Nope. The travel is risky. Everyone stays where they are. They have their groceries delivered, and only go out for fresh air and essential appointments, with masks. No socializing in person.

You can guide them through everything and even order masks and gloves and hand sanitizer for them. [/quote]

"Guide them through...?" You millennials need to have a little more faith in your parents. They're in their 70s, not 2-year-olds. You are not their parents, teachers, or superiors. [/quote]

Everyone needs guidance at this time. I'm glad my parents in their 70s are willing to listen to guidance even when it comes from their kids. If OP's parents are living in a state with skyrocketing cases, ti's highly likely the officials in the state aren't advising people correctly in how to slow the spread.

OP I think you have to talk with your parents.  A move like this requires thoughtful planning and can't be done based on emotion, even though I understand your fears. If they are taking strict precautions they should be fine.[/quote]
