[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe the U.K. still has normal international travel, isn’t banning large gatherings, and has stopped testing unless you are severely ill in the hospital. WTH!!![/quote]

The virus is there stopping travel won’t stop the virus.[/quote]

We are seeing clusters here in the US right now.  You can say were are not testing enough, but the reality is, if that were the case, our hospitals across the country would overflowing with very sick and dying people, which means if it IS widespread, then it’s mild for most people, i.e. does not require hospitalization. That’s a very good thing.  Stopping travel helps to stop new clusters as it’s quite clear per the CDC that it got here that way.

I agree the UK should be encouraging more social isolation. I told my older kids that their older brother is at risk, so they must be more careful about where/who they socialize. I put up a sanitation station by the main entrance so they can sanitize their hands BEFORE entering the house, cutting down on sanitation freakouts INSIDE the house. Non-ill friends can come in so long as they sanitize, but not in large groups. Go take a walk with your friends - the weather is getting nice! Precautions not complete isolation. My husband and I will practice a more austere form of social isolation, because we are in our late 50s.

My kid got pissed at me yesterday because he had to make two trips into his dorm room to get the things he is taking home. I didn’t want to go into the dorms, as it was a large group of potential carriers. My response to him was essentially GFY and get your stuff[/quote]

I like you.

What is your outside sanitation station?  Sanitizer?[/quote]
