When to see family again?

[uhoh2020]

When do you think we will be able to see family again? Go into each others homes etc.
My dc are desperately missing grandparents and the other way round. They have been speaking on the phone daily and a quick wave through the window now and again. They usually see them around 3 x a week before all this.
Do you think this will be 1 of the 1st restrictions to be lifted ?

I think at the end of another 3 weeks of lockdown if we are all well we will go and see my parents before the kids go back to school (assuming they do, which is obviously not a given). I think that would be the least risky time for all of us. Once we are at school and work the risk gets much higher.
I also actually could cope with no school for longer if we are allowed to be with family and friends sometimes. Still being sensible obviously, but 7 yr old ds so badly needs a run around the park with kids of his own age, inventing 7 yr old kid games. He is so missing that and I just can't replicate it for him.

Some people who aren't in the shielded group will choose to isolate because their reading of the risks indicates to them that it's wise to do so.
