[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're worried, don't go. Op's complaint is completely legit. Op, is ridiculous that you had to put up with pressure. Everyone else piling-on against a small group of people standing in a field, and a couple saying, "I Do" ---  chill. Not every thing is dangerous.[/quote]

I spoke yesterday with a friend whose cousin had a "small, outdoor" wedding in upstate New York the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Eighteen out of 30 now have COVID. The hardest hit was a 22-year-old with no health problems who is now in ICU. They wore masks, it was outside...[/quote]

I have a hard time believing people are getting covid when outside and wearing masks. Did the folks at the wedding ride in cars together or gather at a hotel indoors or go bowling or spend time at a bar together? It always turns out that they spent time indoors together and that’s how they got covid. [/quote]

I can tell you how. I belong to a group with a specific outdoor interest. I signed up for an outdoor event where the group running it made us all sign a document saying we'd be masked and stay 6 ft apart. It was 2 minutes into the event that we had a person with no mask participating and the leaders wouldn't say anything because it was a guy and he is an expert at what we were doing. He planned to keep a greater distance from the rest of us but within 5 minutes was on top of me multiple times. I got angry and told him to stay the f away from me. It did nothing as he was a friend of the leader. As we continued on the leaders  dropped their masks more often to speak  It was clear my spouse and I and a few others were not comfortable but the leaders ignored it and did whatever they felt comfortable with which was coming up to us very close multiple times to talk with guide books while their masks were dropped. These are all liberal, environmental types. It was asinine and disgusting. I'll never donate another penny now that I know what selfish asshats these people are. There was no breeze and I have no doubt if anyone there was positive, the virus found new hosts that day.

Seemingly sane people often have such a strong desire for social interaction that they will make crazy decisions that are not based on logic. [/quote]
