I'm the father of an at risk child, there is absolutely no way we can totally isolate ourselves from society at large.
I could go into depth about our situation, but what I came here to say is: don't believe any hand waving politician who says we can set up some sort of parallel society, where all the venerable are sheltered, whilst the rest go about our lives. It's just the latest incarnation of survival of the fittest.
If New Zealand, with probably the world's best geographic / technological isolation, can't prevent infection, how can we expect that from a family of 4, an old man living alone, a recuperating heart patient?
