Is boyfriend being unreasonable?

I have a sort of long distance relationship with boyfriend (he lives about an hour away). I've been really sick for 3 weeks and in isolation. I had to be blue lighted to the hospital in the week. I've not been tested for coronavirus because they're only doing that for people they keep in hospital. He keeps messaging me to ask if he can come to my house tonight. He thinks it's "worth taking the risk" and that it's not fair that I should be "kept in isolation for weeks on end."

I told him that I'd not be comfortable with him coming and would be super guilty if he caught it. He thinks he'll be OK beause he has been "i've been walking around in supermarkets quite a lot as well so equally could have picked something up without knowing it." He also drove someone to the airport today so they could fly back home.

I have a lot of complex health problems along with a slightly lowered immune system, and have explained that even if I don't have coronavirus, him coming to see me, he might pass it to me even if he doesn't have symptoms right now due to the incubation process.

I've also explained that I've had a really bad night with coughing and being sick, I am exhausted.

I've told him no several times but do you think I am being unreasonable to tell him not to come to my house today?

FFS! He doesn't give a shit about you, Tennis. He puts getting a meal cooked for him and his cock serviced above your health and even your life, if he passes you the virus it could kill you. Let that sink in. That's not sweet, that's the most selfish twat behaviour going. And his comment about too much hygiene, he's also thick as two planks, how stupid can you get? YOU had to make him aware how dangerous this is, so he's pig ignorant, too. What a catch. Get a self-esteem and get rid of this guy, even without the virus, pestering your girlfriend who's just been ill and in hospital so you can bunk over there and get fed and get a shag is disgusting behaviour.

I had a chat with him and made him aware of exactly how dangerous it would be for me if he came round. He's finally understood and accepted he won't be able to see me at the moment.

Thats way to much hard work to have to explain to an adult!
You deserve someone who doesnt need it spelled out in words of one syllable.

He sounds ignorant, not attractive.

It's taken all my energy just to make him realise the danger. When I am better I will evaluate and deal with the rest. My biggest priority right now is to get better so I can get back to my job at the hospital I work in. My colleagues need all the support they can get.

Tell him to leave you alone for now you dont have to deal with him just concentrate on yourself.
