Miami Bachelor/ette Party v Pandemic Pt 2, Delta Variant Boogaloo

on July 22, 2021 at 12:58 AM Posted in Parties and Events 0 2
FH and I planned a co-ed bachelor/ette trip to Miami in mid/ late august thinking it would be safe. Given that 20% of new cases are in Florida and Miami is a major travel hub, I’m nervous about going given the surge from the delta variant and the possibility of breakthrough infections.


Everyone coming is vaccinated, but this last year has really shaken me and if cases aren’t down by a few weeks from now and we still go, I think I would be too scared of someone getting sick, esp because it seems like there’s no rhyme or reason with how hard covid hits different people, even vaccinated ones. I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if a member of my friends/ family got seriously sick or had to battle long covid.
That said this has been my happy thought getting me through the shittiest year ever, and I’m having trouble accepting the possibility that it won’t happen.
Changing destinations wouldn’t really be an option, because delta is the predominant variant throughout the US now and idk how safe I would feel doing the nightclub/ day club parties I really was looking forward to. I polled the girls and they pretty much all still want to go, and now I’m both upset with the pandemic and with myself for not being able to be mentally ok with going given how many people are getting sick and the relative lack of data on the likelihood of symptomatic breakthrough infections.
Has anyone gone through something similar who wants to commiserate? I know this is 100% a super privileged place to be complaining from (ergo, the KUWTK gif) but I’m disappointed nevertheless and just needed to vent. If you’ve gotten this far thanks for reading.tenor.gif

    I haven't gone through the exact same thing, but i have postponed my wedding celebration once (by a year) and then postponed it again by 1.5 years (if it even ends up happening at all). So I can definitely relate to being very concerned about having an event and risking people getting sick at it / because of it. It's a very tough situation to be in, and I feel for you! No matter what you decide, it probably won't be easy on you. This new variant is scary, and I can just imagine how much anxiety it inserts into your bachelor(ette) plans...when just a few weeks/months ago, we thought things were getting SO much better! That rollercoaster does NOT sound fun at all, and I feel for you!

    Maybe just skip the big pool parties, clubs and super crowded places. There are sooooo many things to do in Miami. That could make you feel better while still enjoying the trip.
