Am i over reacting? I have just told my boss that I am not gong to be coming to work over the next few weeks. I work in care, we have started to take people from the community and mental health discharge, our regular team has expanded and includes people from the service but employed in other areas. I have been at a meeting today which took place in the garden of the respite home 2 metres apart but a dozen people attended. and we are expecting someone to come down from up North to give specialist support, I just think we are expanding our risk. My husband has Left ventricle failure 30 percent EF at best, BBB and ectopic heart beat. Has defibrillator pacemaker also. Feel I should be protecting him before the wider community, have tried to keep apart and kept separate utensils/ towels and bedroom, but its difficult to maintain distance, We don't live in Windsor Castle!

Interested in you comments.
