Are you still going to family houses?

[namechange40693]

Sorry another Coronavirus question. Family planning to go to my parent tomorrow. If I went there would be 6 of us in total. My parents are both in their 70s with high risk illnesses. To me we shouldn't be going. However everyone else is acting like I'm overacting as it's not a big group.

No. You are not supposed to be visiting anyone or having them visit you. The guidance is clear.

Nope.

Social distancing. Unnecessary visits shouldn't be happening.

I don't think people are paying attention to the news coming out of Italy.

No. Of course not. Would you go if you had a sickness bug? Treat it like that.

No

No

For reference BBC News

No I'm no longer visiting family (or anyone else)

No you’re not supposed to visit people let alone people in the vulnerable group

No. We are not seeing anyone, no friends and no family. Anyone who does is an idiot.

No

Please don’t go

No, definitely not

No, only for dropping food off in Mum's hall, and a chat with her stood in living room (think I might change it to kitchen and stand outside next time though). I bought her some choccies a couple of weeks ago for Mothers Day, which were wrapped up then and dropped off as well.

Prepped by getting Easter Eggs early. All in a big bag so DH can drop off for families on way to work (after santizing his hands that is!).

Anyone who is doubting the advice should ask themselves how it would feel in 10 days to be saying "I visited my parents against the advice and now they are dead"

I don't know how more clear it can be.

If you love them, stay away.

Obviously there will be people with exceptional circumstances so they have to take the risk but just ask yourself if that is the case here.

Honestly, I know boris causes more confusion than anything, but it's not hard to google the official advice, which really couldn't be clearer on this matter.

No, we all need to stay in our own house.

No I'm not seeing anyone. Work then home atm.

It's getting right in my tits the amount of people who think it's a storm in a teacup and carrying on as normal.

Nope. I've just lectured my DP due him announcing his friend is coming over for coffee. Ermmmmm NO!

the message just isn't getting through is it?!!

No.

We’ve cancelled the Mother’s Day visit to MIL and I’m not visiting my DF.

DF is in his 70s and poor health, particularly his respiratory system, so I’m staying well clear and he is self isolating. I hate it but it’s necessary.

You must be mad to even ask!
I am in a vulnerable group. I am resigned to not seeing my (early 20s)DC for the foreseeable future.
No parent wants to refuse visits from family and they shouldn't be put in the position of having to tell you not to come.

No, not seeing any family including grown up kids in their 20's or parents. Just mixing with the 4 of us in this house.

I am having to help out look after my nieces and nephews as will my parents I expect so still seeing family through necessity. We have cancelled Easter which is usually a big family Christmas dinner style affair and we aren’t going to have a mother’s day Meal at my parent’s to limit visits to essential contact only.

No. Not seeing anyone. No one living in our house is allowed to do anything outside other than what is essential.

No.

Rule of thumb - if you have to ask the question, the answer is no.
