Re: Advice for traveling

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks for the questions here. I will try to figure out a way to ask them to her and get the scope of her plans.

She isn't much into detailed plans when it comes to going out so I feel that she prob hasn't thought too hard into very hard situations like you posed here because it seems like she's relying on her fully vacc status as a trust fall if she gets sick.

I'm trying to find ways to phrase things so it doesn't look I fully disprove her traveling because she's very stubborn about these things.

If I hint that I find her friends potentially untrustworthy or that the situation is
high risk/precarious she will not listen and tell me that this all could change in the next few months and downplay the Delta variant in terms of herself getting it. It is all very frustrating to talk to her about this. She has already shut me down about her meeting her friends when I said they could flake on her recently.

I'm sorry, because you obviously care about your friend but you can't protect her from her own willful stupidity. This is not a good time to be traveling to the U.S., much less a COVID hotspot where people aren't being very careful. It's particularly stupid to try this when you have little experience with international travel and are determined not to do research or make plans. Your friend is not smart, and she's making bad choices. There's only so much you can do about that, especially if she's determined not to listen to sound advice.

A lot can change within a few months, and maybe with any luck your friend will be too much of an idiot to realize that there might be rules for entering the U.S. and she won't be able to do it.

I am only hoping that she will reconsider somehow if/when it gets worse from schools reopening.

At this point I can only really sit back and hope she doesn't go through with it and come out worse for it.

I have even tried getting her to consider alternative plans where her US friends come to Canada instead later in Nov where it isn't nearly as bad but to no luck.

Thanks for your input here, I feel like I'm being too much of a downer but maybe I'm being the right amount of practical. :/

I don't think you're a downer. I think that at best, your friend is being foolishly over-optimistic and refusing to consider the very real possibility that her plans are flawed. But honestly, that's a very generous take. My suspicion is that your friend is one of those self-absorbed fuckwits who thinks that their desire to do fun stuff trumps the grim reality of a deadly disease and an over-burdened healthcare system. The fact that she'd rather risk her own health and the health of everyone she might potentially infect just to meet some internet friends speaks volumes.

You're not being a downer. Arm her with all of this information and whatever choice she makes, she makes, but at least it won't be made out of ignorance. Might be a stupid decision, but it's her decision and as long as the facts are known, you don't need to feel guilty about whatever happens.

i feel you, i met with a friend i hadn't seen in a long time and she was super blasé about getting vaccinated, talking about how she'll just "wait out until they have made a vaccine against delta as well so i don't have to get vaccinated twice" and i had such a hard time responding without preaching.

but on the other hand, like, dude.
