Genuine question here Be honest ...How many of you feel somewhat violated by all this as we speak despite the good reasons for why it's happening.
With one person in our household in the vulnerable category and both of us over 60 we are more than happy to comply with the requirements - indeed we are probably going above and beyond them for our own protection.

Nailed it.

We've taken a conservative approach whereby: (1) we're now not venturing out for food and groceries as we are having them home delivered; (2) the local medical practice are doing Webex consultations so that's another reason off the list and (3) almost everything else is on the not necessary list.
