Wwyd visiting

SIL with the family are coming to visit us next Monday. I am flying to see my parents on Wednesday. So we would have two days together. The problem is that SIL had covid last week and dniece tested positive today. Bil haven't had it yet. I am worried that I might get it from them during those two days and infect my parents (over 70 and df has had a stroke couple of years ago).
WWYD?

Surely the decision has been made for you - if you test positive today it's doubtful you are able to come out of isolation by next Monday as aren't day 5&6 negatives few and far between?

They are coming next Monday and I am flying next Wednesday. I am worried that dniece is still contagious and BIL might be brewing it.

Personally wouldn't want to risk seeing my parents tbh

Tell them not to visit...?

The possibilities I have thought is that either they come after I have gone and if that's not possible then I fly on Sunday.

I’d tell them to stay away and arrange for them to visit another time.

If you tested positive after flying to your parents would it affect you flying home as well as risking your parents health?

Nope. Lots of people have day 5 and 6 negative....both my kids and many of their friends.

My mistake

Mindymomo · 15/02/2022 16:19

Too risky if you ask me. They could still test positive on Monday and even if they test negative on days 5 and 6, it’s too close.

In reality, I think they know it would be unreasonable to stay with you putting aside the the risk to your parents and then not being able to fly home yourself.. Also, better for them to make decision now, as they'll have uncertainty on their side - DN might not be negative (my first negative was on day 12!) and BIL could well go down with it. If you really want to go away, don't risk it - we were trying to be careful and DH caught covid so we couldn't go away

Just cancel them. If you’re flying to see your parents then they don’t live close and that’s an important visit. Not worth sabotaging. They should be saying they won’t come though.

If I weren't going to fly to see my parents I would have been a bit annoyed anyway. I haven't had covid and dh and dc have only had delta not omicron.

Dh hasn't talked to his ds yet but I gave him two choices. Either they come after I have left or I will fly on Sunday and have longer trip. Originally I chose to fly on Wednesday because Sunday flights are much more expensive.

100% don’t risk it

Currently have got Covid and it’s been really bad !

Delatron · 15/02/2022 18:03

Yes trip or no trip you don’t really want to take the risk. Even if they come after you’ve gone they could pass it on to your DH? I’d postpone them for a while.

Madmog · 15/02/2022 19:02

We can't totally avoid it, but we've just had it and had five days of barely functioning. I can't believe family still expect you or DH to risk it - have a chat and postpone.
