“Trying to get old people to stay in” is the funny but frustrating truth
It’s a bit tricky keeping up with the coronavirus prevention advice, beyond washing your hands for 20 seconds several times a day, keeping them away from your face, and social distancing.
In addition to that, people showing coronavirus symptoms should self-isolate for seven days, and their household should self-isolate for 14 days.
The main aim is to stop vulnerable people from contracting the illness, with the immune-compromised and elderly being the most at-risk.
But, have you tried to get an old person to self-isolate? It’s not easy, as this sketch by stand-up comedian Ignacio Lopez hilariously demonstrates.

I ran some supplies to my parents' house this morning: just a few bits that they couldn't get over their way due to shelf-stripping idiots. They're in their 70s, and self-isolating. As soon as I arrived,
