In a high risk group and my sister has been told to isolate and just came round!

[Ataxicbrother]

I'm at in a high risk group, and have taken my DD out of school with the headteacher's blessing.

My sister just came round, rambling about her phone not working, and asking me to do a job for her (dogs, just round the corner).

Then she told me that she's been told to self-isolate with her boyfriend, and not to go to her house (where her adult son is), as her boyfriend has a fever and cough!

She's about to post the keys through my door, but I now don't want to do it... I am beyond furious that she stood there talking to me without telling me.

My dad said I'm being nasty and shouldn't have opened my door, but how the hell was I supposed to know?

He also thinks I should help her, but I'm so fucking angry right now.

Should add that my mum phoned just as she was going, as they told her not to come round!

I'd be furious. Try and disinfect anything she touched. Change your clothes? Have a shower? Try and do as much as you can to mitigate her visit. Tell her if she puts the keys through the door, they'll stay there.

Hm. Did she touch you or just stand at the door chatting? Obviously what she did wasn’t okay but unless you hugged or something I wouldn’t be too worried. Just make sure you sanitise anything she touched.

Thanks, I did disinfect. I opened the window when she came back and told her (from behind the glass) that I wouldn't do it...I know my parents will be angry, and she will probably threaten to crash her car (common technique when she's angry). I would have happily done it, if she'd asked and put them somewhere safe, where I could have cleaned them, but she made me too angry!

No we didn't hug, and she didn't come in. I feel a bit guilty, but felt rage when she told me, after standing chatting for ages.

Now my parents are angry with me...argh!

My mum said I was at as much risk going shopping, yes I realise that, and have avoided going out as much as possible.

But having someone who 111 has told to stay away from other people, turn up at your door, without saying so beforehand, didn't give me a choice.

So now my sister's angry at me, and my parents aren't talking to me, because I'm upset that she just turned up, after being told to stay isolated for 14 days.

Yes I'm being selfish, but I have a young child, who the fuck will look after her? Mum & dad are over 70 (dad has terminal cancer, copd and CKD 4 and diabetes).

Your parents should be angry with your sister not you-ridiculous that she came anywhere near you (or anyone else) if they are all supposed to be self isolating!
Ask your high risk dad how he would feel about her coming round to him!

And this is why we'll move, very soon, to an enforced lock down.

Disinfect her keys, wash your hands, your hair and body and try to focus on the idea that you probably haven't caught anything.

Ignore the anger, people are scared and will just be lashing out.
