Thank you Riverwalk
It’s been a difficult time for us, but unfortunately you just have to get on with it. My husband got Covid from my elderly mother, who picked it up in hospital, after a fall. She passed it to him, because he popped round to move some furniture for her so she can use her new Walker, and then he brought it it home to me. Obviously we didn’t know mum was discharged with Covid, we were told she tested negative. Mum and my husband were very mildly ill, but I was hospitalised for twelve days. I was really poorly. Then my worst fear happened and my daughter and husband both got Covid. It was my worst fear because they’re both doctors and I knew there was a high risk. However they both recovered quite quickly, my daughter, like her dad in a couple of days, and son in law about a week.
I’m not unsympathetic to the OP. It’s just that we all have to accept we can’t behave like we did before Covid. A very poorly older person with Covid is not what she, or the country needs right now. Unless the baby is unsafe, everything should be left as it is. Obviously food can be delivered to the front door, and that’s it. No other contact.
