One other person, once a week
Vulnerable people should be able to see one extra person - as long as neither have symptoms.
This could start with once a week to monitor its impact.
This would lessen the impact on people’s mental health and ability to get support.
From the feedback on this platform and the media, the impact on people’s mental health is massive, especially those who are alone or need extra support.
Vulnerable people include:
• single person households
• elderly
• partners who live apart
• single parents
• those with mental health conditions
• people who are disabled or with chronic illness
• parents with children with ASN who need support from family
It would be interesting to know collectively, what % of the population this effects. I’m confident it would be very high.
Why the contribution is important
• This simple, low risk action would have a massive impact on a very large number of people.
• We NEED to first focus those who are vulnerable. This situation has a worse impact on those who are vulnerable and than those with the physical and emotional support of others.
• The absence of human contact and support should not be underestimated.
• The fallout of resulting mental health issues will have a different kind of overwhelming impact on the NHS
• It will be a significant life line for those who really need it and allow them to cope with the remainder of the lockdown with more resilience.
