F***. At the in-laws and I’ve just tested positive.

[Bunny2021]

We got here yesterday and last night I started feeling ropey. My SIL is CEV and my FIL (who we are meant to be seeing tomorrow) is currently going through chemo.

I’ve just done a test and it is very definitely positive. I’m panicking and don’t know what we do. My DH is currently out walking the dogs with SIL and BIL.

not really sure what I’m hoping to get from this post but I feel awful about being the one that bought covid into the house and potentially ruined Christmas 😭

Oh who cares

Probably the CEV person and their loved ones

Well I'd imagine the relative with cancer would.

What's with the idiots on this thread?!

I'm guessing that you can't read because OP quite clearly states that the FIL has cancer.

Go home asap 😢

Agree with PP - you should get bag packed and be ready to leave when they get back from the walk.

It's a shame but it can't be helped.

Put a mask on, text OH, pack and leave when he returns. If a Boots nearby ask him to buy www.boots.com/boots-dual-defence-nasal-spray-20ml-10220406 for you and one for anyone in the house + FIL.

If you are in another country try and find a hotel but no way can you see FIL.

I currentlly have a nasty cold virus, which came on with a vengeance on Tuesday. I was staying with my brother in order to visit our dying father who was in hospital.

I left immediately, because I knew I could not in all conscience visit a hospital - or potentially infect my brother, who was visiting Dad twice a day - when I was so infectious.

As a consequence, I could not be with my father when he died on Wednesday night.

Some of us care how we affect other people who are sick.

I am so sorry @VickyEadieofThigh 💐

I would speak to B&Sil, they may not want to risk Fil and Sil visiting them whether you are there or not if you have been together overnight. Airing the room will do bugger all anyway unless the CEV rellies are going to be sitting in it. @Bunny2021 could have already passed it to others in the house, or picked it up from them. Still go home, but give them the option to cancel visitors.

Agree with all this!!! Bloody rubbish timing, hopefully everything is ok 🤞if it brings any comfort, my CEV father in law had COVID and he was less poorly with it than the rest of us 🤣 barely felt it, I do know that's not always the case but wanted to share with you something that may ease your worrying a little.

@Bunny2021 if you have it mildly and ILs decide to cancel the visitors they may prefer you stay anyway to eat the food etc. Especially if they are healthy and vaccinated, as they will likely isolate whether you are there or not, they may prefer the company

Selfish to say don't say anything. Hopefully you will resolve this and limit any further distress. Take care.

Last Xmas my niece had Covid and gave it to pregnant me. My sister is going through chemo and she never got it, nor did any of my other family, including my husband who had been kissing me and my dad who is also clinically vulnerable. So not everyone catches Covid or might have already had it recently and not known. Id let the family know and ask them what they would like to happen. My sister wasn't bothered in the slightest that I had Covid.

This ^^

Shitty timing but yes I'd probably go home
A day quarantined in a room on my own wouldnt be My idea of fun and I'd hate to risk anyone's health

I'd open the windows and leave. Tell DH to put a mask on and antibacterial the windows, light switches and door handles and strip the bed.

My DH has covid and the kids have Chicken Pox so we are home alone over Christmas as well.

This is a stupid comment. People undergoing chemo are routinely advised to avoid anyone ill.

avoid mumsnet is what i would do

This ^

I hope everyone's assumption that you have a car and drove there is correct, as if you're relying on public transport you might have difficulty getting home. I hotel would I guess be an option in that case.

seems strange to test for it

The ignorance of the just keep quiet and don't test brigade is really shining through on this thread
Wonder if it ever crosses their mind how ignorant their comments are

Best wishes OP, crap timing, hope all is ok.

The past 2 times I’ve had covid I’ve had absolutely no symptoms. Only tested because family had it and had symptoms.

OP, more of your family could have it too, they’re just asymptomatic.

Tell your family immediately and go home. It’s not worth the risk.

To all the brain dead idiots saying “keep quiet” “don’t test anymore” yeah, that’s absolutely OK when you’re not visiting immunosuppressed relatives. But in OP’s situation, she should absolutely go home and let her in laws know.

I’m sorry OP💐
Hope you start to feel better soon and have a good Christmas regardless of circumstances.
