[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are people still avoiding people who go away?

I would like to have a small holiday party. We are going to Disney world. Not sure if people will want to avoid us.

We were ultra careful for a year. Then adults got vaccinated. 2 of my 3 kids are now vaccinated. DH and I have our boosters.[/quote]

Yes, I'm avoiding people like you who are traveling and having parties  You aren't being ultra careful if you are going to Disney and parties and other stuff.  That isn't even careful.

Have your party.  Most will go, some of us would not.[/quote]

I said I was ultra careful for a year. We basically didn’t socialize and spent all our time outside, didn’t eat out, etc.

It has been 21 months. We started socializing since the spring in small groups outside.

We can just wait until 2022. I won’t have the holiday party.[/quote]

OP - ignore the trolls. Look - covid is here to stay. At some point we have to get back to normal. Having a holiday party if you and your whole family is vaxxed is an entirely reasonable thing to do. going away is also an entirely reasonable thing to do (but note that disney WILL be full of anti vaxxers vs other destinations) that doesnt mean you haven't been careful. It means you recognize that covid is here to stay and it is deleterious to your mental health to continue to avoid something you are vaccinated against and completely virus proof your life. there is no 'right' or 'wrong' there is your comfort level with the idea of catching it, knowing that if your family is fairly healthy and you are vaxxed and boosted that you will in all likelihood have a mild course of illness. there's a kind of weird vibe in america at the moment of like - covid shaming - and it's just silly. it's endemic now and vaccines are avail so figure out what makes sense for your level of comfort and do it [/quote]

But OP’s whole family isn’t vaccinated. The adorable youngest child may very well be a vector for Covid. How is that being cautious?

I’m looking forward for this return to normal, but kids under 5 are still unvaccinated and some families are still having to cocoon themselves to protect high-risk family members. I wish people would take this seriously so all us of could return to normal.[/quote]
