To party or not?

LuccaI was at hospital a while back.
Only two people were allowed in the large lifts, signs were very visible.
I got in the lift on my own, mask on, of course.
Just as the doors were closing, a family of three (sans masks) marched into the (^my^) lift.
I walked out, and as I did, they gave me a right dirty look!

Slightly off topic but can you believe this, my bloke was having a coffee and sandwich sitting at an outside table the other day when two women came and asked if they could sit at his table ……they seemed very surprised when he said no, it would be too close.

Good!
I’m very pleased for you, I would have been worried sick.

Thank you for your comments,with which I totally agree. It is my husband's party and he was unconvinced. Now with relief,it's cancelled.

No, I’m afraid I wouldn’t at the moment. I’d deliver a card and gift to the house in the morning and not attend the party later in the day.

And another definite no from me , far too risky !

Bella I would regard this whole year as your special birthday year and rebook your party for later on in the year.

No, I wouldn’t go to any party, wait a year.

Postpone it and have it midsummer. You’ll be 70 for 365 days. Celebrate when everyone can join in.

And a no from me too but have a happy birthday anyway.

No from me too.
Unanimous on GN!!
Quite rare isn’t it??

Absolutely not.

I think it would be a very unwise decision to go ahead.

No.

Our monthly craft group meeting, which should have been tonight, was cancelled even though we are all sat for three hours and only mingle during the tea/coffee break. It usually has about 40 attending. We cancelled the one last month and that was the Christmas one.

It's a no from me too I'm afraid

No, sorry. Hold it over until the spring. Things will get better.

Sorry - another No - already turned down a Christmas party with C 50 invited. Yet to find out if it happen or how many attended.

No, no and thrice no.

Erm ... I didn’t mean they were 3’ tall. ?

I’d hang fire. I’m happy to be out & about in bars/restaurants at present but they have small attendees socially distanced.

We are attending a family funeral on Thursday. Himself reminded me earlier today ‘no hugs and kisses’. Sad, as I haven’t seen some of these people in ever such a long time, but sensible.

BellaB NO!! Have you seen the latest rocketing infection figures? A party would be a super-spreader event!!

Only if I wanted Covid. Apparent 1 person in 25 is infected so it's your opportunity to host a super spreader event.

Agree with Chestnut and hang fire on a decision if that's possible. The numbers may reduce considerably to within your feel safe level. Good luck!

No, on another note and just with Gagajo's post. People I know who acquired Covid, were at weddings. It is a shame for people but I think at the moment large numbers of people are not a good idea.

Bellab, NO - we're still in the middle of a pandemic FGS!
