Would it be really mean of me to refuse to see parents because it’s not worth the risk?

Just read that the British Medical Journal and the Health Service Journal have issued only their second joint editorial in 100 years saying that the 5 day relaxation of restrictions will “cost many lives”

I don’t want to end up having to live with the consequences if something happens to one of them, but I just know I’m going to be pressured to have them round for Christmas Day dinner

Am I being ridiculous here?

I'm going to sit round the fire pit in my parents garden on boxing day - my dad has a procedure for cancer in hospital on 21st dec, he doesn't want to get close to us or for us to go in the house but wants to see us...could be his last Christmas so I will do what makes him happy
