Yes I believe that's correct. Someone I know answered the phone to his Doctor to check he was getting on OK with his shielding - thing was he was out on his bike at the time😀

Have your grandkids and kids been following the advice? I would weigh up the + v the - and make a decision. FWIW, and I know everyones situation is different, my FIL has been sheilding as he has his problems. We have had him round today for a coffee in the back garden so he could see the kids and have a chat, and we have been round to his back garden to do likewise. We are creating our own bubble as far as we can, it's the only way forward we can see. A lot depends on how sensible people are to do this , but for us it seems workable.

I'm tempted to ride round to my folks, and take a few beers for me and my dad to sup on his decking in the back garden. PS - It's nearly all off road, so won't matter if I fall off on the way home.

What are folk going to do who have a condition that means this virus is likely to kill them, long term ? MIL can't see us at all (nursing home) and I've two neighbours that haven't gone further than their front door - both would die from CV19.
No wonder people are worried.

It's difficult to weigh up the risk's mental health need's have to come into play too.
Meet up with good social distance and out doors is low risk. Wear face covering if you can that will help too.
As long as everyone understands why it has to different and how important it is to have like that.
My outlaws have met the grandkids a few times going that. As for hugging know it's not the same but they came up a something different they do shadow hugs.
Ride out and a drink maybe just what you both need. You both will have to weigh up the risks.
Depends on high risk he is as long you both stick to the rules which I don't think will be problem the risk is low.
He can always stay well in side for a bit of extra comfort.

My dad's not really at risk, fairly healthy, just the wrong age.
Oh well the risk is low then i'd go for it if your both happy , don't make it a daily thing and don't have one too many

Went to see my parents at the weekend: they're on their own and haven't had visitors for months. And yes, we were outside the house and kept our distance.
Today however we've just had a second holiday cancelled; the first was cancelled in May for early July and they had only taken the deposit. The second was a replacement at Center Parcs and a refund of the full amount could take months.
Booked a third option instead at Forest Holidays for the same week but in North Yorks - hopefully that will happen! It's about the only thing I could find for the first week in July, which is the only available week for SWMBO this summer with her working on a Covid rehab ward. She needs a break away from everything after the trauma to date, with a lot more to come.

Yes I recon my mum and dad are in the same boat. Haven't left the house but am planning to meet them in the garden so a short visit - but they live quite far away so a long drive for a short visit. Or a 200k bike ride which is another possibility.
I am also concerned if my kids are ever going back to school or if my son can start his A levels in September.
If you've never been it's a nice get away plenty to do on site some great walks. Hope you booked one with a hot tube

Yes and a bar-be-cue. It's the Keldy site as that was all we could get. If it happens we'll have days out and a surprise treat booked for her

Starting to meet the odd friend for a beer. We take our own beer and a picnic. Ride to a village green to meet up somewhere. Each enjoy our own beer and a bit of food as a suitable distance apart but still able to talk and hear each other. Then we ride our separate ways home. Having the odd family zoom session, though zoom / video conferencing isn't my favourite.
