[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your parents are more likely to die in a car crash going to the grocery store than covid-19. I understand that you are afraid. Do not participate. It is okay, but it is not okay for you to be so controlling regarding your brother's major life event. If the church is only allowing 10 people (I assume your parents would be part of the 10), I don't see what the big deal is. Have them wear masks and sit at their own pew. They will not get covid during the ceremony.[/quote]

The insane reception is the problem but I notice you didn't mention that as being safe.

OP, the post above is ignorant. Of course it is OK for you to call out your brother and his fiancee because they are being appallingly childish and making [i]choices that could infect people whom they do not even know if infection spreads from their guests out into those guests' families, coworkers, neighbors.[/i]

Also: Masks with straw holes? Dancing boxes? They are treating the event as if virus protection is a [i]cutesy theme[/i]. That's beyond stupid, and deeply insulting to everyone who takes distancing seriously--and to anyone who has been infected themselves, or lost someone to the virus.

Oh, and the statistical thing of "your parents are more likely to die in a car crash" is a false equivalency. A car crash may be utterly beyond their control, but exposure to the virus is somewhat to largely within their control. And yours. Do not go, OP, and stick to your guns on this. Tell your parents about the Texas case and the one below. And remind them you cannot see them for at least two weeks after the event if they attend.

Look at this. It's similar to the Texas party spreading event but maybe worse. Family party was supposedly was "socially distanced," 14 at party infected, spread to 41 total (and counting) as they gave it to coworkers, neighbors, relatives:
