Going into the house of someone who had covid

If somebody finished their isolation period after testing positive one one day and then person two went into that person's house the following day and stayed drinking all night (literally coming home the next morning), what do you think the chances are that person two could catch covid? We know it lives on surfaces.

He hasn't been allowed one yet. He probably won't get one, so calm down. We're in a high virus area and I see lots of vulnerable people in my job. We are going to discuss it with the experts. Excuse me for being happy he is going to try to get a test when he knows he has been risky and I see vulnerable people.

Deniers like you are fucking us over.

You are entitled to feel what you feel about Covid, and the drinking/ partying. How old is he? How old are your kids? I’d not be happy about any of this either, and especially him continuing to party like that regularly when you are not happy.

Coke? I must have missed that. I would be focused on that if it is an issue.

AKissAndASmile · 19/10/2020 22:32

He's never done it while we were together (he told me he used to before we got together). I don't want to say too much, but he's had a lot to celebrate recently and it's with someone he used to do that with

Staying up all night with someone you love talking to can be very therapeutic...

Ethelfleda · 19/10/2020 22:36

Depends... were they drinking bleach?? If so, they’ll be fine because it cures Covid.
Were they shooting pheasant? If so, that’s fine too as you can’t catch Covid while shooting game.

Yes we've all experienced that. We're not 12. What is your point? If you're trying to upset me I'm afraid you've picked on the wrong person.

@AKissAndASmile I have literally nothing to gain from upsetting a stranger on the internet. What an odd assumption. My point is that no, actually, you don't have to be '12' to spend an occasional entire night enjoying someone's company. Just because you and others here wouldn't choose to, does not make you in any way superior.

AKissAndASmile · 19/10/2020 23:04

@borntohula

What has what you have said add to my thread? I don't get it. Who is staying up all night talking to someone they love? Do tell.

@AKissAndASmile presumably your OH has? Why bother posting if you don't want responses? You and other posters have been insulting about your partner because he made a choice, as an adult, to spend a night with a friend and a few drinks. As far as the Covid risk goes, I'd say it was pretty low and that you probably won't avoid it forever. 🤷

AKissAndASmile · 19/10/2020 23:20

@borntohula
It's actually illegal to go into people's houses. Even he has acknowledged this now so you are the idiot that needs to fuck off and try not to infect people. Hope this helps!

I presume after reading your latest posts, that getting a covid test has reset your whole relationship. That the weekend boozing and coke taking is no longer an issue and everything is now rosy in the garden?

borntohula · 19/10/2020 23:25

@AKissAndASmile I mean you know absolutely nothing about my circumstances but go you, you seem an utterly pleasant person. 🤦 If you're so concerned about it being illegal but haven't called the police about it, you're compliant in infecting other people, surely. Not sure having a sweary little tantrum on MN has much of an impact.

Put down the wine. You are utterly incoherent

borntohula · 19/10/2020 23:42

And you are really odd, OP. I'm sorry you struggled to understand my (stone cold sober) posts. Anyway, good night and hope your relationship improves, it seems to be bringing out the worst in you, as it stands.

AKissAndASmile · 19/10/2020 23:47

@borntohula
I'm not odd. Even my dp agrees with me, so you trying to upset me will not wash. Good night and goodbye, you troll.

God, there are a lot of revolting people around these days.

I am glad something constructive has come out of this for you and your partner, OP.

My son had Covid . Isolated for 14 days with wife and children . None of his family got covid despite sharing their home . I'm sure you will be fine . Son and wife aren't mad on cleaning. No deep clean involved 😂

Winederlust · 20/10/2020 10:49

I agree with PP that the 'catching covid' aspect of this is the least of your worries by the sound of it.
It's telling that you seem to be accusing anyone who isn't completely agreeing with you as 'covid deniers'. I haven't seen anyone denying covid exists, they just seem to have a bit more perspective on the actual risk of your DP having caught it from the situation you describe.
You come across as overly anxious about the whole Covid situation (maybe understandably given you say you work in GP so probably see a higher proportion of the infected than the average person) and perhaps this is affecting the way you're reacting to your relationship situation (although your DP does sound like he's been a bit of an arse!)?
Hopefully it now seems he's accepted that he might have been a bit unreasonable and you can work through it.

AKissAndASmile · 29/12/2020 02:27

Update: we did split at the time and I believe it was the correct decision.

His grandad was hospitalised with covid for 5 weeks but is back home now and ok. Nothing to do with him.

A distant family member (not his family) died of covid on Boxing Day.

He still isn't taking it seriously...wanted to come back to this house to spend Xmas with us even though we are different households now and this new variant is about.

I got slated on this thread but know I was correct in my concerns about his disregard for the rules, nevermind the drug stuff.
