Thought it was the younger generation that were arseholes , I can’t keep up
Think it's probably a bit of both tbf, but some of the elder generations certainly don't help themselves.
I spoke to my eldest brother yesterday for the first time since this virus outbreak became more serious. He's over 70 but as fit as a fiddle. His wife is also over 70 but has a serious respiratory illness, and also had a heart attack about 5 years ago.
On top of that his grand daughter is currently undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. She has a young child who is about 3.
I phoned him yesterday, mainly to enquire over my great niece. Found out that she was there in the house with them so had a chat with her. With her immune system being wiped out by the chemo I mentioned whether she shouldn't be self isolating and I don't think she even grasped what I was asking her.
Spoke to the brother again and was telling him about my trip to the supermarket this week, and he said he wouldn't know what they were like near him as Lin (his wife) does all the shopping. I also found out that she also looks after the great grandchild whilst he mother goes to hospital for chemo, and also looks after her other grandchild everyday. I asked him 3 times about Lin self isolating and he just ignored me and changed the subject.
He did say they had cancelled mothers day lunch this weekend, but I'll guarantee it'll be all round to his for Sunday lunch instead. With Lin doing the shopping and the cooking.
Me and the missus are wondering whether we should be doing more social distancing and then we come across such a lack of self awareness. The mind boggles.
