Dilema

[Apc2604]

I have a very good friend who is flying to back England from Spain for a family get together and then a further 3 weeks to visit friends and family. There has been a rapid increase in her area in recent days and several in her town. There is no covid 19 in Norfolk at the moment. I am due to meet her next week. I am classed as vulnerable health wise and old. Should I be cautious and not go. We are very close friends. Personally, if I was in her position I would cncel going to a area with no covid19.

If you feel uneasy about it then cancel,I am sure she will understand.

Thank you Mamya. Trouble is I so much want to see her. Do you think I am being over cautious? I have never been a cautious person before in fact quite the opposite. I actually think if were in her position I would postpone coming over to the UK, especially to an area which is virus free so far. She will understand and I will feel guilty,

"There is no covid 19 in Norfolk at the moment"
that you know of. By The time you see her, thing may be very different i gue, and you can make your decision o the info you have then

[Mamyalynne]

No one can really say whose caution is right or not, I have a non urgent health check later this week and have dithered but decided to go anyway.

The decision must be yours.

I agree that your friend should think carefully too.

Bednobs. She's Coming in 2 days. When the virus comes near (and no doubt it will) I shall self isolate.

[bednobs]

in 2 days the situation may well be different to now

[Apc2604]

I have a vital hospital appt. on Monday. I shall go, unless otherwise advised.

[Apc2604]

Bednobs, I know.

[bednobs]

APC, OK

[Apc2604]

Thanks to both of you. I have contacted my friend now and told her I won't be meeting her. My husband who is the most rational person I know has admitted that he doesn't want me to go because of my health issues and low immunity. He has never before tried to stop me doing anything. But he made my mind up today.

can you facetime?

[pixie374]

I think you've made the right choice, whether it turns out to be extra- cautious or not. Once the worry is in your mind, it would probably put a bit of a dampener on it anyway. Hopefully, you can rearrange soon.

What does facetime mean?

[Apc2604]

I contacted her on messenger Woofy. We had a long chat on phone messenger yesterday (about an hour) and at that time I thought I would go. Today things changed. She's a lovely understanding person who is my best friend. But in her situation I wouldn't be coming over here to be honest.
