That’s it really, am I overreacting or being sensible. I work in a small rural primary school. Last Thursday 2 cases of covid in the children, mon no had gone up to 5, today up to 10, across all year groups, I have spent significant time with some of the covid cases. Also recovering from a bad cold myself, not covid but suspect my immunity could have taken a bit of a battering, I am double jabbed. Next week was due to spend week with parents with my 2 dds, they are not local so we would need to stay with them. They are elderly and not best of health, they haven’t had their 3rd jab. I’ve always worried about how my mum would cope with covid, every cold seems to lead on to a chest infection. So I have made decision not to go to see them. Very sad, am I being sensible or overacting. This is the first time since covid started that I have known that I have been in close contact with cases, my school has thankfully avoided it until now.

Could you stay in an Airbnb and see them outside/in the garden?

Would love to, but not an expense that I can cope with at the moment, also weather forecast due to rainy next week. I have covid!

I don't think it's over reacting. There is a LOT of covid in my area, especially in the schools again. And there are over 500 vivid deaths a week of double vaccinated people - the vaccination helps but it doesnt actually prevent entirely, in many cases, and it is still possible to die from covid.

Sorry to hear that OP. It's a shit situation, but I don't think you're overreacting. This isn't freedom. It's a shit show.
