[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from CA and my parents are not vaccinated.  We have flown out for extended visits to see them during covid.  They are very careful and don’t go in large groups etc.  But they feel like the risk is mostly to them and they would rather see us than not.  I get the fear of covid but older parents are also on a limited timeframe and I’m not going to wait until covid is over to see my unvaccinated family.  No issues whatever so far. [/quote]
Great, you've been lucky. But don't pretend it's anything more than that.

My extended family all got Covid in March 2020 and we had 5 hospitalizations and two deaths. OP is right to be concerned about both her dad/stepmom giving it to them and vice versa. We don't know who gave whom Covid--and thank goodness we don't. The guilt of even the "what if it was me?" causes the few of us who are the likely candidates to lose plenty of sleep.[/quote]

That is sad, and I am sorry for your family. But it's not relevant to the current situation for OP. Hospitalization and death are not likely right now (sure, still possible, but not at all likely since everyone is vaxxed or already had covid except her 4 year old). Holding on to that fear of March 2020 doesn't do us any good in 2022.[/quote]
