Seeing people that are poorly?

I have health anxiety so I know I don’t think like normal people haha. But would you see someone that you knew was poorly? With your 8 month old baby? I’m finding it really hard atm this time of year. Also do you see people that you know have been around someone else that is poorly?

I’m definitely more relaxed over 6 months but no, we’re still avoiding people we know are definitely unwell Even with that, both he and I have caught colds and tbh sometimes he licks the floors now. I’m all for building immunity but also avoiding illness where obvious as when we have been sick, it’s been a nightmare!

@Jem what about if someone has seen someone that they know is poorly and then want to see you?? (But they are fine)

Oh I would personally be fine with that. But I can understand why you might be worried It’s so hard when it feels like every other person has a cough or cold at the moment!

I’m the same as you and I still avoid anyone that is ill. I just hate being unwell or baby as I’m a solo mum so don’t have a support system. She’s all I got so I can’t afford to be sick all he time. It’s the people with a cough that scare me though due to RSV

Yeah I think I’m going to have to just avoid people that are poorly themselves, instead of the people that have maybe seen people that are poorly.. I think otherwise maybe I would afford everyone haha

I wouldn't purposely be around people who are poorly, not unless it couldn't be helped, which sometimes is the case!

@Rebecca what about people that have seen someone else that’s poorly?

I would expect if someone has been to see someone who’s poorly, not to directly come and see baby. Change of clothes and a wash at the least xx

Only if they went home in between to have a good wash and change their clothes first. I hate chest infections they’re awful.

@Emma I mean like a day after x

Ah I get you. I’d try and avoid it because they might be contagious but not having any symptoms yet. I don’t know how quickly you’re contagious with a chest infection. What’s the situation? If you’re worried can you just cancel?xx
