Supporting singles who have been alone for weeks
"Bubbles" may be good for nuclear families, but what about extended families and singles who often have a wide network of friends and relations they have been unable to connect with for weeks. Company (an even touch!!) is a human necessity and deprivation of it will continue if you only allow socialising in a set group of 10 people. Why not consider wider groups who can meet collectively or as couples? If bubbles are to be the way forwards, please consider the possibility of belonging to more than 1 (say 3?) bubbles
Why the contribution is important
Living alone with no prospect of being able to be part of a "bubble" (because many of our friends will have their allocations used up with family) is a totally depressing and demoralising thought. This is also important for those who do not live in traditional nuclear families and often have disparate groups they "belong" to. If we do not have the prospect of meeting kids from former relationships or new partners soon, it will begin to challenge our willingness to accept house arrest for much longer. Especially if we see other"happy families" able to meet up sooner...
