So paranoid about getting Covid due to holiday in September

[Movinghouseatlast]

I have 2 sets of friends coming to stay in the next few weeks. All adults are fully vaccinated but children aren't. They leave on August 21st.

We are going on holiday in September ( booked 18 months ago, was meant to be our wedding)

I know that if I were to get it the test at the airport could show a positive result even though it would probably be over and done by then. So I could end up in a quarentine hotel.

I am also going to the opticians and for an indoor meal out tomorrow.

I think I stupidly thought that as we are all double vaccinated it would be OK. I don't want to cancel them as it is their main holiday this year ( as my holiday is mine!)

I just don't know what to do. I have been SO careful all through this, I have barely been anywhere, have everything delivered etc etc. I don't want to fall at the final hurdle!

What should I fo? I kind of want to ask them to take a test before they come but that seems a bit shit and if they're offended will ruin the holiday.

If they're good friends, surely they will understand your position, and wouldn't object to taking a test? I think that's a really good suggestion from you.

If they won't, then a) they're really not good friends and/or b) you should cancel their visit, or look to postpone it until after your holiday.

This is an odd time. Holidays are cancelled due to positive tests so in your shoes I'd reschedule.

You are over thinking it I think, your chance of catching it is still very low, however if you are worried then ask your friends to do a test I’m sure they won’t mind. I have been asked a few times before events/meet ups and it doesn’t bother me.

But please don’t put life on hold all the time because you are worried about the next thing you have coming up otherwise you will lose lots of day to day enjoyment after what has already been a really crap period of our lives!

You're just as likely to catch it from leaving the house the day before your holiday as you are having your friends round a week or so before.
Either cancel/reschedule the holiday completely or just see what happens and there's a good chance you'll be fine. I don't think over worrying about your friends giving it is healthy or realistic.
