Thanks. She could form a support bubble with him, but she and I are already one. I guess this is a situation that trumps the rules?
Good point about opening windows, which he’d hate because his flat is like a sauna all year round. My niece and her partner are both doctors, but working flat out for obvious reasons, so difficult to ask. Would be good to get him into hospital, but it would be a fight.

It can be reassuring to get advice from a pro - about when to really take on the fight of hospital etc. There's an exemption for caring for a vulnerable person in general. I think if you have it and especially if you're symptomatic, you're supposed to keep away from everyone, but it's just not really feasible if you can't look after yourself properly.

I don't think anyone would give your partner grief about rules in this situation. If they did, they'd need to have serious words with themselves.
Your partner is awesome, I couldn't imagine being so level headed, practical and caring in the same boat (as much as I'd hope I would be). Probably not worth much, but if there is anything I can do (menial tasks, ferrying supplies), please shout. Will likely be doorstep visiting mrs_com's mother tomorrow in Brixton so will be passing through.

Fingers and toes crossed for your partner's dad. Me and siblings have already discussed plan of action if dad gets it (east asian, 80s, lives alone, health issues). We're trying to persuade him to stop doing his own shopping for a while. Only thing I'd add is to open all the windows while you're there if you're just dropping in. Do you know any medics you can call for advice?
