Holiday Parties Are Being Canceled as Omicron Variant Looms

Holiday parties are being canceled in droves as COVID-19 surges and the super-infectious Omicron variant begins to take hold. Even the White House is pulling the plug on their annual holiday gathering. This year, small groups of VIPs are being invited to take self-guided tours of first lady Jill Biden’s decorations, with a strict 30-minute time limit. Outbreaks are also hitting colleges hard. Cornell University just declared a “code red” after 900 students tested positive, and closed the campus.
