My gut is this is a reckless idea, I’m an expat in a safe country, but there is family pressure to make it happen.
Any insights would really help
Not sure how significant family pressure is to you, but if it's important, and it matters that much, then go ahead and plan a trip. Just do so cautiously, knowing what you know...
ToothSayer is right
However, if I'm in your position, then I'm openly stating let's wait. Unless I feel a compelling reason to move forward with a family gathering, I'm seeing no reason not to just have patience. The last thing I would want to do is be unlucky, suffer harm or death or be the cause of it to a family member, and merely a month later there's a vaccine or an effective treatment
It's not a big deal either way. You're not an ******* for wanting to live like a human being. Just be rational and cautious. And live. There's nothing wrong with telling fam hey let's just wait and see. Another few months is not a big deal, is it? Staying home in fear, yes, is one way of being a fish at life. However, not all people choosing to stay home are fish at life. Just be smart about it
