Social Distancing

I view social distancing the same way you do. In Indiana, there's an executive order prohibiting social calls so it's not an issue. I'm not sure where you're at so I don't know what the legality of the situation is, but here it's a Class B Misdemeanor not to comply. I know you said you've already discussed your concerns, but you need to keep bringing this up until he gets it ESPECIALLY because you're high risk. Your safety should be more important than his social life.

To me, social distancing means you do not spend time with anyone that you do not live with! So, in my opinion, your FH is wrong! We do not have anyone over to our home, and we do not go over to anyone else's home!

I agree with you. Social distancing needs to be followed. Right now I am going to work daily, I work in a small law firm. My FH is laid off right now and doesn't go anywhere besides the grocery store. I don't necessary follow the shower rule; I do wash my hands and change out of my work clothes when I get home. But I only am in contact with 3 other people and that contact is next to none in our office right now. I would love to see my family but I know it's for the best that we don't right now. As a person with allergies this sucks, because I am constantly clearing my throat and my nose is gross; along with itchy/ running eyes. I cleared my throat at Target the other day thought a lady was going to tackle me (was all the way down the other side of the aisle more than 6 feet away). Because of these allergies I'm afraid that others think I have the virus. So my FH has been the main person to go out for things lately.

OMG I am so sorry! Your FH is definitely in the wrong here--social distancing means no spending time with anybody who you don't already live with. Please try talking to him again. Since you have an underlying health condition, him bringing other friends into the house is putting you at greater risk and that's really unfair. Maybe you could even say you talked to your doctor or something, and that you're under strict instructions to not be in contact with anyone outside of the immediate household

I am in agreement with you. If they don't live in your house, you don't see them. I had to stress my concerns to my FH early on about this. Obviously the casinos in Las Vegas are closed, that means all him and all his work buddies aren't working. Some of them have asked him several times to come hang out for some beers. Uhhh, NO! He went over to a buddies house maybe three weeks ago and hasn't gone anywhere but the grocery store since. STAY HOME people.

I agree with you too. my husband wanted to finish his tattoo and he said it's just him and the artist and i'm like uh what the heck? you don't know who else the artist comes in contact with though. the point is to minimize the amount of contact we have with others as much as we possibly can and hence why only essential things are open.

I agree with you. I am in Ontario Canada and right now it's just limited to gatherings of 5 or less. I think the news needs to be more blatant to people about not visiting with people outside your household. That being said, I do the following:

1) My sister is disabled and lives in a group home. 3x a week I stand outside her window and talk to her through the screen for 10 minutes or so. No physical contact there.
2) I have been visiting my parents 1x week (they live 10 min away) but they sit on their front porch and I stand in the driveway and talk to them. No getting close or going inside. I drop off groceries for them.

Those are the only people I see. My fiancé lives with me.
He views it a tad differently than me. He visits his parents for long visits inside about 1x weekly. At their house. However, his parents haven't left the house in 2 weeks so he feels it's safe. I am not willing to go inside, so I haven't been going there. Those are the only people he is seeing

The word social distancing grinds me gears. It's nothing but a brainwashing word.
