I would really like to abstain but my family doesn't take covid seriously and would likely ostracize me. I've tried to explain that I work in a school and I'm the most likely in our group to be carrying, but that doesn't go far with them.

Now is the time to stand on your principals & do what you know is right. It may upset your family in the short term, but you'll be able to look back & know you did the right thing. Imagine you gather, you find out you had Covid and gave it to a relative who later dies of it. How will that feel? What if you are "a bit sick" and a relative dies of Covid afterward and you never know if you were the one who gave it to them?

Make the choice that lets you sleep easy at night & be able to say "even though it was hard, I did the right thing." Standing up for what's right isn't always easy.
