@jolinda the thing is though, I could not be snitty with my son, he just cares so much and worries about us. I know his advice is out of love. He is extremely conscious of our ages and that we have both have had serious issues. He is grateful that we are here and he would like us to be here for a long time. I quote Steven Wright to him -- "I'm going to live forever; so far, so good". 😉

@contentandwell
It sounds like your son loves you very much and is genuinely concerned for you. He may be worried about something bad happening to you and feels like he needs to be protective. His suggestions sound like they are being made with good intentions.

@contentandwell right now, my husband is 800 miles away from where I am. We are still living in two different households until he retires. He is a kidney transplant recipient. He is very aware of his increased vulnerability due to age and transplant. At the beginning, I was making comments and he didn't like that I was being such a helicopter wife. But now he has changed his tune and he is more careful about everything. Probably somebody other than me said something to him. As of this morning he is working from home rather than going into the manufacturing plant. But he is also increasing his hand washing and his interface with others has dropped to almost nothing. I think that in the end it is each person's responsibility to make the decision of how they will handle this epidemic.
