To go or nor to go???

[Mischance]

My DD has invited me to go to the panto with her and her two little ones. It would be a joy and I would love it. But I am not sure whether it would be right to go.

We are meeting for lunch at the theatre beforehand - I am not worried about that - the restaurant area is on a mezzanine of a massive two story space with a very high ceiling and everyone is fully distanced.

However, the actual panto is in a medium-sized theatre space and will be heaving with unmasked, unvaccinated and un-socially-distanced children yelling their heads off. We have to prove our vaccine status on going in and as adults wear masks.

What would you do? I would be sad to miss it, but even sadder if I got covid.

What are your Christmas plans? Do they involve travel or could you manage happily at home with your own family on the day?

On the day I will be with both DDs and their families. They live 20 minutes away - I will go by car.

By your own family I meant household. Obviously your adult dd and dgc are very much part of your family. Tbh under those circumstances I'd go

I live alone as I was widowed last year. I pick GC up from school - but did not do so this week as GS has cases in his class.

It is very difficult to balance risks - an ordinary trip to the theatre I might risk, but this one will be rammed with unmasked excited children!
