No bud, other than looking at dads ear during facetime calls I havent seen him since this started.......admittedly I was very tempted a few times to say f` it & drive the back/country roads to visit/speak  through the window but that would make me as big a bellend as all the others flouting the rules so have stuck to sorting out his grocery deliveries and phoning him regular.
I have no idea if this is/was the virus, if not for my temps being all over the place I would have put it down to just a bad chest infection, better safe than sorry so have been keeping my distance from the rest of my family & dogs as much as possible and being wary of touching anything also, thankfully none of them are showing any of my symptoms. Hoping I am well over the worst of it and the effects start to tail off soon.

Yeah, hear what you are saying about driving and not doing unnecessary journeys. My car has not moved since early March so I reckon I've been compliant on that front, but the wife has to use hers to drive to work. The MOT expires on her car next week but I believe there is a 6 month grace period on that so we should be ok. Might have to get the Mrs to rotate the cars if this goes on for much longer, or mine and daughters cars might not start at all when the time comes.

The only reason I do visit my Aunt and talk to her through window is that she lives close by and I worry about her cracking up out of loneliness with no contact with anyone. Is your dad on his own? Maybe not so bad being in isolation as a couple?
