I used to think communication was the key until I realized comprehension is. You can communicate all you want with someone but if they don’t understand you, its silent chaos.
Just because the COVID symptoms you had weren’t bad & you recovered just fine doesn’t mean “COVID isn’t a big deal”.. just be thankful you didn’t have to go through something worse
In times of Covid, if someone says they are not comfortable in attending an event of a large gathering, you really should be understanding about it. That's it. No further explanation needed. If you're gonna be offended about it, that's on you.
