My mum is 78 and has pulmonary fibrosis and is terminally ill. She is on full time oxygen and quite poorly.

I do a fair bit for her, she lives with my dad who does the bare minimum and is also 78, he can go shopping and gets the weekly shop in, he is in reasonable health.

I've tried to explain that minimal social contact means no visits, ie the hairdresser coming to her house, the cleaner and me and my daughter visiting.

I work in an open plan office with 100 people. We have no hand sanitiser and the cleaning is poor. Daughter is school age.

Mum refuses to believe visitors are a risk if we keep 3 feet apart. I know she will be feeling isolated but surely it's too risky for her to still have visitors in the house. I'm happy to drop things off etc, but she wants me to carry on as before.

So who is right please and if its me, how can I convince her!

If your dad is 78, ideally someone else should be doing the weekly shop.
