to not want to get dd from uni?

[Noideawottodo]

She's been isolating at her bfs house for 14 days. He and all his flatmates tested positive for covid. She developed symptoms, fever, cough, sore throat. Didn't get tested just assumed she had it. That was 10 days ago.

She wants to go back to her own house in a couple of days when she's done 14 days. But a flatmate in that house has just tested positive, if she goes there she will have to isolate again for 14 days.

She's really struggling. She's had a row with her boyf and can't bear to stay there for much longer. Her proper house mates didn't want her there as one is vulnerable.

Anyway she wants to come home. I don't want her home as I can't risk my other dcs getting it before they are due to go back to school in 10 days (they are having a 2 week half term). She says she'll self isolate in her bedroom, but i will have to collect her in the car and drive her home for 2 hours so if she still has it I will catch it?

I'm very confused and don't know what to do for the best.

@Bluntness100

It’s very sad what Covid has brought some people to. Rejecting your own child like this, to even consider it. 😟

Exactly. People have lost their plots. Genuinely mine boggled like what the actual heck..

Mind*

If she does this for 10 days if she does that for 14 days, boyfriend, housemates, has she had it has she not had it who cares!!! blah blah blah.... go get your daughter, she needs her mum.
Then throw her in her bedroom lol

Bring her home, her BF doesn't want her nor do her housemates by the sound of it. She seems to be prepared to self isolate to help her Sister. It's total chaos at the Universities anyway .

I got Covid. It ain't no frickin' cakewalk. This scourge kills people. I was still positive after 2 weeks. They don't know everything about Covid. Seriously, would you rather not see your child for 10 days in a motel room or lose her to death? Choose your poison.

Bloody hell! What a question! Just go and get her - she's your daughter!!

Cremeeggthief. I consider myself to be independent and have coped very well with the Lockdown and all the uncertainty since it was lifted. I have Mental Health issues and while I do ok by and large, it's good to know that help is out there be it my parents or friends. So many people accuse each other of being weak or Snowflakes on the internet but we don't know what they have to cope with. One person may cope well being on their own, someone else may struggle horrendously with it so just go easy on the OP. She wanted to get her Daughter home.

Ignoreequally,

To be sure she is free from the virus. People can be infectious until they test negative

COVID-19 alert
Common question
Can a patient spread the coronavirus disease even after symptoms disappear?

People infected with COVID-19 can still infect others after they stop feeling sick, so these measures should continue for at least two weeks after symptoms disappear.

Visitors should not be allowed until the end of this period.

What is your source?

That's not UK advice

WHO website

UK advice is to try and stopping people from having too many tests. She still feeling exhausted she probably has the virus. I don't think comes with a precise timetable when to stop spreading

@dementedpixie

That's not UK advice

Yeah, we aren't doing that.

She's had it. She was never near death.

Noid,
, Have you heard of Covid long haulers? She could drop dead from heart failure in 2 months or a year from now. I have complications to this day and have been hospitalized 5 times. Trust me, you should not take Covid as a passing cold. It is deadly and it has far reaching complications that Dr's are just now getting their head around. She should err on the side of utmost caution.

Of course you need to go and get her. Don't treat her like she has ebola!

She has already collected her dd

I can’t believe you’re even asking this? Go and get your child!

I'd get her both wear masks and then she isolates....unless you know someone with a 2nd hand caravan n Park it in your garden.

She's your daughter and you don't want her at home ?

Bring her home! It's not even a question, shes your child she has no safe place to stay.

@Noideawottodo

Timeline - October 8th, boyf tests positive as do his flatmates. Dd tests negative but quarantines with them because her proper house don't want her to bring cv back to them October 12 - she develops bad symptoms of cv

October 22 - she is feeling better, looking forward to returning to her house but now someone there has tested positive which means if she returns another 14 day quarantine.
Boyf is going home to parents

People only have to isolate for 10 days after developing symptoms if the main symptoms subside by then . She has isolated for10 days from her symptoms starting and is feeling better and very unlikely to be infectious any more . She is probably the least risky person to be around in your whole family now for a couple of months as she is unlikely to catch it again soon, so very unlikely to pass it on !

@Seriouslymole

I honestly cannot compute the way the world has turned on this. There is another thread on here asking if their 12 year old should be isolated in his bedroom for 14 days.

Come on people, please. Don't lose sight of the important things in life. These are your CHILDREN. Treat them with love. For most people covid has minimal impact - please, just bring her home.

This. This thread is messing with my head. I can't believe what I'm seeing.

And the poster who wouldn't drive 4 hours to collect her child for ANY REASON. Dear God.

You might want to ask for this to be deleted since you’ve already collected her. Glad you managed to. Sorry she’s so thin. Time for feeding her up
And letting her sleep by the sounds of it
