Question for those shielding

As we all know Covid isn't going anywhere for a little while. MIL is at very serious risk, the comorbidities list is a tick list of her health issues.

I've said we/she may have to make a decision when things reopen whether our child goes to nursery OR sees her as once back we can't protect her anymore. DP thinks I'm wrong and it'll be fine.....

Obviously the decision will be hers but I'd like, closer to the time, him to talk to her about it. Only grandchild so main cause of risk to her. As a shielding person what do you think? Should he at least have a chat with her? Ive got a horrid feeling she thinks its 12 weeks then all will be safe. Obviously i dont want to patronise her but equally i want to make sure she knows

I don't have answers to this but several of my family and friends are concerned about the same issue. They haven't come to a solution but it is a worry. One has shielding relatives and the others are working in hospitals x

Its tough, she seems so sure that after 12 weeks all will be safe

If she understands and then chooses her risks it will still make me feel sick with worry but i just want to be sure she does.
