Just been sick. Do I cancel hosting?

[DancingHippos]

DD was vomiting on Sat so we kept her in until today. She was totally fine in herself other than throwing up.
We have been here with her before so we use gloves, masks, disinfectant sprays and wash everything.
However, I have just been sick. We are supposed to be hosting my parents, my brother and one aunt on Wednesday.
DH is in bed with a cold - the rest of us have had one already.
So should we no longer go ahead with hosting?
We have bought everything but I'm concerned about my dad who is immunocomprimised due to having had a heart attack a few years ago. He is careful around crowds these days since getting covid a couple of years ago and it really effecting him badly.

Of course you shouldn’t go ahead.

You cancel.

I would (mum is immunocompromised, we've had to make decisions like this before). When DS was small he'd sometimes vomit when congested so I'd let people know and let them make their own choice, but an adult vomiting when there have been others ill in the household definitely points at something more unpleasant than a simple cold, and contagious. At least give them a heads up now while they've got time to replan and do any necessary food shopping.

Yes cancel. Sad for you though

Well there are 2 questions:

1. are you well enough to cook and have people round etc?
2. do they want to come /is there a risk you'll infect them? I think you need to make them let the call on 2). But wise to let people know now so they can get back-up food for themselves if they're not going to be with you.

I would cancel, I’m so sorry, what a shame.

I think you do have to cancel unfortunately. It's just not worth the risk. I'm so sorry, it's awful to have Christmas ruined at short notice, but it isn't your fault

I would cancel for sure as you'll be touching all the food and I'd never want to pass anything on for the holidays. Hopefully you don't feel too awful and can enjoy a peaceful day.

I think you should cancel. The very least would be to let everyone know so they can make a choice.

Sorry, it's rubbish.

OK I will tell them but you have all confirmed what I have been thinking. So sad. We planned it months ago. DD is disabled and puts everything in her mouth. However think she got something from school

Well I wouldn’t want to come round. You have to cancel. It’s really unfair to make others ill.

The health risk isn't worth it, sounds like 2 nasty bugs going on. Sadly postpone and quarantine. Xx

Yeah you need to tell them OP. Do it tonight though.

Cancel.

I'd postpone . Definately would not want to risk passing it onto others

Too risky not to cancel. Any chance you can reschedule to New Year's Day?

Postpone by a few days. Freeze the food. Better than cancelling.

Hopefully it's just a postpone for a day or 2?

It depends on how you feel ie if you are up for entertaining

If they want to come - you need to give them a heads up

Maybe do new year dinner instead
Get well soon

Just ask your guests what they want to do.

Cancel tonight so they have a chance to go to bed early and get to the shops tomorrow.

Have a make up dinner next week if you can.

Could you rearrange for NYD on the proviso that you’ve had 48 hours all clear beforehand?

If you cancel now, it gives them the chance to nip out and get some shopping tomorrow.

The puke then cold bug that is going around is v infectious and a horrible one. I’m on week four and just finally starting to ease.
I would cancel.
Hope you all get better soon

Cancel, cancel, cancel. One of my relatives was vomiting all last night and I really want to ask them/ their family not to come, but it is outside the 48 hour rule so I think I need to let it slide unfortunately.
