Should I go?

[amazedmummy]

I'm very aware of getting sucked into hysteria. I'm also aware of under reacting.
I have a 3 month old DS. We've been invited to a wedding. We agreed to go months ago. It's up north and there have been cases confirmed in Grampian. I'm not sure if we should go or not. We'll be staying with PIL. MIL is a nurse but as far as we know has not come into contact with any cases. I don't know if we should go or cancel and offer to pay for our meals? We won't be travelling by public transport but there will obviously be a large group of people attending that we don't know.

I would go.

I would go.

I wouldn’t go. Especially with a 3 month old. Children might not get it as severe or it be life threatening but can you imagine your baby coughing and struggling to breath. My baby is a few months older and I’m terrified. Also at that age everyone wants to touch them and hold them.

Go. How big is the wedding even? The chances of getting it now are very still slim. By the time they are high, weddings won't be taking place.

Thanks everyone. I think I'm leaning towards going. I'd be upset if everyone had bailed on my wedding. I can't imagine it's a huge wedding.

You should go!

A random film or theatre trip- don't go.

A wedding- definitely go!

The risk at the moment is minimal. You'll be able to come home if you feel poorly while away (unlike a trip abroad which would worry me).

Go, help the, celebrate, have a great time.

How old are your PIL?

PILs are in their 60s.

The only thing that would be a challenge if we don't feel well is that it's about a 3 hour drive and DH can't drive so I need to be up to it.

There's no way I'd go to wedding right now though I'm sure plenty would. You have to do what you feel comfortable with.

I would go.

id go

I would go but I'm sure the couple would understand that they are likely to have people drop out and the reasons why.

Go.

Absolutely not. When is the wedding?

When is it?

The wedding is on Friday.

No. Spreading time is now, you'll be a bit clearer on Friday & there's a chance they might cancel the wedding.

If I'm honest & they don't, I might just say I had to self isolate as a precaution as I had developed a cough.

I know it's not nice but this is going to get worse & worse

I've set myself a deadline of Monday to decide so they're not having people drop out on the day.

Sounds sensible

They've been able to postpone so we might make it after all.
