I’ve got a question for any doctors here…
My brother and his wife were super worried during the pandemic and took precautions to a new level. Isolation, never leaving the house, masking anywhere and everywhere. They had a baby in June 2020, and given what we knew at the time I can kind of understand, but even now they are still overly cautious. Now with their kid in daycare they are constantly sick. Norovirus, RSV, Covid, flu - you name they have both had it this year.
Well they were finally feeling better and wanted to get out. Myself and my 15 year old decided to go over and look after the baby a couple weeks ago and now we have got this nasty nasty cold. I’ve had a 102 fever for 2 days now and I’m literally in real pain all over and my throat is on fire. I’m falling behind at work and my kid is missing school.
I guess I’m finding myself pissed off that I’m dealing with this from what I see as their overreaction and buying into drama and craziness. Their immune systems were shot and now they are catching and spreading everything.
Am I wrong to see this as their fault? I’ve never been sick like this and now I go over to their house once and I can’t get out of bed.
