I'm slightly confused by this. Did you know everyone would get sick somehow? What made them super-spreader events beforehand?
Perfect choice of gif though lol
It's more about getting chastised and guilt-tripped about refusing to go yet another holiday family event where multiple people are likely symptomatic and they get mad you opt out, then you're vindicated later when many people actually get sick
Did you consider wearing an N95 and washing hands thoroughly upon departure, or was it more a good excuse to not associate with people you don't love or care for?
I'm not Christian but my family enjoys a paganesque Christmas as a bunch of agnostic and atheists as a good excuse to get together. In fairness, we don't really associate with anyone anti-vaxx or stupid with hygiene either.
Not OP, but if the main attraction of the "holiday event" is a meal, it's not like you can wear an N95 mask to eat. I suppose it'd be an option to make a quick appearance and then bow out before the meal, but it sounds like OP's family's would just be assholes to OP if OP showed up just to leave early (and was also assholes when OP declined to show up entirely.)
i am so envious. that rules out 3/4 of both my wife's and my family.
Were these family members also antivaxers?
Vindicated, yes, but does seeing your whole family sick actually make you smile?
People will go to family gatherings even if they're sick, and hide that they are, because faaaaamily. Also, children are little disease factories.
I try hard to avoid family events with school age children. Snotty, and sneeze dripping plague rats are what they really are.
not the op, but i would assume that some of the participants were already verifiably sick before the event...
