My best friend is FURIOUS with me because I left my room to go downstairs and eat dinner with my two new roommates (who I had never met) and their two friends. Because apparently I'm not taking Covid seriously by eating with "strangers" because "unmasked eating" is one of the "number one spreaders" and despite that I just had Covid two months ago, I'm still not safe because there are "new strains EVERYWHERE"!!!

So they aren't speaking to me even though we had plans tonight (online). Because I'm a terrible person who is helping to spread Covid without caring at all??

Um... I'll be honest. I can't tell if you're trolling or not. When you say "downstairs," do you mean in your own house? Or that you went downstairs to go out with these people?

I mean, I assume your roommates got tested and got the OK before they moved in, but the fact they brought over their friends (who you also don't know, and possibly can't verify are not contagious) could be seen as irresponsible, depending on where you all live.

It's hard for me to dredge up a lot of sympathy. You're upset that your friend thinks you don't care about not spreading Covid, but I don't see anything in your post suggesting you DO care about not spreading it, especially as a person who previously had it.

I haven't been to any gathering in well since February 2020, not even to visit with a handful of friends. I mask up, stay away from folks, and try to not spend more than 5-10 minutes at a store, and certainly not during busy hours. I do my part, so it pisses me off whenever I hear about random strangers just getting together like the pandemic is over. I know where I live, the pandemic absolutely is NOT over, and yes, new strains are popping up. I'm very disappointed that our state leaders aren't being more restrictive, though I also understand they want to avoid an angry mob of idiots who already think they're above the rules, and can't even manage to put their mask on properly at times. But every time I see a bunch of maskholes denying reality in the news, I just know it means a new spreader event. Which sets all of us back.

I do feel like your friend is overreacting. As long as someone wears their mask, wears it right, doesn't go to medium/large gatherings, and doesn't have a large friend group they rotate through, I'm going to worry about myself and let them worry about them.

But then, I'm not in the US.

While the friends might be a problem, I assume it's pretty hard to effectively isolate yourself from roommates. Even if you had refused to have dinner with them and their friends this time, you would have been around the roommates eventually and you can't control if they come into contact with friends or other people (I don't meant to be flippant about that - it sucks to be stuck with people who might pose a danger to you, but it also doesn't mean all the responsibility falls on you). Also, there's no information here regarding whether the roommates have formed a bubble with these friends, how careful any of these people are being in general, what their risks of exposure are, have any of them had Covid or been vaccinated, etc.
