heating bring — combined with school being out and kids not receiving meals there. But during the COVID-19 pandemic the need for these services has skyrocketed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The pandemic has brought levels of food insecurity — and the work that food banks are doing — to unprecedented levels before the holidays even hit,” says Mike Altfest, director of community engagement at the Alameda County Community Food Bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So whether or not you’ve supported your local food bank or dining hall with volunteer hours in previous years, how might things be different if you want to offer your time this holiday season? Read on for our tips — and\u003cstrong> \u003ca href=\"#list\">click here for a list of local organizations to support\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>You Might Not Be Able to Volunteer in Person …\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you associate in-person volunteering during the holidays with taking a shift serving meals in a dining hall, be prepared for those types of opportunities to be slim — or unavailable altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a dining hall, GLIDE has traditionally relied heavily on volunteers to come help serve its meals in person, says their Deputy Director of Programs Lillian Mark. But during the pandemic, she says, the organization’s ability to take on volunteers has been a true “ebb and flow”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GLIDE welcomed new volunteers for Thanksgiving, but isn’t doing so during the December holidays because of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11851396/entire-bay-area-region-now-subject-to-strict-stay-at-home-order\">new regional stay-at-home order\u003c/a> — and your local organization might be experiencing the same changing circumstances. The best way of finding out is by visiting their website or giving them a call directly. \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#list\">Find our list of local food banks and dining halls here\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you’re wondering if volunteering at a food bank is still permitted under the Bay Area’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11851396/entire-bay-area-region-now-subject-to-strict-stay-at-home-order\">regional stay-at-home order\u003c/a>, the answer is yes: these organizations are considered essential, “as are volunteers who support us,” says Alameda County Community Food Bank’s Altfest.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>… and if You Do, It’ll Look Different\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>For one thing, there’ll probably be far fewer volunteers on-site at the organization.

The holidays are consistently a busy period for food banks and dining halls anyway, often caused by the strain on people’s finances that winter bills for gas and heating bring — combined with school being out and kids not receiving meals there. But during the COVID-19 pandemic the need for these services has skyrocketed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The pandemic has brought levels of food insecurity — and the work that food banks are doing — to unprecedented levels before the holidays even hit,” says Mike Altfest, director of community engagement at the Alameda County Community Food Bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So whether or not you’ve supported your local food bank or dining hall with volunteer hours in previous years, how might things be different if you want to offer your time this holiday season?

But during the pandemic, she says, the organization’s ability to take on volunteers has been a true “ebb and flow”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GLIDE welcomed new volunteers for Thanksgiving, but isn’t doing so during the December holidays because of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11851396/entire-bay-area-region-now-subject-to-strict-stay-at-home-order\">new regional stay-at-home order\u003c/a> — and your local organization might be experiencing the same changing circumstances.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated Dec. 1 at 11:30 a.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic raises a person's risk of contracting — or spreading — the coronavirus. Gathering in groups with other households, especially indoors, does just the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Put these two facts together and it's clear: Even when following all advised precautions, traveling to visit your family for the holidays carries undeniable risk factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/11/19/936715870/dont-travel-for-thanksgiving-cdc-warns\"> recommended that people stay home for Thanksgiving\u003c/a> last month. In California, nonessential travel outside of the state was already strongly discouraged by Gov. Gavin Newsom's \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11847404/newsom-urges-against-out-of-state-travel-advises-quarantine-for-those-who-do\">travel advisory\u003c/a> issued before Thanksgiving, which continues to ask people to self-quarantine for 14 days after arriving from another state or country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This state guidance comes on the heels of \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/press-releases/2020/1109-ABAHO-Holiday-Recommendations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recommendations\u003c/a> that were recently released by the nine Bay Area counties plus the city of Berkeley around travel, with the holidays specifically in mind. The guidance states that \"nonessential travel, including holiday travel, is not recommended. Traveling outside the Bay Area will increase your chance of getting infected and spreading the virus to others after your return.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it's no surprise that many people chose to forgo Thanksgiving with their families and friends altogether, and are planning on doing the same for Hanukkah, Christmas or Kwanzaa during the pandemic. But how can you have that tricky conversation with loved ones without creating a rift, or unduly hurting someone's feelings?\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1970886/visiting-family-over-the-holidays-heres-how-to-lower-your-risk-for-covid-19\">Determined to visit family or friends for the holidays after all? Get prep tips and harm reduction guidance from experts\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Remember: This Is \u003cem>Always\u003c/em> Your Choice\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Let’s get this out of the way: Even in a holiday season without a pandemic to consider, your movements and actions regarding an event like Thanksgiving are always yours to decide. Regardless of what others — family, friends, strangers — may think, your time and your personal space are completely and utterly your business and yours to direct as you see fit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"science_1970886\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/35/2020/11/GettyImages-1214738416-1020x682.jpg\"]There are many reasons why a person might not welcome visiting with family over the holidays. Money issues around travel, scarcity of vacation time, simmering family drama, tension with relatives over core beliefs or their failure to respect your identity, your lifestyle or your boundaries, a lack of desire to mark certain holidays or just \u003cem>wanting to sit your behind at home instead;\u003c/em> these are all 100% valid reasons to forgo a family gathering — pandemic or no pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet in the most communicative of family dynamics, telling loved ones that you won’t be joining their gathering is still no picnic. As a teacher and sex educator in the Bay Area, \u003ca href=\"https://www.givingthetalk.com/\">Julia Feldman\u003c/a> advises on navigating delicate, difficult conversations when it comes to health and harm reduction. She's previously shared her advice for clear, respectful communication around \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11825738/negotiating-safe-socializing-has-a-lot-in-common-with-negotiating-safe-sex\">socializing\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11826988/sex-and-dating-during-coronavirus-from-masks-to-kissing-a-guide-to-your-risks\">dating during the pandemic\u003c/a>, and \"COVID Thanksgiving\" was a subject particularly close to Feldman's heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because she herself made the decision to decline a wider family Thanksgiving this year because of the pandemic and the need to preserve her own family's \"pod.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We kept trying to find a way to make it work,\" Feldman said. \"And at a certain point realized that like a lot of things this year, we just need to approach things differently.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why \u003cem>does\u003c/em> it feel so much tougher declining an invitation to a family holiday gathering than, say, a party or a birthday?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lot of sentimentality, and a lot of history and a lot of tradition there,\" Feldman explains. \"And so it's a lot for people to let go of.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Be Firm, But Lead With Feelings\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When navigating a difficult conversation, or delivering \"bad news,\" there can sometimes be a temptation to stay extra-firm and resolute in your communication — in case the recipient interprets any hesitation as a cause for hope that you haven't \u003cem>really\u003c/em> made up your mind. Being firm in what we can and cannot do is great, Feldman says, but don't let that stop you from \"expressing [your] sadness and regret,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11836745\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/open-road-1-1038x576.jpg\"]Many of us are taught that to effectively traverse tough talks, we need to be \"very decisive, and and maybe even kind of emotionless or unemotional about it,\" Feldman says. But rather than shying away from emotion in such a discussion, it's actually better to embrace it, and in this case, \"express our genuine sadness.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of her own Thanksgiving situation, Feldman says, \"I needed to be able to tell my family 'I really wish we could be with you, and it's really hard for us that we can't.' \" Being honest about the difficulty of the decision \u003cem>and\u003c/em> the pain it's causing — for you and for your family — is the best way to ask for and hopefully achieve some understanding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, you're making this decision to reduce your family's risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19, and it's your way of keeping them safe from harm. \"That is an ultimate act of care and we need to focus on that,\" Feldman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Acknowledge That This Sucks ...\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Addressing the pain your decision may cause can be productive — and so can acknowledging the magnitude of it, and how disappointing it is. Over these last eight months, the pandemic has forced many people to cancel dearly anticipated plans and forgo contact with loved ones. Rather than minimizing the impact of your decision and the disruption caused by the virus that led you to \u003cem>make\u003c/em> it, make it clear, advises Feldman, that this is nobody's ideal, and, frankly, it sucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It perhaps becomes even harder to make and stick to a decision like this because of a collective fatigue with the pandemic and its pernicious ability to alter seemingly every plan in our lives. And yes, it's tempting to throw your hands up in the air and soften those boundaries you might have firmly held at the beginning of shelter-in-place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staying strong is tough, but \u003cem>you\u003c/em> know why you're doing this: to keep your loved ones safe. Pretending it's not a big deal isn't being truthful, and you — and your family — are \u003cem>allowed\u003c/em> to be saddened, frustrated or downright pissed off about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we deny that,\" Feldman says, \"there's going to be a lot of pent-up resentment and sadness and miscommunication later on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11846886\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11846886\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/pexels-breakingpic-3056.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/pexels-breakingpic-3056.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/pexels-breakingpic-3056-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/pexels-breakingpic-3056-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/pexels-breakingpic-3056-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/pexels-breakingpic-3056-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Changing plans for the holidays because of the COVID-19 pandemic can result in difficult conversations with loved ones. \u003ccite>(Ketut Subiyanto/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>... But Make Your New Plans Clear\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>During difficult discussions, you might find that family members are holding out hope you'll change your mind — whether they articulate that or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communicating that you have new plans for the holidays can greatly aid your kind-but-clear efforts to let folks know you're not changing your mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Feldman, ordering her own turkey for her different Thanksgiving this year was a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For me, that was kind of like a decisive move,\" she says, and one which she actually found helpful to communicate to her family. To introduce this conversation, Feldman says a helpful phrase might be: \"I've decided to make other plans so that I can feel like I'm celebrating this holiday.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, you can keep it real with your family, and convey the strangeness or jarring nature of your new plans to sustain that crucial emotional honesty: \"This is what I'm going to do this year, and it feels right in the context of this crazy world that's going on right now,\" suggests Feldman. You don't have to convey that you're thrilled with your new plans — only that you \u003cem>have\u003c/em> them, and you're sticking to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What if Your Family Downplays COVID-19?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If your family — incorrectly — believes that the pandemic isn't \"that big a deal,\" or doesn't think it's enough reason to forgo the usual holiday gatherings, that's undeniably a tough situation to navigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trying to \"convince\" your loved ones of the pandemic's devastating seriousness by sending them statistics and literature probably isn't going to change their minds at this point, Feldman says. So, what can you do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You just really have to come from an emotional place of being honest,\" Feldman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Be clear with your family that the travel process alone puts both you and them at a heightened risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19 — and that regardless of their feelings about that, you're personally committed to your responsibility to keep your family safe. Be honest that you know the decision could cause some hurt, but because your priority is their safety, \"you're still acting from a place of love, and that's going to have to guide you,\" Feldman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is, after all, your way of showing your care for the people you love.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What if It's Friends, Not Family?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Because of the variance between family dynamic and friend/peer dynamics, declining to gather with friends for a holiday celebration will be quite a different conversation to have. In some cases, it might feel even \u003cem>harder\u003c/em> to inform your best friend than your family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our friendships can be complex in origin, form and dynamics, so emotions between peers can be highly mixed — and can quickly get fraught. Friends can also have very different expectations from each other, Feldman says: \"So I could imagine that a friend could feel like you have a sense of loyalty, or maybe a sense of responsibility, or maybe that you respect them and trust them,\" in a way that you \u003cem>don't\u003c/em> necessarily trust your relatives. Which might make hearing your decision even tougher for a pal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Julia Feldman\"]'[L]et's focus on being thankful for what we have ... And not be reckless now, at the expense of of all the things we're thankful for, or at the expense of loved ones.'[/pullquote]Feldman recommends that you navigate holiday discussions with the same honesty, frankness and emotional openness that you'd bring to your family. If it's breaking your heart that you can't celebrate with your friend, tell them that — and propose any ideas you might have for how to meet virtually or at a distance outside instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One extra element to remember where friends are concerned: Make sure that they know that you trust and respect them, especially when it comes to their conduct around COVID-19. When you decline a holiday gathering, bear in mind that many folks can — even unconsciously — infer moral judgments around socializing during the pandemic. They might think that you don't feel comfortable gathering with \u003cem>them\u003c/em>, because of how they've been behaving during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lot of reading into this that people can do,\" Feldman says, \"that somehow you're suggesting that people aren't being careful, or being safe, because you're not going to celebrate with them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you sense that a friend suspects you're declining their holiday gathering because you don't trust them, be sure to reassure them — and bring it back to the big picture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It has nothing to do about someone being 'safe' or 'careful,' \" Feldman says. \"Our priority is to make sure that everyone that we want to celebrate with next year is going to be alive, and healthy, and well, and able to do that. And this year, we're making a lot of sacrifices. We've got bigger goals here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[L]et's really focus on being thankful for what we have and thankful for the future that we can have,\" Feldman says. \"And not be reckless now, at the expense of of all the things we're thankful for, or at the expense of loved ones.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Gathering in groups with other households, especially indoors, does just the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Put these two facts together and it's clear: Even when following all advised precautions, traveling to visit your family for the holidays carries undeniable risk factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/11/19/936715870/dont-travel-for-thanksgiving-cdc-warns\"> recommended that people stay home for Thanksgiving\u003c/a> last month. In California, nonessential travel outside of the state was already strongly discouraged by Gov. Gavin Newsom's \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11847404/newsom-urges-against-out-of-state-travel-advises-quarantine-for-those-who-do\">travel advisory\u003c/a> issued before Thanksgiving, which continues to ask people to self-quarantine for 14 days after arriving from another state or country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This state guidance comes on the heels of \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/press-releases/2020/1109-ABAHO-Holiday-Recommendations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recommendations\u003c/a> that were recently released by the nine Bay Area counties plus the city of Berkeley around travel, with the holidays specifically in mind. The guidance states that \"nonessential travel, including holiday travel, is not recommended. Traveling outside the Bay Area will increase your chance of getting infected and spreading the virus to others after your return.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it's no surprise that many people chose to forgo Thanksgiving with their families and friends altogether, and are planning on doing the same for Hanukkah, Christmas or Kwanzaa during the pandemic. But how can you have that tricky conversation with loved ones without creating a rift, or unduly hurting someone's feelings?\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1970886/visiting-family-over-the-holidays-heres-how-to-lower-your-risk-for-covid-19\">Determined to visit family or friends for the holidays after all?

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>There are many reasons why a person might not welcome visiting with family over the holidays. Money issues around travel, scarcity of vacation time, simmering family drama, tension with relatives over core beliefs or their failure to respect your identity, your lifestyle or your boundaries, a lack of desire to mark certain holidays or just \u003cem>wanting to sit your behind at home instead;\u003c/em> these are all 100% valid reasons to forgo a family gathering — pandemic or no pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet in the most communicative of family dynamics, telling loved ones that you won’t be joining their gathering is still no picnic. As a teacher and sex educator in the Bay Area, \u003ca href=\"https://www.givingthetalk.com/\">Julia Feldman\u003c/a> advises on navigating delicate, difficult conversations when it comes to health and harm reduction. She's previously shared her advice for clear, respectful communication around \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11825738/negotiating-safe-socializing-has-a-lot-in-common-with-negotiating-safe-sex\">socializing\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11826988/sex-and-dating-during-coronavirus-from-masks-to-kissing-a-guide-to-your-risks\">dating during the pandemic\u003c/a>, and \"COVID Thanksgiving\" was a subject particularly close to Feldman's heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because she herself made the decision to decline a wider family Thanksgiving this year because of the pandemic and the need to preserve her own family's \"pod.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We kept trying to find a way to make it work,\" Feldman said. \"And at a certain point realized that like a lot of things this year, we just need to approach things differently.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why \u003cem>does\u003c/em> it feel so much tougher declining an invitation to a family holiday gathering than, say, a party or a birthday?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lot of sentimentality, and a lot of history and a lot of tradition there,\" Feldman explains. \"And so it's a lot for people to let go of.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Be Firm, But Lead With Feelings\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When navigating a difficult conversation, or delivering \"bad news,\" there can sometimes be a temptation to stay extra-firm and resolute in your communication — in case the recipient interprets any hesitation as a cause for hope that you haven't \u003cem>really\u003c/em> made up your mind. Being firm in what we can and cannot do is great, Feldman says, but don't let that stop you from \"expressing [your] sadness and regret,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Many of us are taught that to effectively traverse tough talks, we need to be \"very decisive, and and maybe even kind of emotionless or unemotional about it,\" Feldman says. But rather than shying away from emotion in such a discussion, it's actually better to embrace it, and in this case, \"express our genuine sadness.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of her own Thanksgiving situation, Feldman says, \"I needed to be able to tell my family 'I really wish we could be with you, and it's really hard for us that we can't.' \" Being honest about the difficulty of the decision \u003cem>and\u003c/em> the pain it's causing — for you and for your family — is the best way to ask for and hopefully achieve some understanding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, you're making this decision to reduce your family's risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19, and it's your way of keeping them safe from harm. \"That is an ultimate act of care and we need to focus on that,\" Feldman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Acknowledge That This Sucks ...\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Addressing the pain your decision may cause can be productive — and so can acknowledging the magnitude of it, and how disappointing it is. Over these last eight months, the pandemic has forced many people to cancel dearly anticipated plans and forgo contact with loved ones. Rather than minimizing the impact of your decision and the disruption caused by the virus that led you to \u003cem>make\u003c/em> it, make it clear, advises Feldman, that this is nobody's ideal, and, frankly, it sucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It perhaps becomes even harder to make and stick to a decision like this because of a collective fatigue with the pandemic and its pernicious ability to alter seemingly every plan in our lives. And yes, it's tempting to throw your hands up in the air and soften those boundaries you might have firmly held at the beginning of shelter-in-place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staying strong is tough, but \u003cem>you\u003c/em> know why you're doing this: to keep your loved ones safe. Pretending it's not a big deal isn't being truthful, and you — and your family — are \u003cem>allowed\u003c/em> to be saddened, frustrated or downright pissed off about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we deny that,\" Feldman says, \"there's going to be a lot of pent-up resentment and sadness and miscommunication later on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11846886\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11846886\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/pexels-breakingpic-3056.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/pexels-breakingpic-3056.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/pexels-breakingpic-3056-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/pexels-breakingpic-3056-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/pexels-breakingpic-3056-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/pexels-breakingpic-3056-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Changing plans for the holidays because of the COVID-19 pandemic can result in difficult conversations with loved ones. \u003ccite>(Ketut Subiyanto/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>... But Make Your New Plans Clear\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>During difficult discussions, you might find that family members are holding out hope you'll change your mind — whether they articulate that or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communicating that you have new plans for the holidays can greatly aid your kind-but-clear efforts to let folks know you're not changing your mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Feldman, ordering her own turkey for her different Thanksgiving this year was a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For me, that was kind of like a decisive move,\" she says, and one which she actually found helpful to communicate to her family. To introduce this conversation, Feldman says a helpful phrase might be: \"I've decided to make other plans so that I can feel like I'm celebrating this holiday.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, you can keep it real with your family, and convey the strangeness or jarring nature of your new plans to sustain that crucial emotional honesty: \"This is what I'm going to do this year, and it feels right in the context of this crazy world that's going on right now,\" suggests Feldman. You don't have to convey that you're thrilled with your new plans — only that you \u003cem>have\u003c/em> them, and you're sticking to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What if Your Family Downplays COVID-19?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If your family — incorrectly — believes that the pandemic isn't \"that big a deal,\" or doesn't think it's enough reason to forgo the usual holiday gatherings, that's undeniably a tough situation to navigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trying to \"convince\" your loved ones of the pandemic's devastating seriousness by sending them statistics and literature probably isn't going to change their minds at this point, Feldman says. So, what can you do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You just really have to come from an emotional place of being honest,\" Feldman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Be clear with your family that the travel process alone puts both you and them at a heightened risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19 — and that regardless of their feelings about that, you're personally committed to your responsibility to keep your family safe. Be honest that you know the decision could cause some hurt, but because your priority is their safety, \"you're still acting from a place of love, and that's going to have to guide you,\" Feldman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is, after all, your way of showing your care for the people you love.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What if It's Friends, Not Family?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Because of the variance between family dynamic and friend/peer dynamics, declining to gather with friends for a holiday celebration will be quite a different conversation to have. In some cases, it might feel even \u003cem>harder\u003c/em> to inform your best friend than your family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our friendships can be complex in origin, form and dynamics, so emotions between peers can be highly mixed — and can quickly get fraught. Friends can also have very different expectations from each other, Feldman says: \"So I could imagine that a friend could feel like you have a sense of loyalty, or maybe a sense of responsibility, or maybe that you respect them and trust them,\" in a way that you \u003cem>don't\u003c/em> necessarily trust your relatives. Which might make hearing your decision even tougher for a pal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
