One "form" of exercise a day is ill-defined and not easily enforced. If in doubt, just choose a route that is less likely to have people on it. Quote

Joe Blog Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Serious question. Due to my wife being pregnant and my school being amazing we have both been at home with our daughter for the last week. The only people we see are my wife's parents who live a street away. They have been self isolating for the last week also to ensure they could still see our daughter. Are we being dicks to continue this arrangement? We pop to theirs and vice versa but we see no one else. Advice please, I want to do the right thing here. Quote

It's probably the hardest thing I've ever been asked to do, but I'd rather have three months on only seeing the kids through a glass window than put myslef at risk of never seeing them again. Quote

I don't think you're dicks, but after yesterday's PM address I would definitely stop that arrangement going forward to be honest. As hard as it might be. I know it's not the same, but face time them with your fairy daughter regularly instead. Edited March 24, 2020 by PunkStep Quote

Not selfish and incredibly difficult but its things like these we all need to sacrifice for self isolation to work. If your parents are anything like mine and well you need to be the one to make that decision to protect them. Quote
Paid Members Onyx2 Posted March 24, 2020 Paid Members Posted March 24, 2020 I echo all of @PunkStep's comment. Apart from the fairy bit. Quote
Joe Blog Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 That is the way I was leaning to be honest. It only takes every person to visit one other household and this entire thing falls apart. Thanks all. Quote
Guest Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 That Radio Solent clip has me wanting to smash my PC with a baseball bat, but all the electronics shops are fucking closed. Quote

We pop to theirs and vice versa but we see no one else. Advice please, I want to do the right thing here. And here's the problem. Everyone has an exception they'd like to make. I'd like to see my parents again before they die. But the government do not want ANYONE going ANYWHERE unless it's absolutely life or death vital. The virus doesn't discriminate between people who've been really good and are just popping out this one time, and cunts down on the beach. The more exceptions we all allow ourselves to make, the more people will die. My parents, your wife's parents. Stay at home. Quote
Guy Bifkin Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 I've quite enjoyed my first day of isolation so far. I've got a couple of workouts in and I bought myself a bass guitar at the weekend and have taught myself to play Super Freak and Stand By Me (badly). Quote

Guest Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Oh I'm sorted for a bat, don't you worry. No mug's coming in here after my toilet roll. Quote
