@MDT There are 4 of us here (me, bro, sil and her mum) between 2 houses and we all have reduced contact at less than a few metres when possible. But we acknowledge that the 4 of us will remain in each others' lives e.g. we ate together on Thurs night, so we're all cancelling any non-essential contact with anyone else to reduce everyone here's exposure to risk. Even my psychology ap't happened by phone. One of us shops for all of us, as infrequently as possible, and as of today wears a mask for caution. My last driving lesson is on Tues morning (will sanitize all surfaces in the car before and after and instructor and I will both wear masks). Other than that I've cancelled all support workers and any group or social activities e.g. writing group, womens group, mental health group.
We have a plan that we will be able to create 3 completely separate areas here if we get to where anyone has symptoms and needs to be isolated.
Overall the policy we've decided on a few days ago is to do all this in advance (pre-emptively) in the hope that we can keep ourselves well but also contribute to 'flattening the curve' for our health systems to cope over the next period of time.
That's about all I think. Take care xo
