To let brother move back in?

My brother came to stay for a night which turned into a couple of months. As we’re an extremely vulnerable household I asked last week that we practice extreme social distancing (more than welcome to stay) or if he wishes to carry on his old lifestyle to move somewhere else.

He decided on the latter - he went out pretty much every night last week/his gf works in retail and hung out with her/friends etc.

He moved in with his girlfriend and now he’s lost his job he’s asked to move back in (self employed but never gone through the books so knows he’ll get no help).

I want to say no as he knew this was a strong possibility of losing his job and it’s like he’s gone on one last hooah. Also him and his gf practiced no social distancing last week and can’t see him magically understanding the importance of it.

He’s making me feel like I’ve made homeless, I’m really torn on what to do but my gut is saying no to letting him back in.

You have to protect the vulnerable people in your home. He made his choices if he doesn't like the consequences then tough

No. No. No.

This is against Government guidance. We are not to mix households.

No one can “make you feel”.

This would put YOUR family at risk.
This decision then puts OTHERS families at risk and NHS workers at if yours get infected.
