car sharing

[dancemum123]

DD is good friends with one of the girls at dance.
They go to dance together four times a week and friends mum is currently walking to dance, waiting around then walking home.
Parents aren't allowed in dance currently.
Tonight weather is bad and hubby saw them walking to dance so said to mum he would take friend and pick her up to save her getting soaked waiting around then on the way home.
The girls are both in primary but go to different schools so aren't together in the day time. Hubby said he couldn't see them get soaked and so offered to pick her up and drop her home any day the weather is bad. They both sat in the back with windows down but I now worry this wasnt wise but hubby says they are in a bubble at dance four times a week so five minutes in a car should be ok?

Your husband did the right thing

I don’t know about your dance school but our have the policy that as long as they stay 2 metres apart in the hall then even if one tests positive the others won’t have to self isolate. This would break that but would the dance school tell you if she tested positive?

CovidChristmas, I haven't seen our dance policy. They are kept apart in class but I assumed that they had been put in bubbles because if one had covid then even though distanced they would all have to isolate. If DD tested positive we would inform friend and assume friend would do the same.
I'm just confused with all the rules and normal circumstances I or hubby would give any friend a lift but not normal circumstance so couldn't decide if hubby had done right.

I have to say unless there is lightening no child will melt from being rained on, I think we probably need to try to break as many links as possible atm. That said it isn’t against the current guidelines.

Yeah it's fine, some people need to stop being so pious.

I almost did the same thing today (gave another child a lift home). It turned out her own parent had come to pick her up which is why I didn't.

For me the deciding factor was that it was only a very short journey, as in your case.

I do however wish that people would stop using the term "bubble" as though it gives an extra layer of protection - your daughter's "dance bubble" is basically just those in her dance group and doesn't mean they are in any way isolated from the rest of the world surely?

CovidChristmas, I know they wont melt but unfortunately hubby is very kind hearted and previously gave this girl a lift home so said it wouldn't have felt right to just drive pass.
Redsky, no the bubble doesn't protect them, apologies I just meant they are together four times a week and that if one of the "bubble" had covid then they would all isolate. Sorry for using the word bubble, a bad habit now because school and dance use it all the time and other DD's gymnastics and karate do.
