Default how many of you are still hopeful your event will still happen ?

so i have a event in vegas on the second week of december .i contacted the event organizers and they are telling me the event still has the green light . the venue holds 8,000 people and they are only allowing the v.i.p. ticket holders to attend which is roughly 800 people . i dont understand how this can go on ? absolutely everything continues to get canceled .

the governor of nevada stated yesterday that if covid numbers continue to rise he will lock it down .

i have several concerns

possibly getting sick on the trip is number one

but if i do go , i have to quarantine for 2 weeks or take a test ? i contacted human resources at work and they told me they didnt know if i could collect unemployment , so i called unemployment myself . they said i could . i told my employer this and they are saying i got the wrong info ?

also the possibility of a travel ban going into effect while im in vegas . i asked my human resources again how they would handle that ? of course i havent gotten a answer yet .

im better off just canceling the trip and getting my refunds now before it is too late . there is way too much that can go wrong .

It’s not even worth trying to go at this point.

We had a Disney trip planned at the end of March, which seems like eons ago now. It took us 5 months of constant calling to finally get all our refunds issued.

The next trip I’m planning will involve driving and little to no other human interaction if necessary.

Rent an RV, my wife and kids and every National Park we can fit into 2 weeks.

No more events until 2022-23. Strangers are overrated anyway.

My event is that I’m at home watching football with a cold IPA, carrots, and hummus. Outlook is good. Thanks for asking.

My mom and I were supposed to visit my brother, who is stationed in Hawaii, in April of 2020. It got cancelled and we were unable to plan another trip before he comes home next month.

We were planning a Disney Trip for January 2021 but decided to hold off and see what happens.

I am supposed to get married on 12/5. As of now, we are going to do what we can but there will be no dancing or meeting and greeting. Really sad about it but trying to make the best of it. Moving it to next year might not be the greatest idea since who knows if things will be much better. I understand and support DeWine's decisions in Ohio as this is getting more out of hand than it did when it first started.

I get so pissed off when I see videos of local bars and restaurants allowing people to carry on as if nothing is happening.

Still, at the end of the day, I'm grateful that my fiancé and I have been healthy, kept our employment, and are still able to get married in some shape or form this year. That is, if Ohio doesn't implement stricter rules similar to what our neighbor Michigan is doing.

How do you know I was disagreeing with you and not the other way around?

I think it is inevitable that DeWine shuts restaurants and bars down . Being my industry. we are hearing a minimum of 1 week. But i expect longer will be announced.

We had a lot of events booked throughout the year and most of them have been cancelled the good thing is all the refund money that is hitting our account.

Had to cancel trips in April (Vegas) and May (Mexico) respectively.

GF and I did a road trip last month through CA/NV/UT for some national parks and hiking/nature/etc., and a Vegas stay on the way back. Before that, our last vacation was Disneyland in January pre-lockdowns.

Feeling safer to travel via road-trips, but the street crowds in Vegas had me nervous even if a majority were good about masking. (Casinos weren't too packed though.)

Haven't been on a flight since that January Disney trip. Might take some drives to Napa/LA in the coming month or so, have some PTO I need to use or lose by year-end.
