If any of them contract Covid and authorities contact trace everyone will be implicated. My in laws are the same (but not 16, I don't know why your neighbours haven't complained them yet), my husband doesn't have this top of his mind either, but once I sound out that "hey no that's illegal" or "can you check who else is going so we dun go above the limit", thankfully he'll be all "oh yeah hor". The brain is just set up differently grrr. I'm pregnant, he's a civil servant so ignoring the fact that it's a huge risk to me, I am also worried if we get implicated he may lose his job. I'd raised before too when I arrived to realise we are above the limit, but everyone's just "oh yeah hor". 🤬
If it is an unsafe environment are you able to find alternative care? The current explosion in cases and some recent close calls is instilling fear in them so they have stopped any gatherings thankfully.
