Covid On The Job - Page 2

I have to be blunt.....no. Your husband has a lung disease and he has to be protected., it is not worth taking the chance. Lung disease and COVID are a deadly combination. As they say, it is better to be safe than sorry.

@cuddlesmama Why don't you ask your husband's doctor?

For whatever it counts, and we all have opinions. I have not seen my children since about September and their daddy has had surgery. I took him to the hospital, waited in the car until the doctor called me and I let them know how he was, and they know with their professions being what they are and in contact with many people in the course of a day and week, and one with small children who attend a large school, that we prefer them not come and I know they don't even discuss it. In the summer, they would come. We would sit on the deck, all about 10-ft apart with masks but this is winter and we cannot sit that far apart and carry on a conversation so we will just wait. That is what my advice is to you. I have asthma. Their daddy has severe lung disease due to an adverse reaction to a heart medication that made him toxic. So, no. We think we will just send pix and Zoom.

My son called me today and said 16 people at his job has Covid. but no one in his department has it. He doesn't live wihy us. My husand and myself are in out late 60's and are wondering if he comes to our house on Christmas he could be a carrier and my husband has lung disease and and wondering if we should tell him to skip Christmas this year. He never even got tested but he could be a carrier. Such a hard decision.

If you are in any doubt at all, @cuddlesmama, which apparently you are, then you have your answer. It's just not worth it.

Easiest decision of all for a considerate son. He should not set foot in your house, nor should you visit him!

Maybe he could get tested and have a little Christmas later, if he's negative.

I do think your son should get tested. My son's been tested about 6 times this year as work-related contacts test positive. Son is negative each time but must go to work and support his family.

I noticed on FB a high school guy who was an anti-masker, among other things, died of covid after a 3 week illness. Long marriage, kids, grandkids. The virus doesn't care what we think or which politicians we support. We must use reason and caution.

Good response. I would ask my doctor first before people on a message board.

@cuddlesmama I made that decision and will be spending Christmas with Murphy, my dog. My family agrees and I want to be around next Christmas. Anyone working in an office can be exposed in so many ways it's not worth it.
