Washington Post ripped for story on world’s ‘dread’ about Americans celebrating Thanksgiving

About 50 million Americans expected to travel for the holiday this year

The Washington Post drew flak Thursday for a story about the world’s “dread” about Americans’ Thanksgiving celebrations during the coronavirus pandemic.

“As Americans prepare to gather for Thanksgiving, the world watches with dread and disbelief,” the Post tweeted, with a story compiling foreign criticism of U.S. citizens choosing to travel as COVID-19 cases spike nationwide.

Among those quoted was Yap Boum, a Cameroonian epidemiologist who said he found it “really crazy” that Americans would risk the health of themselves and loved ones. The Post reported that international outlets and foreign journalists were “covering Thanksgiving travel in the United States extensively, with a mixture of concern, bewilderment and schadenfreude.”
