How "exposed" are you?

[Crunchymum]

It's just occurred to me that as a family we are incredibly exposed.

5yo and 7yo are in different bubbles of 120 kids per bubble and 2yo goes to nursery (no official bubble but there are 25 kids in her room when she attends). We also do weekly physio for the 2yo (its a group session so exposure to another 6 people) plus weekly swimming lessons (people are socially distanced but there are still a good 30 people in a poorly ventilated area)

My MIL provides childcare a few days a week (so more exposure there) and I've just had the sudden death of my mother and her funeral to deal with so I've been mixing households with my dad and siblings. We can cut back on this now we've had the funeral but I want to be around my family whilst we grieve and come to terms with our loss.

I know I am probably nowhere near as exposed as some but writing it down, I feel very scared.

(I'm tier 2, a London Borough that has 106 per 100k but relatively low death rates!)

Not really at all.
My OH doesn't work, 2 year old Not in nursery for this reason, to limit contact and we're lucky OH is stay at home dad.
I'm 29 weeks pregnant, work in nhs but now no patient contact. So I sit in a room by myself all day 3 days A week doing admin.
We only see close family, parents once a week at a push.
We do go out and about but try and keep it to outdoor outings.

I’m sorry to hear about your Mum. Sounds like you have a lot in your plate.
Regarding exposure, you prob do need to turn it down a bit. Obvs at the moment it’s hard when seeing family members etc ...
but maybe stop the swimming and MIL help if you can? Unles of course your MIL is in your bubble.
We are exposed by DC in school and hey do dance lessons. Max 5 kids. No adults in the building apart from teachers. Only other exposure is supermarket and my work. But my work is pretty Covid safe (as well as it can be. Nothing of course risk free). We don’t go out or socialise indoors at the moment at all.

I was really quite exposed for family reasons despite being in shielding, and I got covid quite early on. I'm here to tell the take , though!

MIL.provodes childcare, even though I WFH, I cannot so it effectively with 3 young children at home (been there and done that from March to June!!)

Tier 1. DH works from home. DS in year group bubble at school. I go to work but mix with the same 5 people since June when office re opened. Just go to the supermarket once a week.

Massively. I'm a secondary teacher, daughter is in a bubble at her school, her dad is a sixth form college lecturer.

DS is in a bubble of 90 children plus 4 teachers, 3 TA's, dinner ladies and whatever other staff enter the bubble at school.

DD's go to the same preschool so are in a bubble with 14 children, 8 staff and a student on placement.

DP is currently lone working nights but once this contract finishes who knows what his bubble will look like.

My mum is our bubble and shes the manager of a care home.

Im a SAHM so apart from school runs and walking the dog im at home all the time.

Minimally to moderate I guess. I WFH, but occasionally have to use public transport to go to Central London for events. I go to pubs and restaurants, but only every 2-3 weeks. Minimal contact with anyone outside my house.

However, just had a new person move into my flatshare who works in a bar and doesn't seem the best about social distancing (keeps having people over etc.) so I'm not so sure now.

Children at a small primary school. Husband working entirely from home. I do a couple of supermarket trips per week, a very occasional coffee out in a spacious local cafe, meet children’s friends with their parents at the local playground, do school runs and that’s about it. Been swimming with the kids a couple of times at very off peak sessions - we are usually one of only 2 or 3 families in the entire building. I’ve cancelled our half term holiday. We were doing a lot more over the summer, my main priority now is school.

I would say we are about medium. Three dc at three different schools. Each does one extracurricular activity (though now suspended as we are in a 4 week lockdown). DH is a police officer so in close contact with a large number of people. I am a midwife so also in close contact with a lot of people, albeit I wear a mask at all times.

We don't visit friends or family (as per local restrictions) and rarely would eat out or go to the shops. We do try hard to minimise our exposure.

100% exposed working with covid residents at work and in full ppe.

2 kids in primary, I just meet friends for walks and outside coffees, DH works in an office alone.
Apart from food shopping that's about it.

Very. In tier 3 area. I work as a TA in a Y6 class. Dd is in a Y11 bubble. Ds is a fresher in uni (also tier 3 area) - already had to isolate once due to flat mates testing positive. It's his birthday tomorrow so going up to take cards and pressies, although we will be socially distancing at all times.

Really glad it's half- term next week!

Sorry for the loss of your mum

I have 5 children in different bubbles, my husband works in a job where it is impossible to sd.
Three out of my 5 children has had someone in there school positive (not in their bubble yet though).
And husband has had an outbreak at his work.

Low case area currently but high risk in that DS1 is at college with over 4,000 other students. They social distance on the campus but no social distancing in classrooms - so close contact with probably 60 other students.

DS2 is in a bubble with 240 in his year group.

I'm probably the most risky though as I work in early years and don't social distance from the children. The staff don't really either - although we don't deliberately touch each other either. So that's 60 children and 8 adults I'm with regularly

Massively exposed as soon as the kids went back to school. Three kids at two different schools, DS in year group bubble of 300. Zero distancing by families at primary school so whilst the school are doing their best and keeping class bubbles seperate all the parents are socialising and obviously siblings mean exposure to many different bubbles. DH working from home but I can't - in close contact with six other staff and 30+ clients a day (wearing a mask).

Not very exposed. We've been working from home since March and get most stuff delivered, just for lack of time really as still tag teaming working from home/childcare till kid starts nursery full-time. Once they do it'll mean a bubble of 60. We're in a Tier 3 area and class after class is being sent home currently, so expect it'll be a very broken term. We see friends and family when we can in parks. We went to the odd beer garden earlier in the year but that's it.

Do you consider yourself exposed OP. I don't. I don't consider us to be particularly exposed either. I work from home, Dh goes to work, both ds's at secondary. That seems relatively mild to me.

Very.
I'm a primary school teacher so, my bubble, my 2 children's year group bubbles of 60 each, husbands working in a large office, football bubble, swimming, gym, supermarkets, basketball team. 😮

We are in our 60s. Dh works in a large distribution company with hundreds of people who don't wear masks or social distance.
We eat out 2-3 times a week, plus I go for coffee regularly. We go to the gym 3 times a week. Do is staying with us for 2 weeks ( teacher)
We are both in our 60s.
Do I feel at risk? No.

I'd say medium as DP is frontline NHS and deals with Covid patients regularly.
However, our DS is not in nursery or school so no risk coming from there. We go to the occasional baby group but that's pretty much the extent of our social interaction (we're in tier 3)

I live in a high risk city.

I am a LP but work in health and social care, see 10 people a day approximately. DD in a bubble of 60, DS in a bubble of 8.

Not a huge amount of people, but its the bubbles that each of those are connected too.

Its like 3 degrees of Kevin Bacon but shittier.

Not really exposed to covid. Working from home until next spring at least, mostly online shopping but DH likes to go to the supermarket or hardware store every few weeks. Have a cleaner who only works locally, but she wears a mask while here. DS in pre-school bubble of 14 kids + 5 adults, tiny school. Risk of isolation period from the pre-school as we're in Tier 2, so there's more cases around and some parents have exposure risk. Biggest covid risk are hospital / GP trips, but those aren't avoidable.

We are very very low exposure at the moment. We both are self employed and work from home. DS is not in nursery. We get our shopping delivered and for at least the next month we are pretty much not going anywhere or seeing anyone.

But I'm 37 weeks pregnant, I'm terrified but not really of corona. I'm scared of catching anything that has corona like symptoms, like a cold. I cant imagine how labour would go if we were displaying covid symptoms and hadn't yet got a negative test back (or worse a positive one). I know I wouldn't be giving birth in the hospital I want to give birth in and I'm pretty sure that they won't allow a birth partner who is showing symptoms so my husband wouldn't be with me... luckily we live quite rurally so we've still been taking DS for walks and to jump in puddles etc so we are not locked in but until his sister is here I want the most minimal contact with others that I can manage!

I work in a primary school, tier 2. I use public transport every day. DH works from home, but DS works for the NHS and also uses public transport. DS brought covid home in March. We both had it mildly but DH was hospitalised. I'm not sure I'd be in work now if we hadn't gone through what we did at the start. I'm asthmatic and was very scared in the beginning. We've managed the last 7 weeks without closing any bubbles or having any known cases. But, like a PP, I'm glad it's half term!
