Household bubbles/extended households

The guidance on 6/2 needs looked at. People who live alone who do not already have an extended household should be able to meet up with more than one other person at a time.

Say 4 single people living alone who are not part of an extended household bubble, those 4 should be allowed to meet up together, if they lived 2+2 they would be able to meet but as the live alone they can’t.

Why the contribution is important

People are lonely, they want to meet friends but current restrictions do not let them.

    I do understand the need to limit contact with others but it’s becoming more baffling as time is going on. I can have tradespeople (e.g joiner, hairdresser) in my house who may have been at ten houses before mine, but not my sibling who lives alone, for a cuppa and a chat?! My children spend all day in school with loads of other children but can’t have one friend round in the evening.

    Doesn’t make sense and shouldn’t be happening. We should as adults be respected to make an informed decision with whom we mix. There have been families since the start who have ignored regulations and have regularly met up. My son and his fiancée are both working from home, do not mix with anyone else, only go out to shop, but cannot visit us or my 85 year old father. Fortunately we are in an extended family with him so he is not lonely. But all during lockdown we heard hot tub parties, witnessed family get together and saw photos on social media of families ignoring the regulations. It feels like our sacrifice has been in vain, we have been the ones who have been the mugs in not breaking the rules. Doesn’t help when MPs break the law and get away with it. Who says crime doesn’t pay?
