No one in hospital sick either positive cases are in isolation.The velvet glove is being used by the government. Trying to drum the concept into my wife's family. I can't tell her anything and that's normally fine but they still want to do family get togathers.  Their idea if self isolation is family only mines more on a house hold level. You can't avoid all contact but you can minimise and Saturday lunches are not needed.Getting sick of "it's to hard with the kids". Different generations I suppose I was raised children seen not heard, now it's do whatever the hell you want. Relative to most countries I'm optimistic. Downside we're still Anglo Saxons culturally, can't tell me what to do!!!. We're a bit saner than most though so maybe.They haven't locked down everything yet, wouldn't be surprised if it's the end if the week.Sat in a hill with the wife yesterday looking over the ocean. Was serene. That's not gonna last much longer.</blockquote>
