Family/Friends Bubbles
By allowing small family groups to support each other through the extended lockdown/social isolation/social distance period could prevent people from being more present out and about in our communities. This could ease burdens on services that are currently going to support people in your bubble.
Why the contribution is important
By allowing small family groups to support each other through the extended lockdown/social isolation/social distance period could prevent people from being more present out and about in our communities. This could ease burdens on services that are currently going to support older people, single mums, vulnerable individuals. These services and volunteers are going from person to person so surely if we only see the same people this could also prevent more people spreading COVID. Also be very very mindful with the numbers of people in your bubble as if too small as in 4/6 this could really cause difficulties and trauma choosing or isolating family members. Often there are couples who have split up and re married so make sure all immediate close family members get to see grandchildren etc.
I do think this will certainly be abused by people not taking protective factors in mind and being selfish to others by not following your strict guidelines but unfortunately these minority are probably currently not following protocol. I would like to see way more police presence policing people out in our communities as I personally have seen so little presence or hear if any stopping and telling people to go home. The first week of lockdown people were getting stopped and people then started carrying key worker ID’s and letters from employees but I feel there are no barriers to people abusing the current Scottish government Guilin was at the moment. Other countries appear to be policing their communities much more and hearing the UK are the highest country in Europe in relation to deaths we have to start enforcing people to follow protocol and not leaving it up to individuals responsibility as the reality is more people contracting COVID and worse dying from it.
