“Millions of Americans are traveling ahead of Christmas and New Year’s, despite pleas from public health experts that they stay home to avoid fueling the raging coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 320,000 nationwide,” the AP reports.

“Many people at airports this week thought long and hard about whether to go somewhere and found a way to rationalize it.”

The U.S. reported 228,000 new cases and 3,359 new deaths yesterday, according to the Wall Street Journal.
