So tomorrow were meant to be doing a bootsale its all loaded in the van already
(its 2 homes effectively being sold) a close family member moved in with another then unfortunately they both passed away and we have to clear it all but we have to sell it to cover some personal circumstances.. anyway
... my brother has just tested positive which has now made me really anxious about doing it. We planned on having hand gel and masks but I've just got really concerned however weve been waiting to do the bootsale for the last 2 years and can't keep putting it off. Not sure the point to my post maybe just some reasurrance

Do you have serious medical issues that put your at higher risk of serious illness or death? If not, I don’t see what the issue is. Would you feel this way if your brother had norovirus?

What is the hand gel for? Is it anti-viral?

sorry, I don't understand.
You've not seen your brother for weeks, he won't be at the car boot sale yet him being positive is making you anxious about doing the car boot sale?
Why?

I don't know i think its just his text 1st person who i know has tested positive brings it all a bit more closer to home in my mind ive serious ocd and im properly over worrying

Why are you anxious about a carboot sale? It's no different to going to the supermarket. Probably safer because it's outdoors.
