Would you self isolate or am I being over the top

Friend just called for a cuppa, in passing mentioned her DC may have Coronavirus and is being tested, school next to his is closed due to a case or more.

My point is me and both dc have chronic immuno conditions which could make coronvirus serious for us, question is do I self isolate away from my dc or carry on as normal?

Am I being over he top?

Given that your friend must be aware of your health issues, I'd be really cross that she'd 'called for a cuppa'.

Foobydoo · 09/03/2020 12:18

Im not sure but are you sure she is a 'friend'
I would be fuming, especially as you are higher risk.

Butwhhhyyyyyyy · 09/03/2020 12:22

Yes, am very annoyed and mostly concerned for my dc who have both been hospitalised in the past due to health conditions as well as the risk to me

In your case yes. I would send them to stay with a family member and ask your friend to tell you as soon as she gets results back.

HasaDigaEebowai · 09/03/2020 12:25

Did you say anything to her? I would be extremely cross and she should not be out and about.

In your circumstances yes I would. I can't believe she'd come into your home.

FourTeaFallOut · 09/03/2020 12:26

No, you are not being over the top. I'd be incredibly pissed off. I hope you told her how annoyed you are?

EnidBlyton · 09/03/2020 12:29

no, wait until you are contacted

Gadgnkk · 09/03/2020 12:31

This person isn’t a friend.

MsChatterbox · 09/03/2020 12:31

Wow, how upsetting. Yes I would. I feel so sorry for you that a "friend" has put you in this position.

I might, until you hear from your friend what the results of her son's test is.

She was an idiot to visit you.

Ringsender2 · 10/03/2020 22:13

@Butwhhhyyyyyyy any news?

Butwhhhyyyyyyy · 11/03/2020 10:17

Yes thanks for asking, after self isolating myself all afternoon and anxiety through the roof, she let me know he was negative, I am super annoyed with her and can not believe she was so careless with our health.

I am 🤬🤬🤬 with your idiot of a friend !
Glad all is ok.

Butwhhhyyyyyyy · 11/03/2020 11:18

This is how it is spreading, the idiots who not self isolate or don't isolate until it's too late.
