[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, yes it is because of Covid-19.

I can't really tell you to your face that I've lost all respect for you because you just invited me to a party during a pandemic, and I know social distancing won't be implemented, can I?

So we're not going to see much of each other in the future.[/quote]
We are still social distancing so aren't going to parties, but I strongly disagree that a party invitation now means that you should have no respect for the person and won't be seeing them in the future. That's a really strong judgment to make when the information has been so mixed, and you don't know what what safety procedures will be followed at the party you are not attending. We don't attend because better safe than sorry, but I believe that it is possible to have a pretty safe socially distanced outside party.[/quote]

No.

I've seen plenty of informal gatherings and parties in my neighborhood (Bethesda). People don't realize they're drawing closer to one another as the party progresses, and talking without masks, of course, since they're eating and drinking. It's highly uncomfortable talking at a Covid-safe distance, unless you have a naturally bellowing farm voice, so people gradually draw closer together.

We are all supposed to be informed and act intelligently. Information has NOT been mixed if you listen to the right source. Just because gatherings are legal does not make them safe. Use your brain.

Thus, I judge stupid people who have parties now. Entertainment does not come before safety. Power through your "depression"and save lives. 
There are so many in this world who need to take risks for a living or because they care for the sick and elderly. Don't take risks just for fun.
