Since you asked, I believe that deep down inside the OP does not want to go to this event.

I can’t get on a plane and go to a wedding with Covid right?
- Thread starter Subway
- Start date
calculator seems to say if you are still symptomatic you still aren’t even at the 5 day count off day yet. I literally feel no better or worse than I did 10 days ago. Given my moms recent major health issue, and the flying, and all the other stuff, I really don’t want her catching this (or any) version. It’s fine and manageable and annoying for a healthy 43 year old, but she and her friends are mostly twice that age. Not worth the risk nor having even the whisper of doubt if someone does fall severely ill. Flights are cancelled (and all those dollars are in my flight bank to use for a trip to florida to fete the newlyweds once we are Covid free) and I got a full refund for my $900 hotel room on the beach
Nope. We were fullly stocked for this. My guilt is just a deep seated guilt from years and years of letting my parents down when I was a young drunken idiot. I’m now a sober and responsible man making sober and responsible decisions, but there is always that guilty teenaged-subway voice that feels like I’m always letting them down
Well said.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.
… there is one other important factor - the old age of the people he’s going to be around… substitute Flu, or other contagious condition for Covid n you end up w the same “should I stay or should I go“ decision WO the political drama.
A real friend would never invite you to his wedding.
If your recovered and symptom free for the past 5 days it's accepted by the CDC that you are no longer contagious.
Anybody else sick AF but test negative for covid? Have this crud in my chest. Fukcing awful.
early on, a family friend gave it to his 70yr old parents, both were hospitalized for weeks, mother died. Father still has lingering issues. I don’t know how the guy sleeps at night. I would be wracked with guilt.
If you said the party was all healthy 20-30 yr olds, that might be different. But with seniors, NOT worth the risk IMO. People can argue with whatever numbers and data they want, but the reality is each person reacts differently and seniors are much more likely to have more serious symptoms.

We used to joke that we hoped when my dad died, my mom would marry a cool rich dude.
Mom died first.
Mom died first.
Don't forget to have your body composted, other options are not earth friendly.
Well mom is bummed but in 100% agreement.
If we had tested negative on Sunday, and weren’t still very symptomatic, and got another negative before the flight, it wouldn’t be as concerning. But we’re still sitting around in a fog coughing up lung butter and feeling generally chitty, and still lighting up the antigen tests.
no need to go on a Johnny Covid-seed adventure to florida, spreading Covid seed in 2 of the country’s busiest airports, and a weekend surrounded mostly by folks most at risk of serious illness from Covid.

I have a free flight, room in my moms bed next to her, please?
Or, you could just send us some of that flem?
Bitch has taken to gratuitously insulting the only son and daughter in law that would open their home to her.
Trade you moms?
man you have to start 
setting some boundaries
Finally got a negative Antigen test just now, still feel kind of crummy but not as congested, so i figure i'm pretty much done.
5 days from now would the day after the wedding, so, the right decision was made
