Would you not isolate?

[pansyparkinson41]

My sisters husband has tested positive for covid. She has flouted the rules throughout as she doesn't believe in it.

I've just offered to drop some food and supplies off and she's said not to worry as she'll be going shopping tomorrow. Aibu to be astounded by the selfishness of this?

I've always agreed that life has to go on but if you have been sleeping with someone who has tested positive then surely there's a high risk you may have gotten covid too and should stay home until it's proven otherwise? Is this sort of behaviour not contributing to rising cases?

She's also meant to be throwing a birthday party for my nephew next weekend. I can't even begin to think what'll happen if she goes ahead with it.

No, my neighbour was the same. The whole family had it at christmas, they were in and out of tesco, hacking their guts up on the way and had visitors to and from eachothers houses on a daily basis. Didnt give a rats.

Won't she be contacted by track and trace and told to isolate? She risks a pretty hefty fine for not doing so.

I dispair

Any rational person would isolate. Your sister is a selfish dick.

I've "flouted" the rules throughout. I would isolate if living with someone who tested positive.

Not really sure why you're so surprised after 18 months that some people do not care.

Has she been vaccinated?

From 16th August people who have been double vaccinated will be able to just take a test and then not isolate, even if someone in their household tests positive. I don't personally think it's a great idea but it seems to be where we are heading anyway.

If she's flouted all other rules why would she take any notice of them? If you block the number nothing happens... well it didn't to me anyway

I wouldn’t isolate

It’s going to be legal and acceptable for a whole range of key workers from Monday regardless of family members testing postive

I’d go non contact with a friend or family member who did that without a second thought. Supermarket workers are essential and CEV people still need to shop for food if they can’t get a delivery.

There really are some selfish people out there!!!

She isn't vaccinated and doesn't plan to be.

She has chosen to believe covid is all a big conspiracy which is convenient for her as it's meant she hasn't had to abide by any rules like the rest of us. She genuinely doesn't seem to care that she could be passing it onto others because she doesn't believe it's real.

Sadly doesn’t surprise me as there’s so many selfish people out there. Why would she put people at risk. People who can’t be vaccinated or the vaccine hasn’t worked for. People with cancer or other diseases. I hope that she finds out it’s not one big conspiracy. I’m suffering with Covid now and I’ve felt terrible for 10 days, and I’m double jabbed. It’s no joke and to think people are deliberately risking others makes me furious

Believe me i feel the same. I'm disgusted but she is so selfish and headstrong there's just no point arguing.

No there’s no point arguing with these people as they are always right (in their mind anyway). It’s certainly made me change my opinion on some people

At this point if I was asymptomatic? Not sure because it is not proven that I can pass it on if social distancing and wearing a mask (but I wouldn't be socialising, I'm talking about essential shopping!) I'm double vaccinated and that reduces your ability to spread the virus considerably. I've had covid and barely had symptoms so it is most probable that would be the case again so I'm unlikely to know I have it!

Your sister is selfish.

A family member did this. She got COVID but didn't believe in any of it at first until she got it then kept going on about how she had it but 2 weeks ago it wasn't real 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Her twat of a husband took their daughter out to see his other daughter who doesn't live with him.

She won't wear a mask, she won't get vaccinated. She will just carry on as normal with absolutely no thought for anyone else she could be infecting. Because in her opinion it isn't real and if you bring up the several thousand people who died last year she will just say they died of other things.

It's just the total lack of care for other people that has done it for me this time. She rants and raves about freedom and choices but what it really boils down to is her not wanting to be inconvenienced.

There are some right dicks in this world.

I'd shop her.

Her freedom and choices not those of the unsuspecting shop worker who then has to go home and care for CEV relative.

i would wash my hands of her

If she's flouted all other rules why would she take any notice of them? If you block the number nothing happens... well it didn't to me anyway

They can send people to check on them at home to make sure they are isolating. Not in all cases but it does happen. Let's hope she gets a nice big fine then.

Is she the instigator though? I’d always think the man was the moron that lapped it up first and then just spouted it so much until his wife believed it too.

@Itsprobablynotcominghome could be. He's a non believer too. Even the kids regularly tell me very proudly how they aren't following the rules. I can't see her or speak to her for a while, I'm disgusted at the selfishness.
