To almost wish I hadn’t been privy to this information-what would you do??

For context, I live abroad in a beautiful place that relies heavily on tourism for its income. Majority of people born and bred here have been hit hard financially by covid, very hard, they don’t have the same benefits etc as they do in U.K., businesses have been closing and people really really struggling.
The covid figures are fairly low, everything has opened back up for summer.

This morning I took my toddler Dd to a local
hotel soft play, it’s part of a huge water park, packed with holiday makers. We went into the quiet part and had a nice morning, all was fine.
Dp texted at lunch asking what we were up to etc, normal lunchtime text, I told him where we’d been and he said to be very careful as the hotel and water park is full of staff who’ve tested positive for covid 🤷🏻‍♀️I had no idea, he told me his colleagues wife works there and told his colleague that they’re trying to keep it quiet at the hotel/water park so that it doesn’t get closed down again (has been closed down so many times before) he said wife is negative but tests every other day and all the workers (including her) desperately need their jobs.
I’m hoping we’re ok as I literally sat on a chair outside watching her and didn’t order a drink from the bar staff etc.
There are so so many holiday makers there, albeit mainly young families and kids, due to the water park, but, this is wrong, isn’t it 🤷🏻‍♀️

What a load of ignorant claptrap. Which part of "the vaccination doesn't prevent a person from contracting, not spreading it" did you ignore?

If everyone knows that, everyone can and should make their decisions about exposure accordingly. Getting vaccinated will (probably) prevent you from dying of covid, but not from exposing a loved one. So if you don't want to expose your loved ones, don't do things where you're likely to be exposed to covid. That would include going to crowded water parks. There's really nothing else to be said for it at this point.

Also, if that's true, there's absolutely zero logic to vaccination mandates.

The trouble with messages being ''passed along'' is something is always lost in transition or the story gets inflated. I'm sure there used to be a party game and you had people standing in a circle and someone would start off whispering a line or story and so on, until it came to the last person who had to say what they were told.

In that case, totally hilarious to hear what the final version was!

In this case though, if you are worried, go and get tested. If positive, report it in. If not, then choose to stay away from the venue for now.

As others have said, it will soon become obvious if the venue is at the centre of another outbreak.

It’s likely to have more cases due to the low rates generally and holiday makers coming from areas with higher rates as you said, so surprised you are surprised. As a local person, coming into contact with people from prevalent areas is always going to be more of a risk, but seems you were offsetting this as much as you could by social distancing etc. Possibly due to their work this could be more difficult for the staff and as they are there everyday are most at risk hence the employer providing regular testing. Is the water park indoor or fully outdoor?

That's fine where you have a choice. But what about where you don't, like work? I'm in a public-facing job and having huge problems getting my employers to make adjustments to keep me safe. Legal obligations to do so seem to be causing them problems. Great for most that the restrictions have gone, but it's making life more difficult for others.

I really genuinely believe that covid is not going anywhere. So you have a couple of choices, you hide at home or you get out there and live but be as careful as you can.

These businesses simply cannot take the strain of shutting over and over. Whenever I go out, I also treat wherever I go like somebody potentially has covid anyway.

I think it’s wrong to deceive people but I also think that in a years time this will just be the reality of life and people with covid will simply be sent home or will stay at home in the first instance.

The stats say that if you have had both jabs, and come into close contact with a positive Covid case for a period of time, there i s a 1 in 25 chance you will catch it. If I was you I would test every 3 days as we should and remember to take your vitamin D. You are responsible for keeping your self safe, and thereby others.If people are flying there on holiday, they must be aware of all the risks they are taking. They must have had a Covid pass to be able to do this any way.

And for a previous poster, the point of mandating vaccination is that you are not likely to die a horrible death from Covid if you catch it.
