Feeling guilty over support bubble

[dirtybubble]

Elderly aunt requested we form a support bubble today. We have been taking her shopping twice a week dropping prescription etc but only at the door no real
Contact.
No other family nearby she is cv and has a lot of hospital appt as previously had cancer
I feel awful as she asked to form a bubble and I had to say no 😞 she said she can’t get public transport as too worried now but needs to go to appts but I don’t want to drive as i have a baby who would need to be in the car too.
I feel guilty but I have to put my child first bit I felt mean saying no

The volunteer driver service in our area is still running.

Can your aunt get a taxi? That's what I had to do when I couldn't drive to hospital appointments.

Can’t believe the nonsense that people are putting on here. You would absolutely notice if your 3 month old caught covid. It does happen. Babies aren’t immune and don’t have a super power that stops them getting really sick - actress Jessie Cave is in the news today as her 3 month old is ill in hospital with it. I wouldn’t be taking my 3 month old anywhere he doesn’t absolutely have to be - Because as his mum, it’s my responsibility to take care of him, and for me to decide what is too much of a risk. And I’ll pick his well-being over that of anyone else.

I might be being dim here but

How old is she? Has she never been able to drive?

Could she afford taxis if she had to?

If she calls the GP what do they suggest the elderly do in such cases?

I saw in the news today that someone on Harry Potter has a 3mo baby that is very poorly in hospital with covid.

You sound nice, your poor aunt. There's little to no risk to you doing this and the more your baby goes in the car seat the quicker she'll settle in it. If you don't want to do it fair enough but don't lie to yourself about why and ask others to back you up to make yourself feel better. Hope you don't find yourself in your aunt's position one day.

Has anyone answered the question why there is no risk to the OP and her baby? The aunt is going into hospital multiple times where a high proportion of people contract COVID

There is of course risk of infection, but there is little risk of serious illness or death. Whereas the aunt's risk of infection remains higher, and her risk of death is hugely elevated.

We aren't doing lockdown etc to stop people feeling a bit poorly, but to stop serious illness and death, of which the op and her baby are about as low risk as you can get.
