Being too afraid of covid?

[ValerieCupcake]

I have been invited to a colleague's 50th birthday party. It is at a golf club with a buffet and disco. Bar, but you buy your own drinks. It's on 2nd April.

My friend was planning on visiting this weekend (Saturday 26th) but tested positive for covid on Monday. The good thing is she doesn't feel too ill. She asked if she could come on the following weekend instead. I told her about the party. I also told her she was welcome to come.

She said that she "can't possibly go to a party with people she doesn't know after just coming out of covid". Surely she should be ok then? She has had vaccines and booster. It's not crammed in like sardines.

She knows that covid doesn't serve “people you know”, right? What has whether she knows people got to do with it?

It's entirely flawed logic.

Yes she should be clear then so can come but it’s up to her if she wouldn’t enjoy it as feeling nervous about passing Covid around

Well that's it. I would have gone to the pub with her. Amongst a lot of people we don't know. I think it might be because she doesn't know my colleagues.

She said that she "can't possibly go to a party with people she doesn't know after just coming out of covid".

Then she isn't going to visit you that weekend because you have plans, obviously.

She could visit me and stay in watching telly whilst I go to the party

Does she mean she might still be feeling a bit crap, and not up to partying with strangers?

Or I wondered if she was anxious about still being infectious to people at that stage?

It doesn't sound like she is afraid of covid, it sounds more like she doesn't think she'll be up to a party with lots of strangers having just recovered from an illness. Even if she is having fairly mild symptoms, a lot of people who have covid take a while to recover fully. Or possibly that she's concerned about spreading it without knowing.

I think this as well.
