Should I go to work

[Callabag64]

Ihave Rheumatoid and my husband is 71, I have no symptoms, should I go to work, I work in an office counting cash and don’t have much close contact with other staff, am using hand gel, but should I go to work ?

To be honest it’s your call . Look at your medication is it depressing your immune system . Look at your husband’s health does he have any underlying health issues . Be honest with yourself if you know your at risk , talk to your employer see if any of your work can be done from home , but check as your husband is in the age group the government want to cocoon . No one and I repeat this is going to judge you this is no longer a question of money . Please talk to your husband and your manager and do what your gut is telling you . Wish you well 🤗🌷

Thank you for your reply, forgot to put that I developed pneumonitis 2 years ago due to my medication. I am on Ritixamab infusion.

My darling girl you’ve answered your own question . Go in today talk to your boss , see what you can do to help from home if possible but I think not . Don’t feel guilty get the cards out we’re in for a long run 🤗x

Thank you Ness, I will do just that. I think my husband will be less anxious if I stay home. Best wishes to you

I agree with Nessa but can you call your boss instead?

[helixhelix in reply to happytulip]

Yes I would call your boss rather than go anywhere. I would hope that any sensible boss hearing you say that both you and your husband are in the high risk category would immediately tell you not to come in and put you on sick pay like other employers have done.

What medication are you on? Handling cash the virus can live on the notes and coins which have been handled by so many. 🤷‍♀️

Coins are just what you don't need to be handling at the moment. Under normal circumstances money carries bacteria, some of which is very harmful. I would contact your boss and tell him that you are one of the vulnerable ones and that you are self-isolating. Good luck, x
