Would you go to these social events

[Frazzled2207]

Ds2 is currently on day 9 of covid jail. I seem to have avoided thus far (a pcr and daily LFTs, no symptoms).

I have social events -both small with three (different) close friends- planned for later this week which will be day 11 and 13 so out of the isolation period (I’m vaccinated so legally it didn’t apply). Normally that would be ok but DH started feeling poorly on day 4 and tested positive on day 6. He’a currently fairly ill.
So although I’m fairly sure I haven’t caught it from ds there is still a chance I caught it from dh and am still incubating, right? The social events will be on day 8 and 10 of his period.

Or should I assume that because I didn’t catch it from ds I am ok. Would really like to understand the science of the virus moving around the household!!!! And more interested in what’s morally right- I don’t think there are any legal considerations here.

I'd take a PCR a couple of days before the event (to be sure results are back in time) both dc have covid just now and I plan to take one near the end of our isolation before I start going to things as so far I'm clear but have some people I plan to meet up with who really need to avoid it.

I don't think you can assume that because you didn't catch Covid from DS you won't catch it from DH. At least before Omicron, it was pretty clear that some people with Covid were much more infectious than others. In terms of what's morally right, if you have Covid in your household you definitely shouldn't meet socially with anyone without letting them know the situation and making clear that you understand if they want to cancel. If you do meet, take a LFT as close as possible to the time that you leave the house to go and meet up.

I would move them to the new year.

This close to Christmas, if you do infect them they'll be ill/isolating over Christmas, and although it's no-ones "fault" I'd not want that on my conscience.

They all know the situation and most of them have had covid already.
I would ask them for their view but I suspect they’ll be polite and not say they don’t want me there!
The Friday event seems safer (if all still well) - I think I’ll just have to bow out of Wednesday. As a family we should be healthy by Christmas but giving another family a Christmas gift of covid would be really rubbish.

I can’t self isolate entirely this week but continuing to reduce my outings to school runs, essential food shops and runs (by myself) seems sensible.
