6. And how do you explain your situation to old friends - "why we can't get together...."

My oldest friend and her family are coming in to town this month and as we are now back in the "high" category I just don't feel comfortable getting together with her and her family who are flying in from the western US. This isn't just for me but for my husband who is has a serious heart condition.

I wrote to her and politely inquired (I know its a touchy area) if they are vaxxed and boosted and she didn't respond. Did she forget to do so or just didn't want to say?

Even if she and her husband are ok (I think he's a trumper and she may be so I'm doubtful) I'm pretty sure their adult kids won't be - plus they will all be flying here.

They don't seem to have a care about it. As they are our age and have very serious health conditions they seem to be throwing caution to the wind, rolling the dice, etc.

I don't get it. No vacation is worth that.
