Shielding

[Collie4]

I have copd and obviously in the vulnerable category. I am a bit concerned because my daughter who lives with me is a nursery teacher in a school and has gone back to work. I feel quite worried. They have measures in place but you can’t keep 2 and 3 year olds distanced.

I am wondering if i am safe. As we all know when we have copd or something similar we have to be extra cautious and it is quite scary.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am sure they have all the precautions have been taken, I don't think your daughter would consider going back to work if she thought it would put you in any danger. Have a good day and take care 😊 Bernadette xx xx 🌈

Thank you for replying. Yes, i’m sure it will be ok. She stayed at home for weeks during lockdown to protect me mainly even though school was i open most of the time for key worker children.

Stay safe. Hope we all do.🙂

If she has to go back, even though you are shielding, then the only thing you can do is try to distance as much as possible between the two of you. Not easy within the same house, although I know of someone with 2 kids and a husband who has been doing it. Not easy at all.

Thank you for reply. Yes, i’m sure we will be ok. She only went back recently when lockdown was eased a bit. I still worry though.

Stay safe. 🙂

Yes I understand your worry as my husband has worked throughout .
