Careful consideration to “bubble” idea
The bubble idea needs to be carefully considered. If say, as reported bubbles were 10 would this mean a family of 5 could only interact with 1 other family of 5 say. Also how does this work with people who are still expected to go to work alongside other people. Also, mental health implications if say people living alone having persisted through lockdown then find themselves not able to see friends or family if they aren’t able to fit into “bubble”. Trust should be placed in people to adhere to social distancing and isolate properly if symptoms show
Why the contribution is important
I think after close to 9 weeks of lockdown people are going to need to find some enjoyment, people in majority are sticking to the restrictions and as a result missing friends and family which in some cases is leading to serious mental health issues and pain, there needs to be a balance, I think for example if someone is pushing through lockdown hoping to see people they care about and then they don’t fit in that persons bubble due to family size it could be very damaging and lead to problems

A totally-sealed bubble system just won't work for varies circumstances of so many people. It will year families and friendship groups apart, and could well less to some people being even more isolated.
We need a much more flexible system for allowing some, even if limited, social contact with both close family and close friends even if those groups do not overlap (as is the case for most people).
