[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP.    I called the school (it's a religious school and my son doesn't go to the school but is involved with the youth group).  Now they are telling me it will be capped at 90 kids. presumably to comply with the under 100 rule for NJ.    90 kids doesn't make me feel much better than 150.   Especially since they specifically are saying "NO masks", as if it is a badge of honor.

I'm very lucky that my son is quite understanding and respectful of our decision.  He's just extremely disappointed as he has finally made some nice friends and wanted to do this very badly.  I'm proud of him for the way he has handled everything, and I told him so.  He is sad and disappointed but completely understands.

We are by no means totally isolating, and we go to the beach with friends, swim in our pool with a friend or two, etc, because we can't justify those things being much of a risk the way we do them.  So we are lightening up, but there is no way this party is a good idea.

I just found out today that our good friends (who are allowing their child to go to this formal) are flying to Minnesota next week to visit friends.  They have been trying to push it down our throats that this is no more dangerous than the flu and the media is just blowing this out of proportion.   Now I'm going to have to deal with my kids not seeing their kids for 2 weeks when they get back.  I'm sick of their attitude frankly.   We were allowing outside playdates, etc, but I'm not allowing that either if they are flying and visiting out of state too.

I really really appreciate the validation here, as I'm just so damn sick of the emotional component of wanting to be cautious (while not being ridiculous), and the backlash everywhere I turn.  It makes a hard situation so much harder.     [/quote]
