I agree, and for that reason I have an annual flu vaccine, and had all the required vaccines etc when I was working in West Africa. I still got malaria and amoebic dysentery though, the malaria pills were not effective, and the dysentery wasn’t nice. But I was younger then.Would say you have to do what you feel comfortable with, personally I’ve done everything I can to protect myself and others , vaccinations lockdown rules etc. There has to come a time en I have to get on with life , the cases in Scotland where I live are high , but there is a hell of a lot more testing going on so . as someone has already stated there’s a lot of stats about ,but we do know that the death rate per case is dramatically lowered the choice is as always a personal one but we have to realise COVID will never be eradicated even if everyone is double or even triple jabbed , ( let’s face it we haven’t eradicated the flu and we accept that it kills over 11,000 people a year in fact in. The winter of 2017 the figure was reportedly 4 times that ) from a totally personal point of view I believe life is all about risk and minimising risk is important but zero risk is impossible .but at the end of the day the decision is a personal one and should be respected
Sounds wonderful, enjoy!It’s a big garden, no one will be offended if my chair’s a long way from theirs (they’re a lovely noisy group who laugh a lot)
They could have informed you, knowing you were having second thoughts!When I got there the host had decided we’d stay indoors, because, they said, it was cold outdoors (it wasn’t).
I agree! They’d even said yesterday that they had plenty of coats and jumpers to share if we wanted them in the garden. Oh well, live and learn.They could have informed you, knowing you were having second thoughts!
Please go have a nice party all by yourself tomorrow to make up for this one!
So sad for you that the day did not turn out quite as you hoped but you did get to see some old friends so not a complete washout.I agree! They’d even said yesterday that they had plenty of coats and jumpers to share if we wanted them in the garden. Oh well, live and learn.
And probably a lot more fun and enjoyable than a middle England middle aged lunch! I'd like the young you!Thank goodness I did a heck of a lot of exciting, enjoyable and risk-taking living when I was younger.
