O/T Mothers Day Present

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

With the coronavirus we are only in contact with our family by telephone, or whats-ap.
My wife has had cards come for tomorrow, my oldest son telephoned me, & asked what he should get his mother has a present.
I said jokingly, make a package up of - Toilet roll, bottle of sanitizer, pack of paracetamol tablets, some tissues, pack of kitchen rolls.

My beautiful Mum is 85 in June and I for one will be calling down to see her tomorrow. I've dropped her some essentials off last week but she'll want a replenish somehow. I am cautious but I feel fit and healthy so does my dear Mum. I know I won't have her forever and it's her day tomorrow so I'm dropping my gift off to her. Bless her

This mentality you feel fine is utterly flawed as we know it is possible to feel fine and still be contagious, a key part of what makes this virus so dangerous.

All the doctors and public health officials around the world are screaming this message, but you seem to arrogantly think you know better than them. People who think they know better and ignore the advice are by far the highest risk and most likely to spread the virus.

Fortunately, your mum will probably be fine as a result of your visit and you probably don't have it yet, but my goodness, please start and be responsible.

Please let it be a one off. Keep playing with fire like that and eventually the vulnerable people you encounter will get burned.

Everyone, for their sake, please only visit elderly people if it is absolutely necessary to provide essential care. And isolate yourself if this is a role you need to provide.

Don’t forget the wine and chocs to keep them sane

Happy Mother’s Day to all that are in self isolation

Still visited but stayed outside at a distance.

So we've still talked and seen each other but in a safer way.

Good grief Brin you are putting her at risk.

To be fair to Brin he did say he dropped his prezzy off he didnt say he gave tit o to her directly plus he may have washed his hands etc before wrapping the prezzie...

For the record, I don't think its entirely unreasonable to visit if appropriate precautions are taken. I think cautiously giving someone a tablet/smartphone and teaching them how to use video calling might be a worthwhile thing to consider.

The problem I had was with Brin's mindbogglingly ignorant attitude towards his risk levels because he feels 'fit and healthy'.

Oi! Dr F*****g Kildare, I had the common sense to let her unlock her door and leave it ajar. I placed her present inside the doorway as she stood back down the hall and in her kitchen. There was no bodily contact with a kiss on the cheek that I longed to give her and wish her happy Mother's day. My entire stay took no more than 30 seconds and it was very upsetting for us both.

How do you know MY state of health and what I may or may not have. You come across at times as an arrogant F*****g know it all, when in fact you don't know it all.

We spoke later on the phone, happy now?
