[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]neither my parents or parents in law appear to be changing their behavior, despite my recommendations.  every day is a new excuse to go out somewhere in public, a separate reason that "its ok" and some sort of exception to the need focus on social distancing.
yesterday, a new trash can at wal mart was a crucial need.

and these folks are at moderate risk because of a few run of the mill underlying health conditions.

multiply this by a zillion non-employed old folks (they are ~73-77) who are just restless and need 'go somewhere everyday' because its habit.

these old folks ARENT going to change.  we're in for a bumpy ride[/quote]

Yes, these are my parents, too. They went on a cruise in mid-February, they do tons of volunteer work, go to church, shop, socialize around their hobbies. My mom even complained about Trump-loving friends and neighbors who believe it's a Democratic hoax. There is a disconnect between their acceptance of health experts' warning and how they live their daily lives. I suspect it will change dramatically when they actually know someone who is sick. Then they'll probably lock themselves inside and ruminate about why they didn't stay home sooner![/quote]
