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?

How far post chemo is he? I'm 10 months post chemo and been told that I'm medium risk. Agree with everyone else that your DD is old enough to look after herself and your DH should be your priority.

I still don’t fully understand, if you think she has been clear 7 days and healthy enough to fly (sit very close to someone etc) then there is no need to self isolate when home.

If you are concerned about your husband enough that you are planning isolation then she is still a contagion risk and should not fly.

So in answer to you WWYD, I would make her check her insurance and plan a further stay in France.

The daughter either has symptoms or not. If she does then she should sort herself out with a hotel room for 7 days. Rather than come home and force a 14 day isolation on all of you.

The company can pay for it, I’m sure a half decent accountant will figure it out

She has NO covid19 symptoms - continuous cough and/or fever.

Anyway, she's at Geneva airport now following border checks so she either stays in no mans land or comes back to the UK.

Cant stay with grandparents who are 90 and 82 and dont have a spare room. Cant stay with SIL who is asthmatic. Cant stay with my family as SIL post lymphoma, and lots of new babies on that side of the family.

Not having her sit in a hotel/airbnb on her own for 14 days catching god knows what from whomever else.

So she will come home and take it from there.

Thank you so much to those of you who've made helpful suggestions.

“ If she does then she should sort herself out with a hotel room for 7 days”

Why is it better to give it to everyone in the hotel?

Some of the responses on here are mad.

OP, bring her back and then you, your DH and your DD all need to strictly avoid each other for AT LEAST 7 days, if not more given your DH's position.

Your DH needs to be completely isolated from both of you if you drive her back.

If she has no symptoms, why the panic about infecting a taxi driver? If she is symptom free then she is as likely as infectious as anyone else.

Pick her up, reduce contact between her and your husband and that seems enough really. Husband should probably be self isolating due to underlying health issues.

Could she hire a car from Heathrow so you don't have to drive and collect her ?
If she has a normal cold , she is still a risk to your DH to some degree, so she needs to minimise contact with him until her symptoms go. Its quite mild outside now, and you mentioned you have animals, could she be encouraged to do jobs out doors and if she is inside, stick to her room ? Plus the obvious rigorous hand washing

If I were your husband I'd be sealing myself off in one room and one bathroom for the coming weeks.

This is going to be difficult for you, and I wish you the best.

OK, she's home. Very tired, very crabby, very sad. No temperature, she has a cough but not a new one, and certainly not continuous.

DH will NOT self isolate, partly because his business partner (who has stage 4 cancer) is currently trying to get home from a Vegas holiday (honestly, you couldnt make this shit up). They are responsible for the livelihoods of 7 other people.

My plan: make them avoid each other, get DD1 out in the garden with me as much as possible, to allow DD2 to continue wfh. She's been commuting into London up until last Friday, so viral exposure has already probably been pretty high.

And watch everyone like a hawk for new symptoms. Seems all we can do.

It's good that she's home. You can only do your best, op, it's up to your husband to not get to close to anyone else at home, the least he can do. I hope it all works out.

Wishing you and your family the best yolosPenguinsEatfish

sounds like you are the only grownup in the room Yolo.
