Our kids are teens. DH and I are in our early 50s. I'm seeing horrific treatment - long term for Covid-19 patients in their 40s and 50s. I just can't imagine leaving our teen kids while we go on medical treatment or die unless they have to. DH is still working and he is trying his best to protect me which includes staying in the guest room. I'm still working, but online, and I'm doing my best at keeping our house "clean". I think everyone should do their best. It's just frustrating to see people not even trying!

I don’t have any fool proof suggestions. I wish I did. The only protections we are taking are younger kids do not leave the house, I only go out once a week for groceries, and cleaning and hand washing. DS 19 is home from college and goes out fishing here and there. As far as DH he is at work all day and then comes home, stays in and lives normally. We are also just taking it one day at a time. I don’t know what else to do.Anonymous 6 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 8:45 pmI don't know. We have had the first case in our area so this is new for us. DH has been working 12 hour days so we don't see each other much and he eats at work, not at home. We're just taking this one day at a time and trying our best to protect our kids. Yup, he's staying in the guest room for now. It's not a hardship. What would you suggest? What protections would make you feel comfortable?MrsDavidB wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 8:39 pmSo he will stay in the guest room for months? I just can't imagine doing that. Do you guys also not eat dinner at the table together or go for walks or sit in the car in the front seats when you go to the grocery store? I think responsible people are trying their best but if the man is still living in your home he can bring it in whether you are sleeping together or not. He is out in the world and then comes into your protected home. I'm not knocking what you are doing at all I just can't see living separately for months or however long. This whole thing is a nightmare.Anonymous 6 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 8:21 pm

Apparently you need to create a vacuum sealed bubble to live in so you keep your husband's germs away from you. No S*x, no kissing, no eye contact.MrsDavidB wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 9:02 pmI don’t have any fool proof suggestions. I wish I did.

And for those saying that “meh, if he gets it, we’ll all get it too”, my best friend is now at the hospital with Covid-19. Her husband tested negative. Her older son also tested positive but his wife didn’t. It’s not a guarantee that just because someone has it; their partner will. Obviously, the more contact, the greater the risk.

There is no way that we can risk both of us being hospitalized. Are we seriously the only family that is thinking about this? People who are required to work and their families, what kind of provisions, if any, are you guys making?
