Narrative:

I'm attending recurrent [on date] with a huge group of people; I know it's too late for me; however why do they think it's appropriate to gather a mass of highly susceptible people into the same tiny room for several hours; against government advisement; during a worldwide pandemic? My family is terrified I'm going to give them covid-19 and I think its highly irresponsible and dangerous to continue operations as normal as if nothing is going on. The last thing I wanted to do is be in a room surrounded with other flight attendants that are exposed to the same thing I am on a daily basis. It's completely irresponsible and does nothing; but help spread the virus. I know we are considered 'essential' but with everything going on things like this need to be adapted to provide social distancing and help prevent spreading the virus to other crew members and our passengers.
