Would you feel safe in a pub setting (re Covid)?

[FurryBlueSlippers]

I'm a regular but have name changed.

I belong to a reading group that meets in a local pub once a month, The pub does get busy with locals and their children, and white van men calling in.

We are due to resume later this month and I'm just not sure about going. There would be around 10 of us at the table, sitting close together inside. I've been double jabbed and I think most of us will have been.

But my partner is clinically vulnerable so that's an added concern.

Am I being overly cautious?

I wouldn't. I agree that with rocketing cases it isn't as safe as it was, come the 19th it will be less safe still. Wait until we are on a downward trajectory of cases would be my advice.

No, we’re not going inside any enclosed hospitality venues. OH is cev and it’s just not worth the risk. But they’re not places we’d go into often anyway, so no great loss for us.

Our main “loss” due to covid is foreign holidays which we won’t be doing this year and probably not next year either. It’s abroad where we’d usually go into bars, restaurants etc.
