Reducing social contacts

Sir, – A parent drops a toddler to granny, a six-year-old to school, then gets a packed bus to the supermarket where they work. Over an eight-hour shift, they interact with hundreds of people, before getting the bus back to granny’s again to pick up the kids.

Dr Colm Henry’s advice? “You don’t have to be out every night of the week.”

This advice is divorced from the day-to-day reality for most.
