advice is designed to deter idiots from doing reckless things, not sensible people.

Let's face it, if healthy 70+ year-olds are being allowed (encouraged, in fact) to congregate at supermarkets, then the idea that we all desperately need to self-isolate to get through this can be considered *******s.

I'm planning to get my dad to move into a local Airbnb for a month or so to keep him from going mad. The kids and ourselves will be effectively self-isolating from tomorrow and as long as he does the same then there's no real risk in us mixing with him if we're sensible about it.
