Is there a shade of gray between social distancing/ stay at home and seeing others that you don't live with ( family , boyfriend etc)?

If you have no symptoms and have been asymptomatic (no symptoms) and the family is asymptomatic, both parties are practicing social distancing/ not working in healthcare and the family is not a part of the high risk community (>65 years, pregnant, heart issues, kidney issues, respiratory issues, diabetes) then it is OK. It's your choice ultimately. I go to visit my family about once a week on the same day, but no one is sick, no one has been exposed, we live in a low populated area and no one is classified as high risk. However my 82 year old grandmother who I used to visit once and week, with my children, I have not seen in a few weeks because of her age.

It's a tough decision. One you don't want to make and regret. It's a personal decision.

Yes there are higher risk groups you def want to stay away from.

However, as I've said many times here, we are all at risk. This virus does not discriminate.

I'm not good at gray, lol. I'm more of a black and white.

Whatever decision you make be sure to follow the rules put into place. Be careful to protect yourself and those you are with.

Stay safe

What a thought provoking picture its says so much. However I am torn between the black and white of the current requirements. Your question raises many for me x

Are you alone ?

How far apart are you ?

what is the relationship about ?

How personally damaging are you finding present situation. ?

A question for me would be are their other people living in the grey between Black and white ? That is easy to answer

I am sure you have personal questions of your own

My bottom line their Is no black or white just an absence of light or a full spectrum.

The present situation is not a cure it is simply intended to slow it down.

Hope helps be good to yourselfxx

Thank you for reaching out. That really means so much to me. I'm trying to create that safe and sacred place here at home. It is tough because I love rough my daughter who, although is loving and soulful, is very angry and depressed (due to a laundry list of things) more than not. I'm trying to find answers from within that I am really struggling with. How are you doing? What's brought a smile to your face lately?
