To take covid positive toddler for a walk

[Covidtrap]

Really struggling mentally so just took covid positive toddler for a walk in pram. He had dummy in and raincover down and we avoided people i went out late as less people around and swerved the 3 people we did pass maintaining distance. I know its wrong but hes on day 4 of isolation and sees to have goten even more energy wrecking the place as just wants out. To add to the stress dp got admitted to hosp with covid yesterday hes on day 8 and they said he needs to be in for at least a week. His chest is deteriorating and hes starting clinical trials but worried as covid has already affected his liver quite badly but his chest has got worse and oxygen requirements are increasing daily. I just feel so stressed the fact i cant visit or bring him pjs or anything i know thats the last thing he needs but i feel useless. Is it wrong of me to just go out for a walk woth ds once daily? I am negative and double vaccinated. Ik its against the law but aside from the 2 bottles of wine ive ordered on the online shop i dont know how else to cope. No family nearby and ive had to send friends money to bring dp clean clothes wash bits etc

I think it’s inhuman to demand that a small child stays completely indoors for 2 weeks if there’s a possibility to go outside to breathe some fresh air, in a safe way that will not put others at risk. Even the worst criminals have the right to go outside on a daily basis because as a society we recognize that it’s not fair to let people stay inside all the time. The toddler was in a buggy, under a rain cover, away from other people….I don’t think any person with a shred of empathy would have a problem with that. Esspecially not considering the op’s circumstances. Best wishes OP

Correct.

@StarCat2020 well, not all of them but the majority don’t even try to hide it. They aren’t penalised, there are no consequences - they still get the grant regardless.

I cannot believe that anyone would test positive for Covid and then not bother to isolate.

It honestly baffles me that they go to the effort of getting tested, find out that they are positive and then don't isolate.

I kept mine at home and we are completely rural. You are unreasonable-do you want another family experiencing what you are? It is hard I understand, but the rules aren’t there to be convenient. I hope your partner improves soon.

How is is that ever going to happen with toddler in buggy under raincover OUTSIDE 🙄

I don't see anything wrong with going for a walk if you are both feeling up to it. There's far too many people quick to judge. So long as social distancing is maintained if you meet other people.

As we all know, it's always a question of "can't be bothered"

🙄🙄🙄

@StarCat2020 the isolation grant criteria is very loose in Wales thanks to Dripford.
People isolate for £750 which they can claim an astonishing six times, they don’t isolate to stop the spread. I’ve seen people queuing in the car park to get tested and then seen them in shops later.
I honestly don’t see the point of the scheme - at least not here.
We’ve had completely fabricated self employed claims, people losing a fiver, fabricated test results, the lot!
