Went to see my 80+ year old parents at the weekend and my at university son. Everyone felt worried about our usual cuddles Grinand just sort of pushed upper arms together. GrinGrin

Is this being ridiculous? A lot of this behaviour is better safe than sorry.

Anyone else concerned about "intimacy" etc???

I don't think hugging family members is what they had in mind when they were discouraging handshakes.

Unless you actually spent your entire visit yelling to one another from separate, well ventilated rooms.

I'm immunosuppressed and IMHO a life without cuddles from nearest and dearest is no life at all.
I'll take my chances.😀
