Families
I would like to see my family again includes my children.grandkids and my mother. I want something along the lines of Australia who have two adults that can visit a household and Switzerland wheregrandparents can hug their grand kids.
Why the contribution is important
Because being deprived of this must be affecting people’s mental health, it is now 7weeks in lockdown and we seem behind other countries who are relaxing them, I Think personally people are not stupid, so I can see people being more cautious nowadays

We all have gardens and are happy to meet in them and to stay at a safe distance.
This must happen soon.

I think it must be possible also to travel to see one’s family.

We all need to feel some freedom to see our loved ones as we were not meant to live this way.
The curve has been flattened, the NHS has not been overwhelmed. We are adults and want to consider risks and make decisions for ourselves please.

Those with young children will be feeling the strain, especially if they are still trying to work or are/live with key workers who can't "share the load" so much.
Personally speaking, i know my household and those of our relatives have been very strict following the current guidelines, but it's taking it's toll. My daughter is too young to understand what's happening and frequently acts depressed despite our efforts to keep her engaged. After 7 weeks, nothing we can do is new. She needs to get out and see her extended family and, frankly, my wife and I need more time to work/sleep/clean/sit-quietly-doing-absolutely-nothing.
With some help with childcare, my family could continue the lockdown for a long time without being too affected (mentally) and I'm sure many more households are in the same position.
