[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I just got off the phone with my 79 year old mom in Florida. She and my 80 year old dad haven’t changed a thing. She went to church this morning. They went to dinner last night. Planning on meeting up with my aunt this afternoon for some shopping.

Same with my parents and every one of my friends parents. All the 70+ folks are currently itching to fly, travel and hang out at large gatherings in public places[/quote]

Maybe they are tired? DH’s uncle keeps joking that pneumonia is an old man’s best friend.  :( [/quote]

My parents live in an out of state retirement community and NOBODY there is taking it swriously, or at least not the “cool kids” my parents hang with. 
They are going to church (purposely ignore the pastor’s request for no kissing/hugging, dinners, local events, etc. why?  Bc “the coronavirus is a liberal democrat hoax that they made up when the impeachment failed.”
I shit you not. I did not know HOW to start responding. Coronavirus is going to hit their commmunity HARD and there is no way I am going to be able to travel out of state, leaving my kids, when they get sick. This is going to be a $hitshow.[/quote]

Sadly, they will die.  Stupidity will finally kill them.  Darwin.[/quote]

They’ve already reproduced so that hardly helps us evolve as a species.[/quote]
