3.6rs Thanks for your concern. I understand what you are saying but our circumstances are a bit different from a casual, see your grand kids on occasion. They are too young to stay by themselves and in the situation we have now, with the virus I would not trust day care. We live 7 miles apart in a rural area and see them at least three times a week after school, more now that school is out for the rest of the school year, in fact for a few hours every day we are their formal teachers. If they have/ get it we will get it. I understand the risks, especially at 74 yrs old. At this point they are not socializing with any of their friends face to face, just on Skype, phone and email. We are taking precautions when out food shopping (the grand kids do not go to the food stores or any other commercial facility while the virus is an issue) and limiting what we do. This could be deadly, and difficult times are ahead for the whole world.
