DW wants to cancel the monthly cleaning person. She'll get her way, but my opinion is that the house smells like bleach after the cleaner comes. She's way younger than us and we could easily avoid her.
DW's sister (widow who lives alone near us) and we continue to visit and cook together once or twice a week. Neither she nor we see anyone else. We have discussed and think this is safe enough for the moment, but might curtail when things get worse.
The sad part is that our nephew, 23, had been living in one of the spare bedrooms. He works at Starbuck's, and we were wondering if we could live with that, when he announced that his girlfriend was about to take a job cleaning hospitals. Yikes! We told him he'd have to leave. Next day, Starbuck's permits employees to take a month off, which he takes advantage of, and says he and girlfriend will stop seeing each other for the duration. Makes us want to let him stay, and we went down that path until I asked "what happens if you get sick?" We decided to stick to the decision, can't put that much uncertainty down the road when options might be fewer. Everyone's upset, including his parents. We think the decision was right, but we didn't handle it well, never having dealt with a pandemic before.
