During  his Thanksgiving proclamation, Trump suggested that Americans gather for the holidays:

I encourage all Americans to gather, in homes and places of worship, to offer a prayer of thanks to God for our many blessings.

Senior Trump officials also echoed the sentiment, despite it being contrary to the advice of the CDC. Most notably, senior COVID-19 advisor Dr. Scott Atlas suggested that in-person celebrations of Thanksgiving be held with elderly family members, as it may be “their final Thanksgiving.”

Scott Atlas resigned soon after amid the resulting out roar.

That Thanksgiving, the United States had totaled over 13.3 million cases of COVID-19 and suffered nearly 270,000 deaths.
