A few days ago, my nan got talking to a carer that visits to check up on my grandad. During the conversation she mentioned that her son and husband were both at home in isolation because they were ill with a cough and had been for more than a week. This carer had visited just a few days previously to this visit so they would have been isolating too then. Well guess who now has a cough and difficulty breathing? My extemely vulnerable 85 year old grandad who suffers with Diabetes, Angina, Dementia and Arthritis. A different carer came today (because the previous one is now off sick), noticed his symptoms and promptly called an ambulance. They spoke to a doctor at the hospital (my grandad is in and out quite a lot) who told them to leave him at home. The reason being that if he hasn't got coronavirus then he'll probably catch it in hospital so he's safer at home. They won't test him though and have said to only ring again if his breathing gets worse by which time I think it will be too late to help.
Aibu to blame the carer and make a complaint? I know she has a job to do and she needs to pay her bills but surely she should know better than to go and see vulnerable people while her household is isolating themselves with covid-19 symptoms. Because they won't test, we obviously don't know for sure if he's caught it but if he has then he can't have picked it up anywhere else as he never leaves the house. He's either sleeping, in pain or sat in his chair where he's very comfortable and my nan is with him the whole time although she's likes gardening so is in her garden once a day. Family visit twice a week but never when they or anyone in their house is ill. I'm now convinced we're going to lose him because his carer flouted the self isolation rules and I'm so angry and sad thinking about the other vulnerable people she's visited.
