Only potential risk factor for me is the trips to the supermarket but my parents are in the same boat with their trips to the supermarket and that risk itself is low if you take precautions. This will probably change as things open up more and there are more opportunities for me to get out of the house but at the moment I'd be happy to visit them given my lack of exposure over the past few weeks.

And right now (even although I have seen lots of people not giving a fu(k), generally the majority have. and thats been enough to keep this under control, but right now is not the time to be complacent.

Risteard81 wrote: » Complete nonsense. There is no distance limit within the Occupied Six Counties so the RUC have no authority to prevent people crossing the so-called "border". In fact, even exercising within 2km of my own home I could enter the Free State as it is less than 2km from my house. But as I said no such distance limit exists so your post is entirely bogus and you should retract it immediately.

The risk for me is that we have done all this and kept it under control. The economy can sort of survive this. If we need to go through all this sh!t again in quick succession, then fu(k knows the impact. I still woouldn't not be going anywhere near the parents or anyone close to being at risk.

It'll allow them to meet a few different people, including family they've missed and yet we'll still be greatly reducing general interactions. It's a small step but I think it's one that people would appreciate.

If they say any time and can't then line that up with the future development of the disease, they'll get crucified. Playing it safe, ultra ultra hyper safe, we might get back to the old normal in a year or two. If they said that there'd be pandemonium, people would go nuts. Call it too early, people go nuts. Call it too late, people go nuts. If they say late June, we're going back to normal and then Austria and Spain and Italy all have case numbers fly off the handle again when resrictions are lifted, they'll have to change that June date and people will go nuts. They're playing it cautiously and close to the chest, frustrating as it is for us left guessing but they have to see what happens elsewhere because they really can't get their next call wrong. Providing a vision for people only opens the prospect of further annoyance and upheaval when some unseen variable makes that vision impossible, people will have gotten their hopes up only to be crushed. Again.
