Husband wanted to give his coworker a ride from the hospital to his house (he was hospitalized for covid -I guess his fam members are busy?). I told husband not to because he could potentially bring it back to me. He said he’ll take precautions but I’m still concerned. I rather we pay for his Uber ride back or something. Husband said no to that. What would you do?

Nope for me. Make them take the ambulance or they can walk. Don’t need the diseased anywhere near me.

Easy solution, tell him to give the guy a ride back and just burn the car when he gets home.

Probably not a good idea to pay for an Uber because now the Uber driver is at risk.

If he’s been hospitalized while having covid then I’m assuming he’s been there for longer than the period of being contagious and is most likely better now. Maybe I’m wrong, don’t know the situation. When my dad came home from the hospital there was basically no chance of him passing it to my mom as he was not contagious anymore, and if anything she was more a risk to him. I really think the risk of your husband being exposed is very low as I’m assuming your husband is vaccinated, they’ll both wear masks, stay sanitized, and the friend can sit in the the back. I couldn’t imagine having had my dad Uber home from the hospital… or anyone for that matter when there’s another option.

I just don’t understand why none of this person’s family can make themselves available? This is pretty significant and I can’t fathom being too busy for this. Your husband having asthma is one of the last people the coworker should be around, mask or no mask IMO.

Yeah that’s just a sad situation for this person

I may be a mean person, but I wouldn’t offer to drive my coworkers home from the hospital unless they were my good friend. It seems like something family or good friends should do, and coworkers in a last resort situation. I also wouldn’t want my coworkers picking me up (seeing me like that from the hospital, being burdened, etc). It sounds like your husband was just trying to be nice, but I wouldn’t be a huge fan of my husband going out of his way to do this for one of his coworkers either.

Lmao wtf why wouldn’t the coworker get themself an Uber or taxi themselves. I’m assuming they’re an adult.

I'd pat my spouse on the back for being a great person, ask my spouse to mask up and request my spouse to have the rider to mask up.

This! We should be spreading more love and compassion for those asking for help! Take precautions, be careful, but don’t turn your back on someone! Good for your husband for being a good person and thinking of others.

Would you do it for someone you're close to? Or would you make your friend take an Uber from the hospital?

Just because he's in the car doesn't mean he'll automatically get it. You can have windows down, mask, face shield, open the vents, etc. also, isn't it something like after a week or two of having covid, you're not longer contagious? I think he'll be fine

like

If I were his coworker, I would rather take Uber home. If they get sick later because of me, I would feel very guilty for taking a ride for my personal convenience. I feel less guilty taking Uber but the driver gets sick because I at least pay for it. I don’t owe anything.

You should really tell this to OP’s husband - think about others (his wife) not just himself. After all, colleague or wife, your choice.

I would ask Husband to isolate from you and kids (if any) for 10 days after exposure if he's unvaccinated and/or unmasked.

Make him walk.

Depending on how long he was hospitalized, he more than likely isn’t even contagious anymore. Just have everyone wear a mask to be safe. Agree with your husband on no Uber. I have coworkers I’m close with that I would do something like this for so I understand where he’s coming from.
