People coming back from Spain but not quarantining and planning social events with pregnant women, wtaf?

[Crapster]

Someone I know has just come back from Spain (been living there for the last year, got home on Monday) and gone straight back into a social life for herself and her 3 DC "because they've all missed everyone so much" (return was meant to be in April but delayed due to Covid).

She's just invited me to a SURPRISE BABY SHOWER she's decided to organise for her pregnant sister this weekend which she will be attending along with all 3 of her DC

Obviously I've said I won't be going and asked why she isn't quarantining and she just said that where she was in Spain there were not many cases so she doesn't think it's necessary.

Would you warn the sister? I don't think she knows it is happening and she might rather avoid someone who's meant to be in quarantine!

You don't need to do anything, they are adults and unless they live under a rock they are aware of the guidelines & risks. I'm sure she is well aware her sister has just returned from Spain & likely they have already seen each other. You just decline the invite saying you are not comfortable with attending knowing she has traveled recently & not quarantined.

I am not in denial about covid. I said to the poster she should warn the sister. Even if she doesnt, she is not responsible for her very very small chance of death.

Her sister has a small chance of death, but a large chance of passing the infection on.

Every one of us in the chain of infection is responsible for the consequences of passing it on. Including those who could have prevented it but chose not to.

Mass death and destruction.

she is not responsible for her actions. She is responsible for the consequences of her actions not being reported.

Some people really need a deep fundamental change in their mindset, to grasp the reality of the situation we are in and what is required to get out of it.

@mosquitofeast in the nicest possible way get yourself some help

Spain is one of the worst places she could have come from ATM. Cases there have been rising enormously in the last few weeks

Yes, tell her that unless she postpones it and quarantines or at least gets a test, you will warn the sister, and do it.

I'd be as concerned about the other people attending, as they may not know either.

I don't need help. I am a biologist with a specialism in statistics of pathology. I know what I| am talking about. I am having some difficulty in recent months getting through to some groups of the population exactly what we could be facing, and exactly what we have to do to avoid the worst case scenario. I need some help with that, maybe

Oh for Christ's sake. The woman is more likely to die in childbirth than from COVID

Get some perspective

Good god, really? not a very good one
Millions will die because someone goes to a party? You want to eradicate this virus?

Do you KNOW how many viruses have been eradicated by not ill people not going to baby showers?
