12. Most likely they will be affected.

My daughter's in laws love to cook and have big dinner parties, and we always go. We haven't heard yet this year if they're still going to do them.

Strictly speaking, they shouldn't, since none of us live with them. But I'm not sure. If we hear that they are going ahead, we will send our regrets. It's just not safe for me and my husband.

It makes me sad.
