Dilemma – I have a friend who’s returning from a month abroad in a week’s time, including Thailand and other eastern countries, hopping from one to another, so more than just the plane out and back, a few plane rides. She went just as the whole Covid-19 thing was beginning to kick off. Thought I was being hysterical (I suspect) when I warned her to be careful. I also suspect she’s not taking much notice of it while she’s away, having too much of a good time.
Here’s the thing; a week after she gets back she’s having a BIG birthday party. Lots of hugging and kisses type thing. I’ve said nothing but I think she should postpone to be on the safe side, and if she doesn’t, I’d rather give it a miss. She’ll be miffed – not angry but miffed for sure – and probably do a fair bit of eye-rolling. My DH, also invited, also doesn’t want to go now – and he’s the driver – it’s out in the sticks, no public transport. He's a scientist and not REMOTELY prone to hysteria!
I really don’t want to put a dampener on her hol by telling her all this now, but on the other hand I think she needs to at least think about postponing until she’s two weeks clear of travelling.
I don’t think I’m hysterical at all, just being cautious.
What do people think? WWYD, just not go? Go and stop being silly? Advise postponing? Thanks - all opinions welcome!
