I have a friend who is in a vulnerable group (having chemo for a quite advanced cancer).
She is supposed to be self isolating, but is actually more social distancing as she needs to leave her house to get food. She has no relatives in this country, not many local friends (not lived in our city for long, although I’ve known her for years).
She has no support, basically.
We (me, DH and kids) are symptom free but working from home and social distancing.
Should I offer to bring her some shopping? She lives about a 1 hour drive from me. Tube stations near her have closed, so public transport would be more tricky and obviously more risky.
If I did bring her food, would I just need to leave at her door? Would it be completely foolish to go in and see her, do some cooking/cleaning for her?
I think I know the sensible answer, but my heartbreaks for her being alone, very ill and isolated, and with no support...
