Impossible to self isolate in a flat with no doors/one bathroom

[Fruitteatime]

We aren't at the stage of needing to isolate yet but I can't see that it's going to be at all possible if one of us is ill. We are a two adult and two child family, youngest still bed shares and breastfeeds, oldest 6 years old and likes to cuddle a lot! I can't see a way to change those things without causing a lot of upset.

We live in a two bed flat with one bathroom and an open plan kitchen/lounge. There is a communal garden, which I won't use if we have symptoms but it might be our only option for fresh air. We actually only have a door on the bathroom currently, so can't follow advice to leave food outside doors of bedrooms and in any case if one was ill where would we all sleep as no room for extra beds in either bedroom.

Can anyone advise on measures we could put in place for self isolation? We can't be the only family who don't have enough rooms or doors for self isolation.

Self isolating is so practical when you’re sitting in your Westminster ivory tower, isn’t it? Dh and I were discussing how this would happen I’d say, he or I were to get it (or a cough / fever)and self isolating in the house. We have the space. But I’m disabled and need help at times and definitely will if ill. Dd at 11 isn’t strong enough to help me. So we can’t do it either.

if say not I’d say.
