I have a relative coming in from another state to stay with me. I am at risk and have been isolated. How do I introduce him into the home, 2 week quarantine? In Garage? Cannot find a camper. Ideas??

I have no real way to have him come into the house and quarantine from me. There are no options. Live in northern new England.

I have a two car garage attached to the house, but it is cold and drafty.

I thought of borrowing a big tent and putting it in the garage to give it some space, and room.

cannot find a camper to borrow or rent.

cannot afford to purchase one

Ideas would be appreciated.

What did this relative say, when you told him of your risk and situation?

Are you their only place to travel to?

[DannyTN]

If you let him come, he can’t be going and coming. He needs to stay isolated with you.

Do you have enough supplies for the two of you?

Good luck

[Tennessee Nana]

Why is him coming tell him to stay home...

[Jane Long]

No!!!

Go see them, in CA!!

Go visit your old stomping grounds!!

:-)

[metmom]

Is this a brief visit or is it a stay stay, like a long period of time?

[Jane Long]

Awaiting your additional details.

Right now, I’m thinking....who would do this (imposition) to a loved one.

Maybe there’s a LOT more, to the story.

Take care!!

Details, details, details. So far he has provided none.

[OwenKellogg]

Do not let relatives in unless they bring toilet paper.

  Is your cousin it?

And only the good stuff....no single ply!

Say this:

“We planned this before the Wuhan Virus Pandemic. I’ve got to cancel, since I am high risk. We will plan another time.”

[Bonemaker]

"...pitch a tent..." Could be problematic in early am.😎

[TexasGator]

“Awaiting your additional details.”

Don’t hold your breath!

““We planned this before the Wuhan Virus Pandemic.

What if it wasn’t planned?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Tell your relative to stay away. This is not the time for a visit.

Sounds like a really great excuse to keep my sister-in-law from visiting. Of course we live in Eastern King County, WA where this this virus has been passing around the community since sometime in December. Our friends do not wonder if they are going to get it... they wonder if what they had earlier this year that didn't even keep them home was the virus and in many cases it probably was. We will never know if they were infected because there are not enough tests to go around here for all the celebrities and politicians who want them. Even if there was and they do not tell if you had it, only if you currently have it.

You need to tell your relative that you afraid of getting this flu type virus because you are convinced that it could kill you and you are self isolating. There is no way that they haven't seen all the hype. They still might make fun of you for the next few years or until something else kills you. Even then it will provide a topic of discussion at your funeral.

[Chickensoup]

Yes. He is a close relative, and may need a place.

[caver]

Why are you letting them come to your house?

[Sacajaweau]

Tell him not to come...Period.
