I have - once thus far...really there was only "extreme paranoia" level concerns which I disingenuously exaggerated in order to avoid a social event I didn't fancy. I have now identified an in-law who's just, very clearly, done the same. Is this practice very widespread I wonder...
"Why don't you come visit for the day, grandma would love to see you and we could view the slides of our holiday in Blackpool."
"Oh, I'd love to, but my friend's friend who I play chess with tested positive for COVID so I really can't risk being anywhere near a senior citizen."
"Oh of course, how gallant and responsible of you - some other time then."
ETA: probably shoulda put this in the "Humour" subforum - fell free to move it mods if you can be bothered.
