Just a vent post, as I'm really worrying about catching covid at the moment. I help with dad's care (he needs 2 people to hoist/safely roll etc). We paused the carers for 5 days over Christmas as I'd be staying at mum and dad's place anyway and me and mum can just sort thinga. Also, the care agency are so horribly short staffed they were struggling to find people to work over Christmas.
I live in what's turning out to be one of the top 4 boroughs for omicron and it feels like everyone I know is catching it. I'm isolating as much as I can at the moment but need to go 3 days a week to mum and dads to help out. That's 45 mins each way on public transport.
If I catch it now there'll be no one to help my mum over those 5 days ? the only family we have near enough are very elderly themselves.
I have no idea what we'll do and it's stressing me out so much. A stupid, obvious thing to say but oh I hate covid so much!!
