POLL Do you think it would be SAFE to go over to a friend's house?

But it’s just two people so it’s safe right?
Also this whole thing reminds me of FriendFace:
But what about their sanity? Bad enough for those poor folk being quarantined, don't add to their misery.
Given your MacRumors posts, I am not sure I am joking.
Well given a couple women have invited me over...hence me starting this thread I’m not sure what you’re talking about
Social distancing means, don't hang out, just stay at home.
I mean... if multiple people are inviting you to their house, during a pandemic, I'd say it's valid to question their sanity.
They could have ulterior motives.
"We've tried everything. I just don't know what—wait, are you a fan of The War of the Worlds?"
"You mean the ending? You're not seriously suggesting we invite him to our houses are you?"
Despite all of these people telling you, "no", you keep responding, "But....." I say, for the sake of the Darwin Award, "Go for it." 
When is the last time he listened to our advice.Despite all of these people telling you, "no", you keep responding, "But....." I say, for the sake of the Darwin Award, "Go for it."

If it wasn't for the fact that he could infect other innocent people, I'd say go for it.

Amen to both posts.
A heartfelt and profound amen.
Given that - world wide - in what is an exceptionally infectious world wide pandemic with an unusually high mortality rate - expert advice, government guidance and medical opinion all advise maintaining "social/physical distance" and strongly recommend that people stay at home (rather than socialise or otherwise engage in other non-essential activities), yes, of course, in these compelling circumstances, one can only suggest "Go for it."

Two questions presented:
Topic "Is it safe" - Maybe. Depends on whether you would encounter others on the way.
Poll: "Should I go" - If you want to be a good citizen, no.

Well, I haven't heard any good news since OP. No medication...no vaccine...no solution (from what I understand).
I'm thinking by this Wednesday if things don't improve I'm just gonna start planning to live my life, but in a safe way.
Like I'm going to meet up with only 1 girl, who has been quarantining a decent amount from what I know. Maybe she's met up with a friend or two besides her roommate but she's not going out to the bars (they're closed anyway lol).
I like her A LOT, and honestly I don't really want to wait much longer to hangout with her again. She's the girl you could say I'm kinda dating right now. We've actually gotten closer during this quarantine. Somehow NOT being able to see each other is making us both want to see each other more.
The girl I was referring to in the original post, I know her, but don't really keep up with her that much so I don't know how much she's been quarantining or if she's even been at all.
But the girl I'm thinking of is pretty responsible overall...should be generally safe if I take precautions (HOPEFULLY).

We're being advised to limit our contact with others to only 5 people. So small family gatherings at one location would be fine, as long as all the people each person is contacting is 5 or less, not counting those they live with. But having such gatherings at multiple locations in a "rotation" for larger families would not be advised.
Either you've explained that badly or the person who made this rule is a moron.
Well this isn’t good news. I still think 1 should be ok......Maybe....

Well I have no plans to meet so many. 5 is a lot if you ask me. 1 person, maybe a friend or girlfriend, seems less risky hopefully
Husband contracts COVID-19 after hosting anniversary party of less than 10
"That was our mistake. We thought we were okay because we had less than 10 people. But no, don't have anyone in your house."

Yes, it’s perfectly safe. But please honor the CDC’s recommendation for social distancing by avoiding the sideways and walking on the solid double yellow lines instead...particularly after dark.
If you must go over(and if every other Hieveryone thread is any indication he's going to do what he wants regardless of what any of us say) be sure to stay 6 feet away!
Actually, I'd advise that the OP follow the 6 foot rule on ANY future dates regardless of the COVID-19 situation.

You have so much more to worry about than coronavirus that can ruin your life. She could falsely accuse you of rape sending you to prison. You could get her pregnant and be paying child support for the next eighteen years. There is so many other things that could happen all the way up to she could be psycho and kidnap or kill you. The last one is probably highly unlikely but so is catching coronavirus.
I voted no for all the possible dangers but not coronavirus. If you, her, and anyone both of you lives with are under 50, have no medical conditions that could increase risk then you shouldn't worry.

I heard that the social distancing rules have been extended through April 30th.
I guess Wednesday was just aspirational.
But never say never...maybe a treatment will come out soon
