[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The level of empathy on this thread is disappointing.

You and your parents should self quarantine for the full two weeks. No grocery runs (only curbside pickup or delivery) and wiping down groceries.

This virus is insidious.

I think that families will have to do more of this.  I have friends who have brought their elderly parent to live with them - not for childcare as children are grown or high school aged-  but because it was the right thing for their elderly parent.  This way the parent does not have to go out for anything, or in the case of one person -their nursing home has an outbreak and there are 50 patients & caregivers infected.

Everyone's situation is different. My kids are older and more self sufficient - tween & teen.  I am mostly worried about my mother who is several states away. If this had happen when my kids were in preschool and a baby or kindergarten and toddler it would have been awful.

Finally there are people who are parents and who can't just deal with childcare at home while doing their jobs.  They are the people who are keeping us alive now - doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists.  The judgement on this thread has been so disappointing and so unnecessary.  We need the people who can save lives to be working - without judgement from other people.

pp who had to send her dd to stay with her mom - I'm sorry you are having to do that.  It sounds like the best option.  Hang in there.  [/quote]
