Despite his own warnings about traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock boarded a plane to Houston Wednesday, as the Colorado capital sees a record spike in coronavirus cases.
Hancock first boarded a flight to Houston before heading to Mississippi to meet his wife and visit their daughter.
Minutes before his flight, he posted a message on Twitter warning people to “Pass the potatoes, not COVID,” and advised them to “Host virtual gatherings instead of in-person dinners” and “Avoid travel.”
“[A]s the holidays approach, we all long to be with our families in person, but with the continued rise in cases, I’m urging you to refrain from travel this Thanksgiving holiday,” Hancock wrote in an email obtained by 9News. “For my family that means canceling our traditional gathering of our extended family.”
