[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry OP.

Yes, unfortunately, this new social pressure is here to stay for awhile.  Just be clear and kind.  You can say nicely but firmly you are not willing to up the risk.  I think the pp who made it sound like an extra two people are no big deal demonstrates the problem.  Some people realize, it is no longer “2 more people”.  It is everyone the two people interacted with the week before you have to worry about.  So adding 2 more people has a multiplier effect.

This is a good way (IMO the correct way) to think about it.  But OP is correct that many people are sensitive about others' risk tolerance and some are getting offended to the point where friendships and family relationships are getting strained at best.  It's a sad collateral damage of COVID.   I'm always surprised to see people mention they were "comfortable" in a particular venue. Yes, masks or PPE help and you can see those, but you can't see or feel exposure to a virus, so I wouldn't take that much comfort in how you feel based on visual observation.
