Isolation question

[Boop79]

Probably be slammed. My anxiety is through the roof though.

There maybe be a case in one of my children’s bubble. Tested but no result but if positive obviously my child will likely have to isolate which is fine. I’m hoping it’ll be negative for the child and everyone else’s sake.

But I am have a very important appointment at the hospital next week. If DS doesn’t get symptoms I assume I can still go myself?

Obviously I’ll cancel if he did have symptoms.

Also, say if If DS had to isolate could he go in the car with hubby to drop me off at app? If he was to remain in the car at all times (he would have come anyway as it’s out of school hours and would have stayed in the car then). It’s just that I don’t really want to drive there as I’m a bit nervous about the whole appointment.

I know I’m thinking far ahead here when there’s not even a possible result yet 😭

Aibu for him to be in the car not being in contact with anyone during isolation? I mean he will literally have no contact with anyone. He’ll just be in the car on the iPad with the windows up.

Fingers crossed said child will be negative! There are no other cases known at the school.

You can go to your hospital appointment as long as your son doesn’t develope symptoms

I understand it maybe hard but hubbie should stay at home with your son as he shouldn’t be going out at all

Hope it works out for u

That’s what I thought! Just annoying as he’s booked the day off as unsure whether I’ll feel like driving 😭 but it is what it is at this point!

Well it was fine for the cummings family to go on a hundreds of mile car journey all in the same car with Covid - and then they all got it.

A car is a confined environment generally with air recirculating - doesn't seem a great idea.

I get that @EveryDayIsADuvetDay. I was only
Considering it if he was symptom free and it’s not hundreds of miles away but I’ll drive alone if it comes to it. It’s not far just unsure on the app and what it will entail! I’m just panicking at the minute. The said test will be negative hopefully 🤞

Obviously if he wasn’t symptom free I would cancel my app ^ 😃

Dd is isolating at the moment and we have taken her out in the car - I can't see how this increases the risk to anyone as she is not coming into contact with anyone. We have stuck to non motorway roads so that should be we break down, dh could come get her in the other car and I would deal with the recovery etc, so she wouldn't be a risk in that situation either.

Dd is 6 BTW and very very cuddley, so can't see a car journey being worse than her being on my lap whcih I am absolutely not going to stop

You are aware it's been 6 MONTHS since Cummings drove to Durham?

@Findahouse21 It’s hard to know what’s best isn’t it so I’ll probably drive alone even though like you say there is no contact. It’s not far from home just it’s a mix of things going on at the minute.

I’m hoping said child will be negative which could be likely as there’s barely any cases in the area.

I was surprised today though. A friend of mine had a child (different area and school) who started 2 week isolation last week and she’s posted photos on social media of him out and about outside with her and his elderly nanny so that’s very bizarre!

On another note, what happens when you have more than one child? Say for instance DS had to isolate but younger Dd could go into school. How do I drop Dd off? (DS isn’t old enough to be left home alone). Hubsand works long hours but can do some school runs in the week but what about the others it’s only me? Would Dd have to stay off if I can’t get her there??

@boop79 I assume if your isolating dc is too young to be left at home while you do the school run then you would need someone to help you out - I've taken anothrr dc to school when her mum was on her last day of isolation, as her and dd are in the same bubble.
