My DC's school have a comedy night next Friday. It's a brilliant event, kids do silly dances, tell jokes, teachers get buckets of water over their heads and a couple do some family friendly stand up.
It's really popular, so is packed out with children and adults. People are literally crammed in for a whole evening.
My DD is in yr6, and she's doing a turn with her best friend. They've been practising for weeks, and can't wait.
I assumed it would get cancelled, as it seems like madness to go ahead as CV cases are rising massively everyday. There are a few cases in my local area, no one at school, and no one I know. I thought the gov announcement today would make the need to cancel "official". But no.
The head has been asked to consider cancelling by several parents, including me. He has refused. He is following PHE advice to the letter. So no need to cancel
.
I'm now working out how to tell my DD that I won't be going and that I don't want her to go either. To me, great as the evening is, it's not necessary and is actually really irresponsible. I've been researching (using reliable sources) and cannot find anything that would indicate that actively putting yourself in this position is a sensible course of action. But lots that would suggest it's a terrible one.
I'm sure if DD caught it she'd be fine, but she would then put others at risk. It's just not worth it. DD is going to be upset and furious if it goes ahead and she can't participate 
What are others doing about of this kind of thing? Are they being cancelled, or still going ahead? I'm so bloody stressed about it!
