QUOTE="Pope John XXIII, post: 2295360, member: 9042"]Every other parent who has had COVID has had to stay at home and cope, because that was what we were told to do. The guidance was that this was to save lives.
View attachment 39544It says "stay at home" three separate times, not "do whatever you think best, even if that means driving 264 miles".
How many families have just done their best to cope because of this? Everyone who has followed these rules should be incandescent about this.
And every one of us is now wondering whether to bother with following the letter of these restrictions when the ones making the rules do whatever they want and the government aggressively defend them for doing so.[/QUOTE]
As I say I don't think that the decision he made for the child was a bad one.Furthermore ,although I agree the government's advice given has not been the best,the government website does state that those with children should try and fulfill the advice as best as possible. Hence indicating that having a situation such as 2 parents with covid with a 4 year old child may be an exception for example.
