(14,337 posts)Who do you think has been babysitting, if they live nearby, their grandkids when parents HAVE to go to work? Besides health care workers, whats about supermarket clerks, plumbers, electricians, and blue collar workers in general. Work from HOME?
My 71 year old husband with 2 heart attacks, Code Blue 4 times, Parkinson's, has continued to go out' shopping, visiting his elderly friends, driving around with them. We have visited our kids and grandkids across state lines, and they to us. We do not stay at home and have groceries delivered to us. I go myself to multiple stores a couple of times a week.
Husband and I have gone to indoor restaurants since they re-opened in PA. We went today to get our hair cut first time since March. Going to a July 4th BBQ at friend's (65) home.
Please do not attempt to tell us because of our age that we MUST stay home. I would call that Age Discrimination.
Edit: We live in PA with a Democratic Governor (same as California) who has just about re-opened the entire state although in 3 stages. Even NY where our kids live is doing the same. Stay in total lockdown until a vaccine is approved? Next problem. Mandate and manufacture 300M doses for the entire population?
