Why people fail to quarantine during Christmas | COVID-19 Special

The holiday season is a time to celebrate and to be around loved ones. But this year, everything - from Christmas markets to family gatherings - is having to be scaled back due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Social distancing and other restrictions have left many feeling less than festive. People are breaking with tradition as they change their plans to accommodate restrictions. So what should a good COVID Christmas look like? And is Christmas undermining the fight against the coronavirus pandemic?

when have people failed to quarantine for Christmas? how many Christmases has the world observed since COVID19 became a pandemic? is this a report on conjecture, is this front loading? when did the news media & nations governments obtain a time machine to see the future? how much money is being transferred to the share holders?

#askderrick if you have been infected with covid-19 (and you are untested) and you take the vaccine, how does it affect? You get better sooner/ doesn't affect/ you get more severe outcome?
