Hiya valued Bruffo's members. Here is my idea of how to lockdown from the Coronavirus.
We need “clans” of people. I will use myself as an example.
I have one housemate. We sit down, agree who we NEED to see:
So.....
1) Our respective gf/bf
2) Nobody else really
So that’s it for us!
So then we work out with our gf/bf who they are going to be seeing. In this case it is one of their housemates, and the other lives alone. So this leaves one person as a variable. We then have to discuss with them the same thing.
The idea is to eventually and as quickly as possible close the group.
So let’s pretend that one remaining person I mentioned lives by themselves and is only seeing one other person who is in our group already.
Our group is then closed into 6 people who can mix provided we do so sensibly, ideally staying in the same place if possible; certainly not catching the bus to each other anyway.
After 10-14 days of keeping ourselves to that group only (with the exception of perhaps a quick careful shop visit I guess), provided nobody shows symptoms, we can assume as best as possible that our group is “clear”. We could then theoretically mix with another group (such as our parents) who we trust to have been following the same plan.
Of course you could employ even tighter measures, but this is just my suggestion of how to isolate for the next few months without being totally isolated. For those risk takers, in theory every two weeks you have the option to grow your party, while still keeping out of the way of people who want to keep to themselves.
Lastly, anybody that does have symptoms has My Sharona playing loop on their phone so people know to keep a few meters distance.
Best wishes anyone.
