I am dealing with some crazy Covid anxiety right now, coupled with an upcoming event that would normally give me social anxiety. I am fully vaccinated, and was invited to a party by my fully vaccinated friend. It's a fairly small event (like 15 people), held outdoors and it's at the end of this month. I'm almost certain she only invited other vaccinated people just knowing her stance on Covid, and I also know I could ask her and she wouldn't get mad. But reading about breakthrough cases has me worried. Not so much for myself, but my parents who are both over 70 (also vaccinated). I know the chances of anyone having covid at this party are slim, as are the chances of me getting covid. But the more I hear about how vaccinated people can carry it and spread the virus, on top of my parents being older has me really worried. The party is the same weekend as my dad's birthday, so I'd basically be with a group of people, then two days later seeing my parents. Anyways, the simplest answer would be to not attend the party, but I would feel terrible bailing on my friend. I could also just mask and social distance at my parents if I end up attending the party. But it just seems like a risk not worth taking, and I do think my friend would be understanding. At the same time, I hardly know anyone at the party so I'm having anxiety about that on top of the whole pandemic thing. I think I'll just have to see where cases are at in my area a month from now...right now my area is doing pretty good with cases and vaccinations. Ugh, anxiety!
