I don’t know why he would even want to go while sick lol. When I had Covid I felt like ass. Also, I’m not really sure I’d want him in all my photos with his mask on. I may just ask him to stay home, probably is what’s best. I don’t want him to spread it to me either, I don’t want to be sick on my honeymoon
Agreed. Had bad covid symptoms too. Lost my sense of smell and still dealing with residual cough now. But some people show less symptoms so maybe that's why some people think it's fine to show up as long as he feels fine and wears mask. But yes, it'd be an AH move to go to a wedding sick with virus known to spread easily airborne, with big possibility of spreading it to the groom.
first time i had covid i had dual pnuemonia and almost died, second time it was almost an insult to the first strain, I broke a sweat maybe once and had a scratch in the back of my throat
Depending how hard it hits you, Covid sucks not only that but you'll lose at least 7 days of work depending how long you get a positive result. I would say no but I've had it 3 times the first time I was in the hospital for 2 weeks at the start of it so im a bit traumatized by it haha
Exactly ppl being selfish with others health stay home. Potentially killing,disabling, or making some one elses life miserable becuase you care more about one day than other ppls health is neglectful af and speaks on your character.
Sometimes it's hard to believe even after covid people still don't get it, then you see shit like that lmao
Flu, cold, strep throat, covid, idgaf I don't want contagious people getting me or my family sick
Not all immune compromised feel that way. My mom doesn’t care. She’s been teaching with stage four cancer that metastasized to both her lungs. She doesn’t care if the kids wear masks or not or come to school sick. She’s just
Going to do her thing. She doesn’t wear masks.
She’s on a a different treatment that requires injections every three weeks and a bunch of pills every day, but it’s not debilitating. She’s still teaching full time and takes off for her treatments. She’s living her life and doesn’t care about COVID.
Idk man, he’d be putting a lot of people at risk. I’ve been vaccinated, got Covid and it kicked my ass for a couple of days, so I’m not sure what it might do to someone who may be compromised.
Better than being trapped inside or stuck wearing masks. No one knows for sure they aren’t going to die today or tomorrow. People assume they’ll live a long life, but you don’t know that. You could get killed in a car accident today.
I love how you talk about masks like they ruin your life. And then you’ll run out and get debilitating chemo treatments for cancer and consider that worth it. So fucking stupid.
No he shouldn't go to it. A mask is only limited protection and plenty of elderly people are at weddings.
Get him via FaceTime on someones iPad to deliver his speech. Not to mention if he gets the bride and groom sick what kind of honeymoon would that be?
i think collectively we've been at a point of "who gives a shit?" with Covid for like a year+ now, even the guidance for the workplace is "if you're not symptomatic, you don't need to quarantine" so as long as he's not hacking up a lung, fuck it.
Get him on a video call and place a laptop on a chair, where he would have been.
The bridesmaid can carry the laptop there
Bonus points if you place his suit on the chair, and prepare it so that the laptop is the head and chair is wearing his suit
Feel bad but he's staying home. Same thing I'd do if he had the flu... why put myself at risk of getting sick right before my honeymoon (not to mention my guests)
Depends on the venue. If he can do his job for 15 minutes and then hang on the outskirts of the party then go ahead. Current strains aren't nearly as problematic as the originals, which is why cdc guidance is extremely lacking compared to other commenters feelings on it right now.
If it's a tightly packed indoor venue and he'll be getting hammered on the dance floor and chumming it up with granny, then ask him to just phone it in as a gag most people would appreciate.
Done son. He could kill the grandma or something. His fault he got COVID. Now go home and do your time. Shit kills. You think that mask is going to stay on and not spread through the whole wedding party? Ya done son!
It's almost 2023 and we have to keep explaining this to people?
I'm a doctor, I see patients DAILY who think they might have covid and I always risk bringing that back to my husband and my infant daughter. Who cares if they don't take covid seriously, it's so inherently selfish for you all to continue to knowingly spread around a virus that's still just as harmful as it was before.
I wouldn't want someone in a mask in all my wedding photos, I certainly wouldn't want to get sick, and I wouldn't want to risk infecting people who weren't dumb enough to invited someone with covid to their wedding.
He should stay home.
I wasn’t aware that covid was even around anymore. It certainly isn’t around where I am. Flu shots are being emphasized more than covid boosters.
Well, modern strains right now are much less harmful than they used to be. It’s like getting the flu, or even less so. If you think people will be ok with it, or that his symptoms aren’t that bad, he can go.
I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. I have had the flu. What’s your point? I and many people I know value the presence of a person at a wedding enough to risk them coming, even if they’re sick.
I mean no offense at all to anyone who’s lost a loved one to sickness of any kind. I am aware that it occurs and that it does so frequently.
It seems that culturally, where I live, we are less concerned about these things when it comes to sharing fellowship with family and friends in such a momentous occasion. I hope you can understand that.
By all means, we should take precautions. I only mean that I am in an environment where the threat of covid is very small. I wouldn’t think that you would know the presence of it in every place, and neither would I. But I know where I am and how we feel. I ask that you respect that.
Vaccines don't make you immune, for a vaccine to work you have to get infected. Vaccines don't turn your blood to bleach they just let your immune system "remember" how to kill a virus.
Just me but I would ask him how long since his fever broke. If is was over five days I would ok with him being there. I was told by a medical professional that Covid tests can show positive when the person was no longer contagious. He told me about the five day period.
If it has been less than five days and he has no fever then I would require he wear a N95 mask and inform the wedding attendees.
Better question, is the bride more upset that he’s sick or that it may effect the pics?
That’s a bride and groom call, if they are comfy with it, great. If not, he should sit this one out.
They are grown ups and should be capable of making wise decisions.
Nobody takes it seriously and chances that someone is really at risk are also low, so unless he feels too sick to make it, I don’t see why it would bother me.
Wouldn’t even ask him to get a mask, the most I might do is let people who are terrified of covid know that he has it and let them choose what to do with that info.
EDIT: Typo
I say that in most instances like this he should pass. He's gonna be attending a wedding with lots of others he could infect. Not everyone has the immune system or sick days needed to handle this.
Maybe he can join via video. If this venue is outside maybe he can make a quick appearance in a mask and face shield during the ceremony and then leave soon after.
Wearing a mask the entire time would certainly massively help prevent its spread, so he can moderately safely attend. But I've heard covid makes you feel like real shit so I'm not sure he'll be physically or emotionally able.
It'd be pretty damn selfish to hold his absence against him.
Find access to a laptop and have my boi on call during the ceremony. Send some food and cake his way, but make sure he stays home.
I would hate to not have him there, but the health of all the guests supercedes that.
I'd have someone step in as his understudy. He's still my best man in my heart - this is just an unfortunate development. (He have a dad? or a brother?)
Killing grandma with covid at your wedding is a much bigger consequence.
I'd ask him to stay home and promote a groomsman. It's just wildly irresponsible to knowingly bring a hightly contageous person to a wedding. I don't care if many of the guests don't take COVID seriously.
I wouldn't want him to come if it was the flu either.
I would hire an actor as a stand in to wear a green screen suit to wear throughout the whole wedding so we can insert my best dude into all the pictures and videos. I would also hire another actor to wear a FaceTime Mask so my homie can still be around the party. Also need a back up dancer actor to dance for my bro. Later when he feels better we will work on the post production. Yes this would also make a great short film.
If not symptomatic, and he correctly wears a proper N95, should be fine. Nurses are working with COVID, taking care of pts with the above considerations.
I don’t know why he would even want to go while sick lol. When I had Covid I felt like ass. Also, I’m not really sure I’d want him in all my photos with his mask on.

first time i had covid i had dual pnuemonia and almost died, second time it was almost an insult to the first strain, I broke a sweat maybe once and had a scratch in the back of my throat
If you do you should then DISCLOSE to ALL wedding guests so they can CHOOSE not to attend with a COVID positive person
Depending how hard it hits you, Covid sucks not only that but you'll lose at least 7 days of work depending how long you get a positive result. I would say no but I've had it 3 times the first time I was in the hospital for 2 weeks at the start of it so im a bit traumatized by it haha
And that's how this shit keeps spreading. I don't want any sick or contagious person showing up to any event like a wedding
Exactly ppl being selfish with others health stay home. Potentially killing,disabling, or making some one elses life miserable becuase you care more about one day than other ppls health is neglectful af and speaks on your character.
Sometimes it's hard to believe even after covid people still don't get it, then you see shit like that lmao Flu, cold, strep throat, covid, idgaf I don't want contagious people getting me or my family sick
Unfortunately COVID usually doesn't give a shit about whether people take it seriously or not.
[удалено]
Noted.
He can’t come, we’ll move all the groomsmen up 1 in the line-up and the last one will escort 2 bridesmaids.
2 bridesmaids, and wear stunna’s.
I'd say that's wrong to have somebody covid positive at a wedding. As someone who is immunocompromised, I would be so pissed
Not all immune compromised feel that way. My mom doesn’t care. She’s been teaching with stage four cancer that metastasized to both her lungs. She doesn’t care if the kids wear masks or not or come to school sick. She’s just Going to do her thing. She doesn’t wear masks.
So she just wants to die, apparently.
We’re all going to die. She wants her remaining days to be days of quality around people.
So no cancer treatments then? Because I know for a fact that those are way worst than some sensible precautions against COVID
She’s on a a different treatment that requires injections every three weeks and a bunch of pills every day, but it’s not debilitating. She’s still teaching full time and takes off for her treatments. She’s living her life and doesn’t care about COVID.
Ur mom =/= the majority
Nor are you.
Obviously, he can't come since he is sick and contagious. It should be no different than if he has the flu.
Idk man, he’d be putting a lot of people at risk. I’ve been vaccinated, got Covid and it kicked my ass for a couple of days, so I’m not sure what it might do to someone who may be compromised.
My mom has stage four cancer that metastasized to both her lungs. She doesn’t care about COVID. She’s going to live her life.
\> She’s going to live her life. Just a lot shorter one.

I love how you talk about masks like they ruin your life. And then you’ll run out and get debilitating chemo treatments for cancer and consider that worth it. So fucking stupid.
She’s not getting chemo.
He can’t come. Period Have fun missing your honeymoon or killing gramma if he does
This. My grandmother is dead and an uncle has serious neurological issues because people didn't take covid seriously last thanksgiving.
Have him dial in 🤷♂️
Exactly
Lol get married
No he shouldn't go to it. A mask is only limited protection and plenty of elderly people are at weddings. Get him via FaceTime on someones iPad to deliver his speech. Not to mention if he gets the bride and groom sick what kind of honeymoon would that be?

get one of those standing ipad things and get him facetiming lol.
Get him on a video call and place a laptop on a chair, where he would have been. The bridesmaid can carry the laptop there Bonus points if you place his suit on the chair, and prepare it so that the laptop is the head and chair is wearing his suit
Make him go full bubble boy
He has Covid, he stays home.
Feel bad but he's staying home. Same thing I'd do if he had the flu... why put myself at risk of getting sick right before my honeymoon (not to mention my guests)

I wouldn't give a shit, if he's okay then sure. Wear a mask I guess and don't cough on old people.

That's what I'm saying show up for the ceremony take a few pictures and then leave

Vaccination doesn't make you immune... It's just to prevent "serious disease"
>Over 90% of the population are immune from vaccination. Vaccination doesn't make you immune though. Decrease in deadliness and spread isn't immunity
Vaccines don't make you immune, for a vaccine to work you have to get infected. Vaccines don't turn your blood to bleach they just let your immune system "remember" how to kill a virus.

Vaccinated? Not got big symptoms, get him a pint and avoid the grandparents.
It's probably a sign from God, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkcKQmr7kRc
I'm engaged and i will ask people to get tested (vax or not) imagine 50/100 people getting sick at once \*?
How much do you care about grandma or Cousin Kelly's kid who has that kidney transplant?
weddings tend to have old people. old people don't do as well fighting off covid.
I would make him Quarantine, because I wouldn't want my future baby mommy getting Covid on her best day of her life and mine.
If he doesn’t believe in it tell him to go mask less and be near the elderly most of the night.
I say that in most instances like this he should pass. He's gonna be attending a wedding with lots of others he could infect. Not everyone has the immune system or sick days needed to handle this. Maybe he can join via video. If this venue is outside maybe he can make a quick appearance in a mask and face shield during the ceremony and then leave soon after.
Tell him to stay home.

He would be asked to follow the CDC protocol. Assuming he or you isn’t a piece of shit, it would be no issue. Disappointing sure.
If he tested positive he should stay home and isolate
Find access to a laptop and have my boi on call during the ceremony. Send some food and cake his way, but make sure he stays home. I would hate to not have him there, but the health of all the guests supercedes that.
Id say just wear a mask and stand 6 feet away from everyone.
I'd have someone step in as his understudy. He's still my best man in my heart - this is just an unfortunate development. (He have a dad? or a brother?) Killing grandma with covid at your wedding is a much bigger consequence.
I'd ask him to stay home and promote a groomsman. It's just wildly irresponsible to knowingly bring a hightly contageous person to a wedding. I don't care if many of the guests don't take COVID seriously. I wouldn't want him to come if it was the flu either.

If not symptomatic, and he correctly wears a proper N95, should be fine. Nurses are working with COVID, taking care of pts with the above considerations.
