Does anyone else have a v ill family member? What are you doing re Covid 19?

[Rainallnight]

My DM is in a hospice, with terminal cancer, in another country. I’ve been going back and forth between here and there to spend time with her.

The thrust of what Boris Johnson said yesterday is that lots of people in the U.K. will develop coronavirus and that’s ok because it will develop herd immunity.

But that’s not ok for me because if I get it, or DP, or the DC, then I may not see my mum again before she dies.

Does anyone else have a seriously ill relative and finds themselves in this position?

What are you doing?

Am I wrong to be incredibly worried about this?

I don't OP, but my parents and partner have underlying, high risk medical issues and my sister is pregnant. I am becoming increasingly worried, so I can only imagine your concerns.
I don't think I can offer advice, but I didn't want to not respond. It's awful that you're dealing with this on top of an already very difficult situation and I'm very sorry for your situation

Thank you @BammBamm, that’s really kind of you. Best wishes to your relatives.

I have a close relative with cancer. He's having active treatment and v high risk. I live in a busy city, take buses, kids go to big school. I'm bound to get it and am totally fine with that but won't be seeing my brother or his family til after I'm clear again. Could be weeks or months. He lives in a small village and has v little outside contact so hopefully he'll stay clear.

My mum is 91, lives on her own near us and has COPD so her breathing isn't good at the best of times. She has lots of food but is often a bit confused and worries unnecessarily. For her social isolation would be the worst thing.
Parents-in-law have carers 4 times a day - how on earth will they cope if the carers are ill?
I'm also really worried.... we've just got to do our best.... hope everyone is OK.
