[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been getting together with one other family and my parents. Two of us have been going to stores (one from each family). We are all aware of the risk and willing to undertake it. For us the risk reduced social contact and support outweighs the virus risk. If anyone wasn't comfortable we would stop. [/quote]

This makes sense - pairing up with one other family.  [/quote]

Yeah, except she mentioned three families - hers, her parents, and friends.  But only two of them have been going to stores?  And how often?  And how do you know how many packages the other family has gotten?  Or your parents?  Or how many times someone from one of those families has stopped to chat with a neighbor while grabbing mail, etc.  Look, everyone is going to slip up at some point, whether it's getting close to other people, making an unnecessary trip to the store, forgetting to wash their hands after bringing in the mail.  Those are acceptable risks within a family because they kind of have to be.  But when you triple the number of families you're coming into contact with, you're also tripling the number of contacts you are all having.  You say you are all aware of the risk but I don't think you're calculating it correctly.  Ask yourself how you would really feel if your parents got sick.  You can't backpedal much at that point because it's too late.[/quote]
