Any tips on how to persuade intelligent family members to follow the rules...
They seem to think it is ok to go over to other family members homes for a drink as they are social distancing  by sitting 2m apart and they are only a small group of four.Â
Now I know they realise this isn’t correct, but have made the choice to do this and assessed the risk for themselves, and it’s one they are prepared to take.Â
Not only is it against government rules but I don’t want them to catch this and pass it to each other. They are all in the 60’s and 70’s, university educated, professional jobs (neither of these things gives anyone common sense and I’m not saying if you don’t have these things you aren’t intelligent but I thought it gave context) before retirement but I can’t seem to get through to them.Â
Also for context, they are all used to being the heads of their families and leaders at work, so not used to taking guidance from younger family members.Â
This isn’t a debate on how silly they are (that is clear) more a post looking for tips that could help me get through to them please.Â
Thank you.Â
