To tell sick son he can’t come over?

My 20 year old son is in university about half an hour away from my house, he has his own apartment there, he moved out at the start of the summer. He’s been doing a placement near us and has just messaged to say he’s getting a taxi over to mine as it’s closest because he’s started throwing up uncontrollably..

Its a week before Christmas, I’ve still got loads to do, we’re a house of 6 people including two small children and to be frank I don’t want a stomach bug coming in at this point. Would I be the worst mum in the world to tell him to go home instead???

Also extremely unpleasant for the taxi driver if he's "throwing up uncontrollably" 🤨

Difficult one.

Can you go to his place, keep your distance but make sure he has everything he needs?

WTF!? No you absolutely would not be unreasonable OP, what a shocking lack of awareness he's displaying. Why won't he just go home?
