Group of old friends, regularly meet, with and without kids. Have been starting to do outdoors socially distanced activities since the lockdown eased.
One of the group is critical care nurse who has been and is still working with Covid patients, both on ICU and on the recovery wards. Clearly we are immensely proud of her and have been incredibly worried about her throughout.
We've got a few things planned in over the next couple of weeks and she has said she is looking forward to coming - obviously I've missed her along with lots of others.
Mentioned it to DP in passing this morning, and his reaction was no way should you be meeting her with our young child and baby.
Sat down and thought about it and no I don't think I should be. What do other people think? My DP's point was we've just started seeing our parents again (all over 70) and it seems very risky. And now thinking back we had a conversation (friends) about seeing parents/grandparents when that eased a few weeks ago, and she said she didn't want to whilst she was still working with Corona patients as she was worried about passing it on....we recently suggested just her kids going and she said no she'd be worried she might give it to them, they'd be asymptomatic and pass it on.
I'm now thinking hang on a minute, but you'd be ok to potentially pass it on to us and our kids, to then potentially pass on to our parents?!? I would never, ever say anything to her or anyone else but think it needs serious consideration, especially if she's worried about spreading it.
