To go to the theatre with a cold?

[blameitonthecaffeine]

I have a theatre ticket for tonight.

I had Covid 3 weeks ago but wasn't ill. I think I caught it at the theatre (can't know for sure of course but I was sitting next to someone visibly ill and it was hit and crowded).

Now I have a cough and cold. Worse than covid was for me but nothing like bad enough to have given a second thought to pre Covid.

Half of me feels I should stay at home tonight. I was uncomfortable sitting next to the ill person and if I cough or sneeze while at the theatre, I don't want anyone else to feel that way. Even though I know it can't be Covid, they don't know that. And if they catch a cold, they'll have to go through the whole testing malarkey anyway.

The other me half of me thinks that theatre tickets aren't cheap, I'm well enough to go out and that we can't go round avoiding colds forever. If people are happy to be in a theatre they are probably well aware of and happy about the risks of catching a variety of bugs.

Which half would you listen to? YABU = stay at home. YANBU = go to the theatre.

I caught covid by some arsehole going to the theatre with a so called cold. Believe me if you sat next to me with a cold and started sniffing, sneezing and coughing id be making sure you got removed or made to sit elsewhere. Completely selfish to go.

You'd have a job to get someone moved because they had a cold 🤦🏻‍♀️

@TheVolturi trust me it happens where I live in the northwest. Either they move or I do. Just last week at a theatre near me a family were kicked out for it.

I'm in the northwest! If you were kicked out for having a cold near me it would start a riot for sure...

YABU. You are way too focussed (as is most of the world currently) on one particular virus over all others. Where is the logic in staying home and isolating because you had a respiratory virus that was very mild, and yet going out and spreading your germs when you have a respiratory virus that has made you quite ill?!
