Aibu to avoid friend just home from Asia

[naturallydelicious]

My best friend has just returned from 6 months travelling Asia . I had said I'd would hold off seeing her until she was home 2 weeks , and was sure she hadn't got the coronavirus . She was laughing about how everyone was wearing face masks and she didn't bother because it was too warm . Now I know I suffer a bit from health anxiety and this is playing a big part in this.
Just to add I have just finished a 6 week course of antibiotics so the thoughts of getting ill again is pushing me over the edge !
I also have 2 disabled children and my husband works away Monday to Friday so can't afford to be sick .
My friend is annoyed and thinks I'm being very unreasonable. Am I ?

"Asia" is a big place...

@GinDaddy you're right . She was in China and south east Asia

South East Asia still covers 11 countries!!!! Where has she been exactly in the last say 3 weeks?

I'm having this problem too, friend is in Singapore coming back next week, thinks I'm really strange for being wary of meeting up.

🤦🏻‍♀️

I think anyone coming home from any of the countries mentioned in the list produced by the government should really hold off from socialising for a while until they are sure they have no symptoms.

My friend has terrible asthma (Brittle Asthma) and another of our friends is home form Thailand soon. She herself said she wouldn't meet up with Asthma friend for 2 weeks to be on the safe side.

If you have health anxiety you don't HAVE to meet up for a couple of weeks if you don' want to and any decent friend would understand that surely?

I don't think you're being U op. Lots will, lots won't. Thing is no-one knows at the moment what's really safe and what isn't. Do what YOU are happy with is my suggestion, especially with the conditions you have of disabled children and your own health etc.
Your friend can suck it up.
