Posted this to a family chat with people who have expressed their vibes getting ruined by the covid caution of me and my partner and how they dislike the way it makes them feel guilty when we ask them not to show up to family gatherings while sick. Family members who gave us covid by showing up for Christmas dinner visibly sick.

Our long covid symptoms have gotten so much worse from it, I spend my days with debilitating nausea currently. My partner is even higher risk and I was given this exact line: “While I get your need to protect you partnet, I feel your “fear of the virus” is ruining these family gatherings”. All I asked for was to make sure nobody comes to a gathering sick.
