Just had a big row with DH. I am ill with a fever and I am going to stay at home for the required 7 days. No other symptoms. DH thinks I should take DD3 to school this week because I won't see anyone. I could just walk her to the end of the road that school is on (I often do this anyway - she is 9 years old) or drive her and drop her off.
I just think that the rules are very clear to not leave the house. And I think if you need to self-isolate then do it properly, or it is irresponsible. He thinks I am totally overreacting. And DD2 agrees with him. I feel very ganged up on and they do not take it seriously. They think I am being ridiculous and I don't have coronavirus. Of course I may well not have coronavirus, and I hope I don't but that isn't really the point. The guidelines are about having a fever or a cough. I think DD3 might as well stay at home with me. She is probably infected anyway as we spend a lot of time together. AIBU?
NHS advice from website about self isolation:
"do not leave the house, for example to go for a walk, to school or public places"
