I can’t get on a plane and go to a wedding with Covid right?

[Subway]

Still cranking out antigens over here, 8 days into this dance. Flights in 4 days, wedding in 6. Oh and it’s my 76 year old unvaccinated mother (allergies not an anti vaxxer) marrying her 84 year old boyfriend. That’s a game of Russian roulette we can in no conscience play, right? I mean, even if I got a negative tomorrow or Tuesday, I’d still be a nervous wreck. And in this current surge, say we go down there and several guests get sick (they’ll be 90% senior citizens) and it wasn’t my fault but how would we ever know?
I’m leaning towards “if I’m even asking myself, then I already know the answer.”

His and hers antigen tests. 10 am Sunday 5/29

I vote no. Do NOT go.

And I would view this as a gift from God.

 

[Subway]

Yeah. I think I essentially need all the reassurance I can get that it’s the right and prudent decision, which will offset the guilt at missing my mothers wedding.
My little cousin is AV savvy I’ll have him webcast it

 

[racer1]

I wouldn’t. small upside, big downside.

 

[kelpcutter]

Stay home. Not worth the risk.

 

[enframed]

I would skip it. I assume she would understand, and appreciate your not attending.

It depends, how much do you like your mom?

 

[Subway]

She can be a bit much but that’s where I get it from
Bills a keeper though. 84 going on 65. Solid man and very kind. Makes killer ganja brownies which is amazing because he did NOT grow up in that generation.

He said depends...

Also, when have several um, strong willed and opinionated posters all agreed so quickly and so thoroughly? Has that ever even happened? That’s probably all the sign I need.

And I guess the guidelines still say to be cautious after 5 days after a negative test. Even if those strips came back negative we would still be cutting a fine line flying this Thursday

My vote: don't go.
Recently we returned from a fabulous trip to Kauai with the unwelcome gift of COVID. While symptoms were mild, hubby continued testing positive for 14 days, while I was + for 10, which surprised us. Felt fine after five days.

Other than that how was your vacation?

 

[kelpcutter]

Wife's coworker recently tested positive on trip to Europe and had to delay return. Tested negative, flew home, then tested positive again. You probably want to see more than one negative before exposing your mom.

It's hotter than fckng hell here and the beaches are socked in with slimy sh!t-grass.

you‘d never forgive yourself if they got Covid n really sick or worse. My 90 yr old dad got it twice (yes, vaccinated), hospitalized both times n didnt make it the 2nd time. He had underlying health issues,. He did have a long a$$ awesome life.

 

[flyinraptr]

I think you should sit this one out as well .... if you do decide to go .... i would mask up the entire time.

 

[bonzer5fin]

"hell no, we won't go!"
repeat as needed...

 

[rts265]

Wait for gromsdad to weigh in before you decide

 

[000]

i got covid too, currently

Can't or shouldn't?
Everyone is going everywhere with sicknesses again. Not an opinion meant to influence a decision, just a fact for information. Whatever event you're thinking about, if people are going to it, some people going sick. Life is very much back to normal in that way. "I'm staying out because I have COVID" is the current "I don't want to go" you probably shouldn't go, if you're an "abundance of caution" type. But someone sick is going to be there. When is the last time you were in a room with more than ten people and no one was sniffling or coughing?
Not judging, just observing.
