A good friend is pushing for a get together this weekend despite having a wife and child who had Covid this week. Friend has tested negative for 7 days in a row. Requests to follow current CDC guidelines are being called "drama". I'm so tired of having my stated boundaries for avoiding covid be constantly pushed at. It's worse because this friend is a mental health professional.

Gah. People who call the CDC guidelines "drama"...makes me want to ask how dramatic they might find it to see people deathly ill with COVID.

Where I live, the COVID "community spread" numbers are up so much that the CDC said in my region masks should be worn in all indoors locations by everyone regardless of vaccine status.

Augh, sympathies. You are totally justified in defending your boundaries.

[mommy]

Oof. I'm sorry someone is out to trample your (very reasonable!) boundaries.

[adafrog]

Yeah, especially when it's health professionals, I just can't even.

[lilysea]

Gah!

I am sorry your friend is being selfish :(

Maybe ask them how they would feel if you caught COVID from them and it turned into 12 months or longer of long-COVID?

I am giving myself a weekend of as little as possible, to see whether that is going to help with work related possible burn out (or it could just be that I hit this point roughly annually where I hate my job and want to be doing something different). So far, so good.

Hope you get a good rest!

[adafrog]

Yay!
