[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 have a middle-aged friend who's fighting COVID right now.  They are insanely careful and she knows for certain the only exposure she's had in the past 3+ weeks was at an outdoor church drive where they were packing boxes for charity for Christmas, distanced and masked.  No, they did not eat in restaurants or shop in stores or do any of those things.

These "masked, distanced" events are not distanced every minute.  People are people.  Is it safer than eating in a restaurant?  Sure.  But does it mean you can't get COVID?  No, it doesn't.

Oh, and did nobody eat or drink during these weddings?  If so, how did they so do continually masked?  Yeah, I thought not.[/quote]
