Calm down Sunny, you're getting all worked up over an argument nobody is making. The advice given is to reduce social interactions. The advice also given is that the risk is lower outside compared to inside.Really. So the virus has been spread by schoolchildren has it? Show me the evidence of that? And when you have locked up your kids for two weeks while adults are free to do want, and the government say schools will be closed for another three weeks, are you going to keep them locked up again? How long exactly are you going to tell your kids that they cant go outside and play with their neighbour in the garden. How long are going to keep your kids cooped up inside exactly to avoid meeting one single child?
There is so much nonsense at the moment. We now apparently have a gp come on here telling me that my 6 year old cant see another child for two weeks because that is the advice been given. While I am free to go to work, use public transport, go to shops, go to pubs, eat out, go to airport, get a flight. Why because the virus is the children's fault?
If one of you can show me one bit of official advice saying kids have to be kept isolated, then I will change my mind. And minimising social contact is not isolating children. People seem to think this is only a two week thing and have panic bought for two weeks and locked up their kids. They seem to think it will he back to normal then. It wont be. There might come a time when we need to isolate ourselves totally but it is not now. And any medical professional or anyone else claiming that a young child playing with another child is endangering the citizens of this country should be ashamed. Groups of more than 100 have been banned. Not 2 kids kicking a football outside.
Agree with everything else you said Sunny but I think there has to be limiting of interaction with friends here. That's not to say a total isolation but indoor play dates should be discouraged. Playing outside is considered low risk so that should be fine once the children are taught to wash their hands immediately when they come back in and to follow the other advice given.
So the doctor on the radio station said every child should be isolated? What was his name?
