My elderly mum lives in a draughty, Victorian mid-terrace house. Two members of the family in the house next door have just tested positive for Covid.
Now LOGICALLY I know that the risk of her catching it through a wall is miniscule / non-existent. She has no interaction with them really. They don't really speak to her. So LOGICALLY I know that unless she actually goes outside and licks the next-door neighbour's gate there's no real cause for concern, but there's this nagging worry in the back of my mind. What if it's the new super strain? What if there's a big hole in the walls between the two houses? What if...? I know. Even writing it down feels ridiculous.
She is supposed to be shielding - pneumonia damaged lungs. She's weeks away (maybe a month or two) from her jab... We've not seen her other than in one or other's garden for almost a year.
Could someone please shake some sense into me? I'm really annoyed with my inability to respond to clear logic!
