Things are just tentatively opening up, indoor dining and pubs was only yesterday.
I'm probably a bit irrational when it comes to the thought of people visiting. The last few months have been tough, for everyone, and the thought of people coming from all over again is freaking me out.
I don't think you're being irrational. I'm somewhat immunosuppressed, and even with things opening up again I continue to work from home, I don't go to shops (apart from to nip into the one round the corner for bread and milk, occasionally ice cream for celebrating, and often send my teen instead). I sometimes go to my partner's but not on public transport and when I'm there I don't leave the house/garden. I've seen my parents in their garden a few times. That's it. I accept I might be overcautious, but I am having to come to terms with the fact that my health is pretty poor at the moment, I don't feel like I am very resilient.
Plus, I want to be see my parents, and for them to see me, and though my mum is fighting fit, she is 70, my dad is nearly 80 and had a period of ill-health last year, so I want to keep myself as away from people as I can so they can feel happy seeing me, even at socially distanced safety.
Also, I don't want to contribute, even though each individual contribution is slight, to the R rate inflating again. If I had, oh I don't know, 278k Twitter followers, I'd like to think I'd be even more careful about modelling socially responsible behaviour.
Edinburgh, ffs. If I was her and I needed some solace and time out, I would have isolated for 2 weeks and then gone to stay with my parents and given them some time and comforted myself there. Or done the same and then gone to stay with friends for a bit. I think the behaviour is manic and the thought process irresponsible and selfish, as plenty of you have said.
