My DS is due to go on a college trip to Italy in April.
College are adamant that the trip is going ahead. To the extent that I had to pay £10 for a hoody yesterday for him to wear on the trip.
They are going to the South of the country. However, the entire country seems to be locked down at the moment.
I am not being melodramatic, but I don't want to send him to a country with a high possibility of infection and risking him infecting others upon his return.
I know people are saying that it's 'just flu'. However, when Swine Flu swept the country I contracted it and was seriously ill. In hospital for 3 weeks with sepsis and liver failure.
I have emailed college asking for their intentions for the trip and I am waiting for a response
