Right. So they were at 95% last year without a novel virus that was causing an increase in ICU demand.

And Houston has had like 20k cases in 15 days and it moved them up 2%. Also Houston started dropping in cases since around 6/16 if you go by their own dashboard.

And the concern would be the tens of thousands of cases in TX identified in the last few weeks leads to more hospitalizations. the stress on the healthcare providers occurred in the weeks following the lockdown in NYC.

NYS’s peak death came two and a half weeks after their stay at home order.

TX’s surge started 3 weeks ago.

So basically business as usual, because all the wimps who complain about not being able to breath with a mask on can just point to this and say "See? I dont need to wear one".

Yeah. We had to reschedule our June wedding to July 2021. We rescheduled everything along with it including bachelor/bachelorette parties and shower. If we can't safely have a wedding, we can't safely have the parties that go with it. It sucks and I'm sure the bride is bummed, but at the same time who wants to have a bachelorette party 9 months before the wedding?

The one wedding I'm in is still going through on the 18th of this month. They've had to limit people that will be at the service, which would be a blessing for those who got cut out because it's going to be a very Catholic wedding

[nocera]

That's true. It's better than nothing, I suppose. I also find it odd that their cut-off is 9 years old while the CDC says anyone under the age of 2. How did they land on 9 years old?

[King Colby]

Lots of places are using under 10. Idk, there's no way my almost 3 yr old would keep one on but technically its required

Honestly, if I were you I'd go ahead and get hitched now with just a private ceremony via whatever mechanism is available to you, and just delay the party to next year. Get the legal bit out of the way asap.

This. Weddings aren’t worth the money spent on them.

If it were up to me, we would've been at the court house tying the knot a long time ago. Luckily, there is literally no change in our situation whether we're married or not. We live together, own a house, share a bank account, all that good stuff. My fiancé wants the big celebration to happen at the same time as the legal wedding and who am I to argue with her on that. I've been with her over 10 years now, I know better.

Sure, that was the Before Times. There are something like 1,300 different rights and obligations that confer to each party upon marriage (things like automatic inheritance, tax benefits, etc), and maybe a global health crisis isn't the best timing to take a principled stand on 'weddings'.

^TL;DR you dum

Well, PSL postponed the start of their summer leagues

Who is taking a principled stand? We are fine. I appreciate the concern I suppose.

Now is not the time to be like, "the big celebration [has] to happen at the same time as the legal wedding", imo.

I've been pleasantly surprised at how chill my 2 year old is with wearing a mask. She wears it through a good bit of the day at daycare. When I drop her off in the morning there's zero fight in getting it on her.

I don't really see what difference it makes, especially if we're both content and happy with our current situation.

[NTP66]

I think my 7 year old would be able to handle a mask for school full time if it came to it, but I’m not sure about kids younger than that.

Source of the post Is Miami still locked down? That might actually be one of the few cities in Florida where the bars are still closed.

Yes, all the bars are closed. There's literally zero point in going to Miami for a bachelorette party that your wedding isn't for 9 more months.

Then save yourself the expense and don't bother with the wedding at all.

I'm just saying, if you are going to do it there's no real reason to defer imo. I don't mean to sound judgy or preachy, but it doesn't make sense to me to forestall the legal part if the only reason you're doing it is so it happens contemporaneously with the woohoo party time bit.

This now has nothing to do with the thread topic. I’m doing what my fiancé wants to do because it’s her wedding too. As far as insurance or taxes go, we’re fine. As far as the cost of the wedding goes, we’re fine. We’re paying for it ourselves and will have plenty of savings left over even after the wedding expense. As far as COVID19 goes, it forced us to push back the date due to safety. It is what it is. If we get to July 2021 and it’s still not safe, we’ve already discussed eloping.

Based on the accumulated data since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the infectious period of SARS-CoV-2 in symptomatic individuals may begin around 2 days before the onset of symptoms, and persists for about 7 - 10 days after the onset of symptoms. Active viral replication drops quickly after the first week, and viable virus was not found after the second week of illness despite the persistence of PCR detection of RNA.

[grunthy]

Basically you are contagious for 9-12 days. So making people test negative two times after having it for two weeks isn’t apparently necessary.
