How strict are you on social distancing?

We’re doing this so we don’t all get it at the same time. But we will all eventually most likely get it. Educate yourself a bit.

Yes, but the longer you can put off getting it, the higher chance the treatment options and medications will be better.

Yes that’s the whole entire point of “flattening the curve.” Extending the time of the outbreak so you ensure that hospitals aren’t all overwhelmed with sick people all at once. You have a longer outbreak period but better heath outcomes. Key word, LONGER (but less severe all at once) outbreak period. The closures and social distancing measures help make sure not everyone gets sick at the same time.

Again. Waiting on my apology.

We are strict. We haven’t been had in person contact with anyone outside our immediate family for over 2 weeks now. We only leave our property to go for walks, where we make sure we stay away from other people. We are taking this seriously and trying to do our part.

Unfortunately, our neighbors aren’t taking this very seriously. Two other families on our cul de sac have continued to let their kids play together while also having guests over. Yesterday the kids were wrestling each other outside. Last night one of the families had at least 15 people on their deck for dinner. And our close friends two doors down who had been keeping their kids away from other kids texted us last night that it was “just too hard” to keep their elementary school kids from playing with friends, so they were going to start letting their kids play with other neighborhood kids.

So we are following all guidelines. I just wish everyone else would, too.

It’s hard but the better we are at it now, the sooner this will be over.

This is us too.

OP why are you not going outside? Please take your family outside. Stay at least six feet away from other families you may see, but please, go outside!

Are you kidding, there are all these runners and armchair experts zipping right up to us every time we are out in public, thinking being outside is sufficient protection and that 6ft is only for long periods of interaction.

Are you literally not going outside at all?? That's actually also very unhealthy.

Not much. If you are scared of me, don't come near me.
