In a really horrible situation here

[Realitea]

I was asked if I could let in a repairman tomorrow to a friends house. They have Airbnb guests there but they have to go early due to the appliance breaking down
I was told they’d gone though
Went past there earlier and the guests were still there. After talking to them it turns out they’re leaving early because they’ve tested positive for covid. Wtf! I wasn’t warned and I was standing right there talking to them!
I told my friend and they apologised but they really want the appliance fixed and know the repairman won’t go in if there’s been covid in the house.
So I’m still expected to go in and this poor guy is too.
At the time I just said I will but I’m getting more and more annoyed about this. I don’t want to be part of this and put myself at risk.
Would it be wrong to just say tonight that actually I’m not ok with this?
I’ve been very anxious about getting covid and now feel like I’ve been tricked almost. Also if I have to isolate I’ll lose a lot of money as my job can’t be done from home and I’m self employed.

I would do a rapid lat. flow test to put your mind at rest for now. For what it’s worth, the chances are you won’t have caught Covid because of the inside/outside thing. Both of my DCs had Covid and neither myself or DH caught it (and I was tested) despite very close contact.

I would be very unhappy at the friend though. That’s really, really out of order.

I think it would be too soon to show up on a LF but I do them regularly anyway so will keep doing that.

Yes, quite frankly no-one has the right to tell you how worried you should or shouldn't be. If you're comfortable, @crapshow, then marvellous. Some of us are not. Some of us are still trying to un-learn the fear that has been drilled into us for months on end.

The actual risk you have been exposed to is minimal, but that's not the point. It's that you weren't even given the information so you could make your own mind up, for the sake of someone else's profits and convenience.

Sod, and I mean this most sincerely, that.

@ClawedButler - thank you!
