To be annoyed

[LJM1993]

Hi,

A family member came round today who we don’t see often. Whilst she was here she mentioned her partner tested positive for covid on 26th December. Aibu to be annoyed that she didn’t inform us before visiting?

YANBU!

I’d be furious.

That’s what teachers have been putting up with for months and months. 5/6 of a family down with covid and child 6 comes in and spends the whole day at school

I completely agree. However the guidance does say to still send your child to school if someone at home is positive. Although I certainly wouldn't, personally

Yanbu.

That's not cricket, is it

What did you say to her?

Yes I would be annoyed too

People are inconsiderate

What is it with so many people lately going visiting but not telling people they're living with someone who's positive?

I mean, if you don't think Covid is a problem, then whatever. But at least give others the chance to decide if they want to socialise with you or not.

She just said name has covid and is isolating. I said how long has he had it and she said he was positive on the 26th. She said she’s fine as she tested negative today and yesterday but my understanding is if you are positive it can take a few days to show as positive, and you can still be contagious at this time. We was sat apart but I’m still very annoyed as my little one was playing with her

In relation to the guidelines in England, she hasn’t done anything wrong.
In relation to being a decent person? Well that’s another matter.
She definitely should have told you in advance and seen if you were happy to go ahead and see her.

This is the infuriating thing about the latest guidance. We had a child come into school saying his mum had covid. A week later the child tested positive, as did everyone on his table, then their siblings in other classes and their friendship groups, and no doubt their families aswell. It's maddening that we're facing tighter restrictions again when people are 'following guidance', which to most people is nonsense, yet some seem to think is perfectly acceptable!

But that’s the guidance isn’t it , Is it no surprise that it’s spreading so quickly. I do think people should let others know before you visit someone.

I’d be livid, and they would have been leaving straight away!

I’d be annoyed too but technically going by the latest guidance she’s done nothing wrong.

Imo the guidance is nonsense though.

And THIS is why we are not letting anyone in the house. I have been out about twice since I had Covid in early November, and have not been near my 82 year MIL. DH went round on Christmas Day after testing for 3 days before hand. It is just not worth the risk.

DD was supposed to be having a friend for a sleepover tonight but came to me really worried last night saying her friend is staying with her dad and his girlfriend and the girlfriend has covid. We've postponed the sleepover- I'm glad we were told!

The English guidance allows that - that's why it's crap.
