I think that as long as everyone follows the 'rules' as set by various authorities then we are all doing our best. Do these rules change frequently, of course they do! But the situation also evolves constantly as well. It is confusing for anyone to keep track of, but I trust in the authorities to follow the best advice of the most knowledgeable scientific resources available (well at least here in Canada), when making these rules or guidelines.
Personally, I didn't cancel our trip next week (taking about a $600 loss) to the Laurentians because I was afraid or shamed by someone. I cancelled because the government of Quebec said don't travel from Red Zones to Orange Zones, and I'm in a Red Zone. There are currently no restrictions on travel within Ontario that I am aware of, so I would certainly go to a farm outing as long as the host is following the rules around gathering sizes and infection prevention - and it sure sounds like they are.
If everyone follows the rules as they evolve we will get through this with minimal loss of life. There is no shame in following the rules and guidelines. It is often when people ignore and flaunt the rules that infections start to multiply. Ignoring the rules also often leads to stricter rules as the infections spread. In not playing by the rules as set in various jurisdictions, I think there is (or should be) great shame.
