I've been invited to a wedding and reception in November. I'm fully vaccinated (Pfizer, mid April) and I dine out at restaurants (in counties with high vaccination rate, low COVID-rates, well spaced tables, the entire staff masked, and with dining partners who are fully vaccinated)
I'm reasonably sure that the wedding co-ordinator is planning on placing vaccinated folks and unvaccinated folks at the same table during the reception.... and I'm equally willing to wager that mask usage will be very low and socially discouraged. The wedding/reception will be in a county with about 45% of the population still unvaccinated. (Though I expect the guests to be coming from counties all over the state)
I'm not close to the wedding couple (I've never met them, but might before their wedding) but my date (I'm the +1) is a close immediate relative of theirs. (And the wedding couple and all but one member of their immediate family is vaccinated)
I'm fully vaccinated, so my risk here is low... but I'm trying to minimize my risk of being a vector to others. On the other hand, most of those "others" that are in any real danger are unvaccinated by choice, and I'm well past the point where I care about protecting the willfully stupid.
So gang, given the facts above... what would you do? (And what's your reasoning?).
I'm genuinely stuck on this decision. (But leaning towards attending both the wedding and the reception) My main concern is (I think) the fact that dining companions (and the million people who come by to greet my date) will be potentially unvaccinated.
