Find Care & Housing
You'll just have to continue explaining your logic to your mother, whether she understands and accepts it or not. If she's plugged in at all, she knows about Covid-19 and the restrictions we've all been subjected to for months now. You're doing this for their safety and health, and due to the fact that they're elderly & your DH can easily bring the virus home with him as a city commuter.

The next time you make such an offer to your folks, IF you ever do, I'd make it clear that it's contingent upon certain criteria being met. Only IF the conditions are right will you risk taking them in for a long weekend.

I'm sure they'll get over their anger eventually, since it's probably just disappointment they're truly feeling. You're doing the right thing, so try not to lose perspective and just keep their best interests at heart, just like you have been. Crazy how parents can make us feel like The Bad Guy so easily, isn't it?
