We all have to make various decisions based on circumstances we can’t control. They are obviously close to the family and perhaps if they don’t watch him then he will be left alone or a parent will lose their job and thus their home.

We are refraining from socializing with one exception. A good friend of ours comes over and stays every weekend for beer and cooking. Plus she is the only person we take fishing on the boat. She is single, in her 40’s and lives alone in a 700 ft apartment. We see her every weekend and decided to continue after the lockdown. She is not working and not socializing with anyone else. Is it a risk. Of course. But so is going grocery shopping. Or to work when we get called back.

People are not going to stay locked in their homes for 3-6 months. We just have to be prudent about the decisions we make.

Unfortunately, too many people are not even trying.
