Look, I know this is stupid but it's a self-isolation question

[yoloPenguinsEatfish]

I can't find any clear advice on this.

DH is immunosuppressed post chemo. DD comes back from French Alps tomorrow. She has had a cough/cold for last 4 weeks. She is convinced she and her team have all had C19, but none of her symptoms are new.

I have to pick her up from airport - 2 hour drive.

So, when we get home does she have to go to her room for 2 weeks? What about me? do I also have to self-isolate?

Our house and garden are huge, it would be entirely possible to sit 2m away from someone indoors, let alone in the garden. (not a stealth brag).

If she self-isolates in the strictest sense, would be fine - except I'd be running up 3 flights of stairs every time she wanted something. If I self-isolate, then a fuck of a lot would fall apart...

Honestly, WWYD?

Could she book herself in to a hotel? Go straight from the airport?

Chemo is quite a thing to get over and you'd have to be confident to catch every bug.

When you pick her up, could she sit in the left back seat to be as far away from you as possible? Then go straight into self-isolation once she is home?

Could your DH self-isolate too within your house, just in case, if you are uneasy?

14 days since onset of symptoms is obviously long gone, so I wonder if a week would be enough.

Can she not get back from the airport another way? Even by taxi?

I'm beginning to think it would be better if DH went to a hotel... DD2 is now wfh, I always wfh, and we have animals to look after etc. DD1 has been away since mid Dec, I think she needs to be home now - and I need her to be here rather than in some airport hotel 2 hours away, which would be very expensive. I'll talk to DH in the morning but he is pretty gung-ho about everything at the mo.

That doesn’t seem necessary to chuck him out his home. I’m quite shocked at your suggestion, I’d not be happy if my husband asked me to leave and your husband is more at risk in a hotel. Cleaners cleaning it, chefs preparing the food. He is safer at home, he’s post chemotherapy for gods sake.

Your daughter should get a taxi back then self isolate at home for two weeks. Your husband should not leave the home and open himself up to what could be fatal risk,

Why do you need her there, if she hasnt been there since December?

Yes I agree with bluntness, that sounds really risky. If you can afford a hotel bill, it should be your daughter staying in one just in case.

No way is it a good idea to send your DH to go to a hotel. Why can't your daughter get a cab and self isolate in a room in your house or alternatively go to her own home?

Omg, please don't expose your DH to the germs away from your home!!

Can someone else pick her up from the airport? Then she isolates. She can text what she needs and you leave it at the bottom of the stairs. She gets it, doesn't touch anything else, and goes back up.

They think you can catch it from food. If a chef coughed on the food your husband could get it, if a cleaner had it, they could leave it in his room.

The last person who should go to a hotel is your husband. He needs to stay home.

Genuinely shocked you’d consider asking him to leave.

Really? she should get a taxi, possibly risk infecting the driver? (although I do think it's unlikely)

I'm just trying to think it through the best way logistically. DH is still working, has done throughout his treatment - he owns the company. The company could actually pay for his accom rather than us, which would be an advantage. If DD1 in a hotel at the airport it's two hours away and likely very expensive.

I suspect I'll bring her home and we'll all just sit in different rooms for the next fortnight, unless I meet her at the airport and she is visibly virus-ridden.

I cant actually believe you want to send your vulnerable husband yo a hotel.

I think both have masks on, daughter in the back of the car, sanatise hands and jumo in the shower as soon as you get back.

Daughter stays in her room, husband stays in his and you avoid both for 2 weeks.

This is going to sound silly but hear me out. Can you get some sort of plastic sheeting (bin bags?! or ideally something a bit stronger) and screen off the rear seats of the car from the front - bit like a black cab. Then she sits there and has window a bit open. Once home she goes straight into isolation for 2 weeks in her own room/bedroom - doesn’t touch anything on the way through, or you clean anything she does touch. Yes it means running up and down stairs for you.

Gosh though this situation really does highlight the issue of non - testing though doesn't it. If your daughter could be tested on return it would make way more sense.

I don't WANT to send him to a hotel... I dont want any of this!!

This can’t be serious op. Your husband can not go to a hotel, end of.

Just isolate both of you at home, that's the unfortunate situation you find yourself in. Or daughter isolates in hotel and you suffer the cost of that.

Whatever you do you can't send HIM to a hotel though, that is too risky.

So I take it you dont need her there, you just want her there?

Just sit in separate rooms for the recommended period.
I hope all of your remain well.

Regardless of CV your dd is unwell, she needs to not be near your dh.

Dd should have a mask so as to not spread whatever she has. Can she drive? Can she hire a car from the airport to home?

You could also talk to a taxi company, some also have 'private ambulances' which are used for delivery to funeral directors. You also might have dedicated private ambulances, they should be able to transport dd and then clean / disinfect before reuse.

You cannot seriously be considering sending your husband to a hotel, a place rife with germs, where any number of people could have already have left covid germs either in the room already or bring it in or onto something he comes into contact with . You need to take a reality check.
Has DD had a positive cv19 test? If not there is no guarantee she has had it. She could pick it ip on her flight hotne and give it straight to you to transmit to him. Is it a risk worth taking?
Airport hotels cannot be expensive right now, ir an airbnb, it has to he safer

So in order to satisfy your need for DD to be at home you would send DH to a hotel despite his being immunosuppressed for chemotherapy? Even though you doubt she has Coronavirus? Bad move OP

hotels are filthy, your dh certainly should not be going to a hotel.
i'd put dd in the back seat, no hugging at greeting.
yes, she should go into home isolation for 14 days and 100% stay far far away from your dh. own bathroom and both should stay out of the kitchen.

As an example, getting over your WANT to have your daughter at home you could sacrifice £331orderig cheapo mcdonalds uber eats ir whatever, at Gatwick for example for a hotel for 14 days isolstion to get over any foreign contamination issues which I think is well worth the risk. I'd check the local airport at a site like booking . Com if I was you for a cheapest price scenario or maybe expedia or one of the others. If your daughter can afford 4 weeks in the alps she can surely afford the extra time to protect her dad? I'm harsh but I dont think you can be too careful
