I spent Monday-Friday last week on holiday with a friend who thought he had a cold. He found out on Saturday when he got back (when still feeling bad and doing a test) that it wasn’t a cold, but actually Covid. He’s feeling a bit better now.
Ive tested a couple of times the last two days, and coming up negative so far. My partner says we have to go out shopping together tomorrow to buy some important stuff for relatives, which would require us to get my parents (approx 70 years old, vaccinated, but never had Covid) to look after our son. I’m reluctant to ask them to do it just in case I still come up positive in the next couple of days. We wouldn’t be spending a lot of time with my parents, but would be in the same room for an hour or so when we get back, and of course there’s a risk I’ve passed it on to DS already (who they’ll be looking after) if I actually do have it myself.
Anyway, partner thinks I’m being overly cautious re. risk of Covid…. I’ve said I can get the stuff myself, but she says I won’t be able to buy there right stuff, manage it myself (which is possibly correct - won’t bore with the details here though as it’s not really relevant) and is annoyed with me for being overly cautious (“you very likely don’t have Covid”, “it’s already been four days since you got back” etc ). So, am I being overly cautious?
