Its a 10 hour drive across Texas...and Ive definitely been in contact with someone whos treated Coronavirus patients.

It doesnt seem wise to go. He said like 150 people have confirmed as of a few weeks ago. Hes more of a coworker than a friend, but weve worked together for 3 years now and he was nice enough to invite me.

But with this pandemic, it doesnt seem wise to drive 10 hours for this wedding. Especially when I might have the virus.

No, absolutely not. I would expect many others to not attend either.

Thats kind of what Im thinking. I know a lot of people going are most likely flying. And airports seem even more risky at this point.

Whats the best way to let him know Im not going? Ive never had to back out of a wedding before...Im not a groomsman or anything though. Just a guest

No. You'd be a pussy. But in times like these, being a pussy is what we need to be. Being a pussy will save us

I think the worst part would be if Im in fact sick, drive 10 hours, then start getting symptoms. Driving 10 hours home with Coronavirus sounds miserable.

This

Damn I didn't even think about how weddings are being affected by this. Usually you gotta confirm number of guests early for the catering company. People are probably forking over $5k for food and only using half of it.

Some version of this. Any normal person would understand. Also, if you're not in the wedding it's at worst a minor bummer that you dont show. Dude has a lot going on that day.

I have a couple weddings coming up thar I have to rsvp for. I'm really hoping they postpone or cancel them. I know there's a lot of money involved but a large gathering with a bunch of old people at a time like this is a bad idea.

In your case simce you've been in contact with someone who might have it you have a perfect excuse not to go.

If you RSVPed you should go. Otherwise they're paying for an empty seat

Here in Armenia until recently we had 1 confirmed quarantined case.....until some rural asshead flew back from Italy, hid their symptoms and went to a wedding, infecting 3 others and putting around 6 people in quarantine. Go figure.

Better then paying to catch Coronavirus/spread corona to their family/friends and possibly kill their elderly family members

Just call early and tell them to cancel the seat? Im sure they can talk it out with the event organizer, especially considering the current state of things.
