We are just getting over covid so covid isn't a huge risk to us I guess. Doesn't mean we aren't going to be cautious though. Especially if we had delta with omicron risk.
Sil works in a london school. Last week there was 20 out of presumably 30 odd positive with covid including the teacher in sils class. As a ta she was teaching the rest of the class, very close contact. They finished on Friday.
Her mum and stepfather live in another part of the country - where we live. she intends to come here tomorrow to stay with her mum for a few days. We likely will not see her as one of us still has a few days isolation. I don't know how long she's here for. I think she's back home again by Christmas Day.
Of course. If she's negative she can rightfully do as she pleases so visiting is not wrong (double jabbed, booster soon). But from experience over the last couple weeks. You can go from negative one day to positive the next. It took me a week to catch covid off Dp. So she's risking infecting mil, stepdad and her siblings.
Mil doesn't really give a shite about covid anyway. She told us to take our positive dc over there for dinner because she didn't care if she caught the virus - obviously we didn't do this.
Dp's stepdad is cev (but triple jabbed) and very anxious about the virus. Everyone dismisses his concerns because he's just the 'stepdad'. Dp gets on well with him but his siblings do not. They probably wouldn't care if he caught the virus in all honesty. I think they disrespect him so much because mil does too and he's her house, so her choice kinda thing. It's a bizarre set up but Dp is quite fond of him. The stepdad works away most of the time as he sees it as less risk. I know he cannot live his life in fear but during all the lockdowns they never followed the rules and he was so nervous about catching it.
Naturally Dp is concerned about his mother and stepdad. They aren't elderly - in 60's so still an increased risk and have health problems
I understand this is not my choice to make. But say if sil gave covid to in laws. Then we see the in laws next week. What's the risk? We've just had covid so probably not huge. But there's still uncertainty on omicron protection after infection.
We've had to cancel our boosters due to getting covid and now having in January.
Even if sil didn't catch it from school she has been in london at various events over the weekend.
And no sil would not be on her own if she stayed put. She lives with long term partner!
