Coronavirus family drama - supposed to take a vacation to OCNJ in two weeks with the in-laws, two brother-in-laws and their wives. MIL is super worried about the virus. Wants everyone to isolate and get tested. We are. Already doing this, but no testing. Debating whether it’s even worth it to go anymore. I’m worried about things too, but I feel like she is being hypersensitive. What’s the point?

Sorry OP, but you sound like the “hypersensitive” one...considering not going on a family vacation just because an older woman, your husband’s mother, wants people to get a simple test to ensure no one puts others at risk. I would do anything to put my parents at ease, that’s because I love them. I would do the same for my husband. Ps. The virus will be around for a while, you never know when it will affect your family. Cherish these times while you still have the opportunity.

Genuinely curious- what if someone tests negative and then uses a public transport or relaxes and visits grocery stores without taking precautions? They can still contract the disease since noone seems too know how it is spread exactly. Will the negative test result still provide the level of comfort to others?

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her.

I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
