C'mon, jfman. I would have expected you above many others to project an objective view.

I don't know whether or not you have children - but putting myself into a similar situation when mine were young, and knowing how flu lays you very low, looking after a young child would be my greatest worry. I'd have zoomed off to the mother in law's gaff in Rutland and in present circumstances would have found a way of isolating in one bedroom.
