[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're giving opinions. Many of us have opinions that seeing parents once a year is essential.[/quote]

Except when we could kill them by visiting.

There aren’t enough quick turnaround tests to tell if everyone is covid free.

But this is likely to go on for quite some time. No one is likely to travel over the winter. If you want to see your parents at all this year, probably now is the only and safest chance. Seems likely infection rates will be higher in the fall/winter like flu rates are -- especially if schools open.

There isn't a zero-risk option, but there's not a zero-risk option for them to go grocery shopping or do other things they're likely doing already anyway. A lot of the older people I know are actually taking more social risks than the younger people.

There's no zero-risk option seniors aren't going to pass away from something else before you see them again if you aren't able to travel for 2 or more years. There's no zero-risk option you wouldn't die in a plane or car crash on the way to see family even without COVID.[/quote]
