I agree (given the negative score of your comment) that this is a bit out of topic, or that it should be reframed to fit the given problematic.
But I wanted to extend my sympathies to you. I lost 2 amazing grand-parents during the first lockdown. Couldn’t see them during the weeks they were ill. I was lucky to be able to get a few minutes with the coffins before they got cremated. That period was very rough for all of my family. Good luck, I hope you and your father get out of this safe and sound.
(Just a note that this overall seems fairly fine as a comment and not an answer, which you did. Defying the rules in the comments isn’t generally good, but I did appreciate reading this comment, it did help me think a bit more clearly about how the lockdown affects families.)
People should be allowed to take the risk when it comes to trading a long time for a better time.
That risk is not the one motivating policy. If a person in a hospital or nursing home gets infected that’s not only a risk for them but also for others in that place.

Also, I’m sorry you don’t get to see your dad.
