how do u feel about someone vaccinated, from a covid filled home visiting you?

[Sophie1029734]

I've had covid and I dont want it again, it's the isolation aspect of it. Family member wants to visit to see lo, 2 people living there have covid. she keeps uses the vaccination card but I dont like the idea of her comeing from a covid filled home, straight to us. You can you still spread it with the vaccine?? She thinks she can visit any1 who has covid because shes immune with the vaccinations, I swear people be makeing up there own rules.

Anyway, how would you feel about them visiting you? Would you be bothered?

I wouldn't allow them to visit. She's not immune to covid because she's had vaccinations, I know more who've had it since being vaccinated than ever had it before!

The guidelines say you are "strongly advised" to limit close contact with others if you have a household member with covid. Obviously visiting you would not be limiting close contact. I wouldn't be OK with this and she should not be asking.

Nope

It's selfish of them to ask tbh

No, would ask them to wait.

No she is being thoughtless. We are triple jabbed but still got it. I didn’t feel well and had to isolate for about 12 day until flow test showed clear.

I wouldn't be impressed with anyone turning up when they didn't really need to, with any kind of contagious airborne illness.

If they weren't showing symptoms I wouldn't mind once the need to isolate is no longer a legal requirement - but I cannot currently afford not to work for up to 10 days when I have no symptoms, so I'm not willing to take that risk at the moment.

Well you didn't have to do that. You can come out of iso after 10 days whether you're still testing positive or not.

I've had it twice, both times I got it I was fully vaccinated so she's completely wrong

I think for what is basically a social visit she should stop away.

I definitely wouldn't allow it

It's a no from me.

No; vaccinated doesn’t mean you can’t catch it and/or transmit it. Vaccinated have been awesome for reducing severity of illness not stopping it

No way.

No, I wouldn't want that. You say 'wants to visit LO' - do you mean you've just had a baby? I would want to avoid a small baby getting it for as long as possible.

I would be very bothered & wouldn’t open the door to them.

Totally selfish.

me and DS currently have covid, DH is therefore a very close contact but is testing negative and still required to go to work - he is a teacher.

I wouldn't be happy with what your family member is suggesting though.

Not if you still have certain symptoms I don't think?

Sorry that was meant to quote @LindaEllen who questioned why a PP isolated for 12 days

Not for a social thing that can be postponed by a fortnight.

Nope, I'm incredibly chilled about this whole covid thing now, but I wouldn't like that. It's unnecessary.

I wouldn't care. My husband has been working in covid filled homes from the beginning (nhs frontline).

Although it looks like from end of Feb there won't be a requirement to isolate with Covid..

From our experience I've learnt that you can have mild symptoms (which you'd normally ignore), but then take 1.5-2.5 days to test positive, so don't agree even if she's saying she's got a negative LFT.

She is free to go out, but that doesn't mean you have to have her in your home. You've had it once, know how it's affected you - if she cares, she'd respect that.

I totally understand how you feel by the way, OP. I currently have it, don't want to feel so ill again for a long time, take time off work, I've currently got it, don't want to be ill again, take time off work, oh and miss out on planned evenings out/holidays.

I would be curious about their household experience.
I don't care about getting sick but depending on timing, having to self-isolate could be quite annoying.
