Disclaimer: I'm not fully vaccinated because I'm worried about irregularity of my periods.
My Dad has terminal cancer and has been given days/weeks. We've always been close so I'm absolutely devastated. He had a Covid test before going to the hospital and it's basically inconclusive (a weak result) but they're treating it as a positive case - even though he has NO symptoms and neither does anyone in the household. My Mum was contacted by Track & Trace and she forgot to mention my name when asked who she has been in contact with.
It's been three days since seeing my Dad and I've taken three LFT tests - all negative. No friends or family who've had contact with Dad in these past few weeks have had any symptoms of Covid and the hospital have confirmed my Dad has no symptoms, despite being terminally ill!
I know the law requires me to isolate for ten days, but to be blunt, I don't know if my mental health can take it right now. My DS can be very challenging and he needs a lot of fresh air and stimulation. I've told my friends the situation and they're happy to see me as they're fully vaccinates, anyway. DH is telling me that rules are rules and I need to follow them. So I don't know what to do!?
