Scared of catching covid, I am just being silly? Causing arguments at home.

Posted , 3 users are following.

Am i over reacting? please help as my wife says I am.. we need to get this sorted as its causing so much friction at home.

so.. ill try and write this as unbiased as i can be and only provide the facts.

the facts..

I'm classed as high risk, i had my spleen removed and have been shielding.

I've had both my astra jabs over 5 weeks ago

shes had both her pfiser jabs over 7 weeks ago as part of the nhs

My wife wants to volunteer to work on the covid vaccination bus that's been coming around in Bolton. I'm scared that she's putting herself and me at risk by doing this. She says she is stood outside with masks on a meter from the person taking details and giving them directions.

I know the vacs that we have both had provide some protection, but its all to do with probability. I'm saying its just not worth the risk, this new variant is easier to catch, high levels in Bolton and i really dont want to find out if my vac has worked or not. She says I'm just being silly and need to get help and advice.. hence the reason for this post.

any help or advice would be greatly welcome.. thanks in advance Steve

    sounds like a pretty low risk to me. She would be outside and standing a meter away from the person, wearing a mask.

    She’s not giving in injections, correct?

    transmission rate outside is extremely low. Plus you’ve both been vaccinated. covid cases have gone way down.

    its up to you to make the final decision With your wife.good luck with everything!
