Going out with chicken pox

[Rosebel]

Would you take your child out if you needed to go shopping?
Just moved so no friends or family to ask and at the moment can't afford the £4.50 delivery charge.
Would you risk it or am I being unreasonable (I rather suspect I am but not sure what else to do, so any suggestions welcome).

"If a pregnant woman gets varicella in her first or early second trimester, her baby has a small risk (0.4 to 2.0%) of being born with congenital varicella syndrome. The baby may have scarring on the skin; abnormalities in limbs, brain, and eyes, and low birth weight.

If a woman develops varicella rash from 5 days before to 2 days after delivery, the newborn will be at risk for neonatal varicella. Historically, the mortality rate for neonatal varicella was reported to be about 30%, but the availability of VZV immune globulin and intensive supportive care have reduced the mortality to about 7%."

Don't go out with it, regardless of what people might be doing now with covid, chicken pox is contagious and can be dangerous. As can any illness. Common sense surely.

No. Your husband will have to go to the shop for you instead.

Wow.

You know you're shouldn't.

Why TF would you revive a ZOMBIE THREAD about this? This is from 15 months ago FFS!
