One of my wife's cousins is attempting to organize a cousins' gathering.
We used to have those at least annually, with all of the cousins and their families showing up for food, conversation, music, and more. The gathering usually numbered about two dozen attendees, and we all looked forward to them. We hosted a couple of them, and everyone sort of takes turns.
Enter Covid-19.
So, my wife's cousin sent out a Facebook Messenger note to open a discussion about where and when we might have one in 2021.
My wife and I asked, "Is everyone fully vaccinated?" The answer to that question is unclear. We know of at least one family that has had no vaccinations at all, and there's another family that we suspect has not been vaccinated but who won't answer that question. About others, we don't know, really. Then, there are the young children who cannot be, but who are in child day care regularly.
My wife and I are sticking to our decision not to gather with groups that contain unvaccinated people, so it's unlikely we'll attend this. But, we raised the question because it needs to be raised still. Odds are that no such gathering will occur this year. It's too bad, too. If everyone had gotten their vaccinations, it would be fun, as usual. But, we don't know, and people are too polite to insist that people answer that question. So, not this year, sadly.
