What would you do, perspective please!

So, my friends hen do is in a couple of weeks. Part of this will be night out at a club. There will be about 10 of us sharing a house.

I’m double vaccinated, not sure re vaccine status of other ladies going, other than my close friends.

I’m currently self isolating following going to an event last weekend along with my DD, and it’s a pain but obviously following the rules.

DD is asthmatic, she’s not brittle but had had an attack in last few weeks, first one ever and I’m on constant watch now.

I know we need to get on with life, but there’s part of me saying is it worth the risk?

I can’t delete the app, I need to do home visits to potentially immune compromised people, wouldn’t be comfortable with not knowing if I’d been in close contact with positive cases.

I feel like I’ve answered my own question, just would appreciate other people’s views, thank you!

I think you know it would be risky. Even double jabbed you could pick up infection. If it was a spa weekend it might be different but clubbing? Likely to be mostly under 30s, many unvaccinated or only one vaccine.

@Shallysally

I have a similar dilemma it's my friends 40th next Saturday and her sister has booked a club in town but I'm not happy going to a club so I'm going along with it and maybe I'll "ring in sick" and not go
I work for the nhs, in a hospital. My father is elderly as is my great aunt it would be ridiculous but my partner said just tell her you aren't going to an enclosed space snd surely a bbq or outside venue would be better

Sound like you already know what to do (or I’d say, not do).
I’d stay a mile away from a night club. For your own sake, even if you didn’t have all these other people to think about! My friend just caught it from Wembley, double vaxxed. Holidays scuppered, not a big deal, but one doesn’t want to think about the worry if there were weak people involved

Double jabbed is no protection. DS is 19 and double jabbed. Covid positive and really poorly.

Thanks all, you’ve confirmed what I’m thinking.

@dementedma, I hope your son recovers quickly

Best to let your friend know in good time I'm sure lots of others are feeling uneasy about it too.

I think you should be upfront about it. You might not be the only one feeling uneasy about it. Could you go along for a bit to show support to your friend but leave before they go to the club?

@TiddleTaddleTat I’ve just spoken to her, I’m not the only one with concerns in the group.

@KylieKoKo it’s a weekend away, so train, sharing the house, probably a day out in city. Then back to get ready for the night out. So still be in close contact with others.

Thanks for your suggestion, I think I’m anxious about the not having control aspect. The not knowing how careful other people who are going are being.

"Double jabbed is no protection"
so what was the point in so many people being injected?

I think there's nothing to even think about, when your child's health is involved.
Even we need to live our life, it comes with certain precaution with some people.
Circumstance is everything. We are still pretty much in pandemic. Drinking and clubbing is a lot of risk atm.

Mole rat, I think the symptoms are less severe if you have been double jabbed so less people needing to go to hospital.
I know several double jabbed who now have Covid. Ironically I didn’t know of any personally until the vaccines starting rolling out, but I suppose people were more locked down before
