Would you go to the pub with someone who had two kids at home who had tested positive?

Just that really. Would you want to sit in a pub for the evening with someone who had two kids at home that had tested positive in the last few days?

@toomuchlaundry but if you had norovirus with someone in your household all others went out so why is it different

I work clinically for the NHS. Currently awaiting PCR results. Expecting mine and dh to be -ve and D's to be +ve.

Dh is not allowed in school until D's is out of isolation.
I am expected back in work if my pcr is -ve. I'm double vacced, boostered, will lft daily and wear PPE when with patients, but only a mask in the office. I will tell families and assume all will cancel their appointments.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

You could be sat in a restaurant and the table next to you may have positive cases at home?

I had Norovirus a few weeks ago and it didn’t occur to DH not to go on his works dinner.

Have not read the thread, but nope... I would not go to the pub with someone who has been identified as a close contact.

I probably wouldn’t socialise with someone who had norovirus in the house

No way!

No chance. I was testing negative until six days after my son was positive and when I eventually tested positive I was glad I’d had the sense to isolate and not infect people when it was likely that I was carrying it. I’m double jabbed and still ended up in hospital.

I would but then we just had covid ourselves so I may have a different opinion to others!

Nope

O

*no

No

How would I know? There are people everywhere and I don't go round asking people for their medical details (let alone their kids') before spending time with them.

No, was in this exact situation last week, was due to meet a friend and her dd tested positive the day before, she got a negative test but what’s to say she couldn’t still pick it up after the test?

My bil is clinically vulnerable, I just couldn’t feel comfortable taking even the slightest risk once I knew so we’ve rescheduled.

Nope

Nope nope noppity no

Yes

No, doesn't seem worth the risk.

No. I’ve got a couple of colleagues in their 40s who still really struggle months after having caught Covid from their kids. Can’t work, loss of income, all round rubbish. really wouldn’t want to pass it on as you don’t know if the other person will get it badly or not.

Yes of course, why wouldn’t you if they’ve tested negative?

Haven't RTFT, but no absolutely no way would I knowingly spend an evening in the pub with someone who had Covid positive kids at home.

This is really interesting. I had a covid a year ago. Have been double jabbed since. Dd3 (primary) has just tested positive.

As I am double jabbed I can - under current guidelines - still go out everywhere. I will be expected to go to work as a year 2 teacher and teach my class of sneezing, coughing bogie-eating 6 year olds on Monday. (I am part time.)

So whilst I appreciate you might not want to meet me for a drink, if I am deemed well enough to go to work by the government, and provide childcare/ education, I am well enough to go to the pub.

@Wideawakeandconfused

Yes of course, why wouldn’t you if they’ve tested negative?

Because lateral flows are notorious for producing a lot of false negatives, and if it was a PCR test the position may well have changed since the swab was taken.

I'm shocked that some PP would happily go out and socialise with norovirus in their house. It's so infectious and I would be so annoyed if a friend or colleague did this!

@Watapalava

Gov guidelines do not say family contacts can’t go the pub!

They say to avoid contact with others where possible. Do they need to list every single thing???
