Flu, Covid, and RSV Oh My!

How is everyone dealing with these concerns? This is my 3rd pregnancy and I have always delivered in September so I never dealt with the winter bugs or a pandemic. 

You could say I'm being cautious. I wear a mask when I can. Online shop when I can. And try to socially distance. I am finding though that people don't care. My parents are upset with me that I don't want them coming for Christmas when my mother works in a nursing home that is riddled with all three diseases. They said I'm being selfish. 

And today my neighbor sent her daughter over to play. She was coughing and I asked her why. Come to find out the little girl tested positive for the flu FOUR days ago. When I texted the mom about it SHE got defensive and said she didn't do anything wrong. That she hasn't had a fever for a 24 hours so it's fine. And got upset with me that I was asking her child questions!!!!! 

Am I the crazy one here? Please someone tell me if I'm in the wrong here because I am polite in these interactions. I kindly explain everything even though I feel like it should be common sense. 

I am terrified of getting sick during this pregnancy and I feel like no one cares. No one is going to advocate for my baby but me. And when I do I'm mocked. I feel absolutely defeated.
