I feel ya - was just trying to offer a potential peace of mind. The best thing you can do is control what you can control - getting a test, wearing a mask, social distancing - sounds like you are doing everything possible so, for that, you should be proud. :)im doing that today, but I can't help but worry, my work environment isn't nearly as secure as I'd like and I'm gonna be there leading up to Thanksgiving
im gonna try and be extra cautious, but it's a virus, ya know?
shit's fucked
thank youI feel ya - was just trying to offer a potential peace of mind. The best thing you can do is control what you can control - getting a test, wearing a mask, social distancing - sounds like you are doing everything possible so, for that, you should be proud. :)
Thanks! I'll do what I can :)thank you
Please stay safe as well, overly cautious seems like a must these days 🥰
honestly, the drama might be worth the cancellation, shit is super fucked out there right now, im considering the same right now
I trust that my sister has been careful, but shit is SO fucked that I'd rather not risk this at all
she's got kids, what if im asymptomatic, etc etc.
Great album in your avatar!Just making dinner for the people in my house. I'm sad that I can't see family but I don't wanna take the risk.
I think it's fine to go to family gatherings if everyone gets tested, completely isolates after getting negative test results, no one has symptoms, no one is immunocompromised, the gathering is kept to a low number (ideally well under 10), only private transportation is used, etc.just get a turkey breast, tons of fool-proof ways to prepare it.
just me and my SO. Please don't go to family gatherings.
Cause the drama then. It's not that big of a deal. Thanksgiving will be there next year.Unfortunately agreed to visit parents in the next state over before everything went to shit and I feel like it's too late to bail without causing a ton of drama despite all the updated guidance statements in the last 48-72 hours. I'm a little worried about risk exposure but my parents have been doing a good job up to now with masking and staying in their bubble but I'd really prefer to have just stayed home and not have to deal with this at all.
But I don't think a blanket ban on thanksgiving is necessary if everyone is able to do it the right way.
Damn, 15 dishes!My wife is making an amazing feast for just our family. Somehow she has 15 dishes planned for the 4 of us? I imagine we will then package up food and do drop offs for her father and sister, who will be alone this year. Usually we host around 25-30 people in our home on Thanksgiving.
It's funny because my wife has been doing Thanksgiving for over 15 years now and people have are calling her the past few days for recipes because they have to make it themselves this year.
