[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am carrying on with normal life.  You people are nuts. [/quote]

You’re nuts. Are you not watching the news? Italy is a disaster because people “carried on with life” like you are and it spread like wildfire. If you don’t care about getting into a situation where medical workers literally have to choose which lives and dies because there aren’t enough respirators, then go on carry on with life like we’re not in a global pandemic.[/quote]

You are nuts and apparently do not read. Italy has the oldest population in Europe and has the highest level of generational mixing in Europe as well (grandchildren, parents, grandparents living together and socializing). It spread like wildfire because with intact multi-generational families living in close proximity and a really old population, you will have more spreading of any disease. It is not because people dared to go into a Starbucks. China, a dictatorship, forcibly removed children from their parents, etc. in order to break up the family transmission rate. The US is younger, spread out more, and full of dysfunctional families/incels who practice social distancing as a rule are not wantonly disregarding public safety if they have a playdate. Get a grip.

It's fine if you have a different risk calculation for you and your family.  But I don't think it is reasonable for anyone to be expected to have unwelcome exposure because their AP has a different risk tolerance.  This is the sort of thing that either HFs and APs need to agree on or part ways. I would not continue to host someone who didn't willingly agree to social distancing at this time.  [/quote]
