This made me laugh: assuming it’s true, very innovative

Great dippy!
Lots of people are saying too soon
Is it foolish of me to think that those who think it’s too soon will continue as was and not do stuff because they can and then maybe the impact won’t be so great?
(Laughs at own foolishness)

EP - I don't think that's a foolish hope. Some people will go to shopping centres, and BBQ parties because they are allowed to and they've missed them, but I think it's not too hopeful to believe that many people will take all the careful steps they think they should to continue to keep themselves and their families safe.
I can't risk giving this to mum, but she can't stay completely isolated forever, I shall visit her in her garden and I shall keep myself as isolated as I can so that when we are allowed to travel I can take her places - even if that means we both wear masks in the car.

My mum is shielding
I would love to spend an hour in her garden but it’s 125m away so I would need a wee! And a hug 😟
(Welling up typing this)
And I can’t pass anything on

The shielding thing is confusing.
Mum is 80 (just) has a pacemaker having only just survived a valve replacement and bypass op in 2014. She's quite fit and well otherwise and hasn't had a letter to shield
But, she's getting her meds delivered by the pharmacy and Tesco said she was on her priority list and gets delivery slots OK. - It's like she's on a list, but no-one told her.
Anyway, sister and I have laid down the rules and she is pretty much shielded.
It is incredibly difficult to visit and not hug

i think the changes being introduced this weekend/monday are very much in line with what some people are doing anyway, so im not convinced it will make a difference to the outcome, just that the government will be blamed instead of the individuals if there is an increase in cases. openning shops remains might make more of a difference.

Will pretty much the same for us for now, although OH is possibly meeting someone in our garden today, and maybe doing some distanced sword fighting on Thu in a group of 6. We'll see. I'm not sure whether by then we'll already see that things are creeping back up, so he won't go.
I agree with Bonners, that those of us who can stay fairly locked down without too much discomfort (of any kind) should.
