My parents are both in fragile states of health that would make them particularly vulnerable if infected. In the small Aberdeenshire town they live in, they're not currently at significant risk (and are being cautions anyway).
We were going to go up to see them this month, for their anniversary. We've cancelled for the moment, since being London based we're much more likely to be exposed and possibly unwittingly carry it right to them, maybe even picking it up en route. We're hoping that more information and clarity about the UK situation is coming, so we can replan. But it's not easy to not go and see your folks when you know there's a pandemic that, if it randomly got to them, would have a frighteningly high chance of killing them.
