My dad is (almost) 79 and lives alone. He has done since my mum died from cancer 3 years ago (she was 64). My dad cared for my mum in her final few months and she died at home.
My dad goes out most days for a walk around his local shopping area. He is obviously being encouraged not to do that now.
I work FT so visit dad every Sunday with my DS who is 15mo.
The thought of him being stuck at home alone with only phone contact is really upsetting me.
I know the current coronavirus advice is that he should do that and that I should probably also stay away. He has heart problems and type 2 diabetes. My DP is a type 1 diabetic so I need to be careful around him too.
We are assuming a kind of lockdown is on its way at some point.
Until then AIBU to visit dad with DS as normal providing we all feel well enough? Or should I just accept that we should basically be self isolating anyway?
