My daughter has a sniffle- she went to a children’s party only 7 kids no parents but has come back with a sniffle

Husband double jabbed but when he went to pick up he was invited into the house where he said there were other parents standing in the kitchen. He was in for about 8-9 mins but feels uncomfortable

I’m yet to be vaccinated so now I feel my times up with Covid- my husband is pretty convinced I’ll die but I starting to wobble a bit now….I don’t have anyone to talk to in to hence the reason I have to rely on mumsnet to have a rant

Ehh? Youre scared of dying but will still forfeit a vaccine that helps to protect from a virus youre living in fear of! Oookkkkaaayy!

Ifitquacks · 10/07/2021 18:12

Your child has a sniffle and from that you’ve come to the conclusion you’re going to die?
All of my children have runny noses/coughs/temperatures this week. All tested negative for Covid.

Even if you catch Covid, your chance of dying is miniscule. Especially if you are not elderly, obese or with serious underlying conditions.
Do you have health anxiety?

SpindleWhorl · 10/07/2021 18:12

I urge you to seek a second opinion.

VimFuego101 · 10/07/2021 18:12

While it's good that you're taking Covid seriously, I think you're vastly overreacting with the 'husband getting vaccinated in case I don't make it' talk. Even if you're vulnerable, the odds are in your favour.

I'd be pretty pissed off if my DH was telling me I was about to die. 🤔”

Ds has a sniffle, but has tested negative on LFTs.

Ifitquacks · 10/07/2021 18:13

Also... was the party today? Covid symptoms don’t appear that quickly.

livingwithbees · 10/07/2021 18:13

Please don’t be so worried, as others have said you are very unlikely to die unless you’ve missed something from your posts. Your daughter may well just have a sniffle, or had a good sneeze because of the air freshener in the bathroom at the party, there are many things to get through before thinking about covid.

Howcanthisbe123 · 10/07/2021 18:15

She wouldn’t have caught the sniffle from the party if she only just come back from it. It’s takes longer than a few hours for the infection to get into the body and for the symptoms to start.

You won’t die. You will be fine and if your husband says that again to you, kick him in the bollocks!

whatsthataboutthen · 10/07/2021 18:15

Jeez, overdramatic and over reacting. Your child can't go to a party and then come away with it having picked up covid instantly. Ffs.

Gazelda · 10/07/2021 18:16

Are you genuinely worried you will develop covid and die?
Have you genuinely not taken your GP's advice to have the vaccine?
I presume you have health anxiety OP. And from what your DH said, he does too. I hope you are shielding this from your DD.
Please get help with your anxiety, and get the vaccine. Getting vaccinated under medical supervision by someone who knows your medical history has got to be better than going through this worry every time your DD has a sniffle.

Thank you for taking the time to respond / I’ll try and answer all the questions as best as I can-

Daughters is in year 2 - so far no known cases in her class and only had 1 in a different year group last month

My daughter has had sniffles since going back to school but she is also always the first person to catch the bugs going around. She is always the one to have the first sick day and then it passes around the class- so my anxiety is driving this by saying if it’s Covid she will be the first person to get the symptoms as well

Yes she came back with a sniffle so unlikely she caught it at the party but might be the school

Why my husband thinks I’m going to die I don’t really know- he doesn’t have health anxiety but maybe Covid changed that- he has always told me that I will die or end up in a ventilator if I get it and I’ve begun to believe it..

He does feel the exposure was a bit too much and unplanned for so if someone tests positive in the next few days then yes he was exposed

The blood clots I’m referring to in my family are not the normal clots alone - there have been vaccine related emergencies in my family hence the reason I had to speak to the gp

Daughter is lying down, husband in the study and I’m shifting all my stuff to the spare room to prepare myself to get it…

When did she go to the party?

Sorry, I also think you are vastly over-reacting. We had covid in the first wave and I am fairly sure DS brought it home from school. First symptoms were high fever. We were all pretty ill, made worse by it being the first wave and no-one really having a clue and being unable to get medical attention unless your lips were turning blue and you could not speak a sentence. Medical knowledge has advanced a LOT since then.
My DS right now has sniffles and sneezes from hay fever. We have had about seven PCR tests since last summer for coughs. A sniffle does not equal covid, unless there is something you are missing out here.

Cloudninenine · 10/07/2021 18:17

What an absolutely bizarre overreaction.

SirSamuelVimes · 10/07/2021 18:18

OP have you posted about this sort of thing before? You sound very similar to another poster who has done lots of similar threads with regular name changes.

You are irrational in your fear of the vaccine and your fear of Covid. You need to get help from your gp for your health anxiety.

Moonface123 · 10/07/2021 18:18

I have worked in a huge busy supermarket all through the pandemic, we have hundreds of staff, as open 24/ 7 , in all that time,, only 2 members of staff had covid (that they caught off other family members) and fully recovered. So l can't help but feel your over reacting.

@PandemicPalava today and I know she’s not picked it from the party but I think it’s from the school

Die?? Really no!

ladygindiva · 10/07/2021 18:19

My kids have had a sniffle for over a week. It's not covid, I've tested them. There are lots of harmless common colds around.

PandemicPalava · 10/07/2021 18:19

Ah that's what I was going to say, no way it's from the party. Don't panic, a sniffle could just be a cold. Get a test as soon as you can

KatySun · 10/07/2021 18:19

Sorry I cross-posted. Your husband is not helpful at all, I could not be doing with such a doom-monger. I am sure he has some good qualities, but he is out of order telling you that you will die or end up on a ventilator!

Wanttocry · 10/07/2021 18:20

He does feel the exposure was a bit too much and unplanned for so if someone tests positive in the next few days then yes he was exposed

But he’s double vaccinated? Your DD is going to school every day with potentially hundreds of unvaccinated children. To focus on this party as a source of panic seems very odd. Does he not have this concern every time she comes home from school?

MadisonMontgomery · 10/07/2021 18:21

Your daughter has a sniffle, therefore your death is imminent? Tiny bit dramatic 😂😂😂
