From Saturday, households in England with a single adult will be able to ‘bubble up’ with one other household of any size.

Anyone in the bubble will be allowed ‘act as if they live in the same household.’

It means they can visit and spend the night at each other's houses - spending time together indoors without having to observe social distancing.

People be allowed to hug, kiss, share meals or even have sex in each other's homes for the first time since March 23.

"I missed the briefing. Can somebody tell me what he *actually* said?"

What he actually said, was to ease the loneliness for single people only! They would be allowed to join another household, be it another lone person or a single other family.

You can stay overnight at each others homes, as long as all other rules are adhered to, therefore if one or other became unwell, then all would have to self isolate.

Hope that is clear enough?

It’s not that simple and examples are :

The government gave examples for how the new support bubbles might work for single adults in England:

¦ A grandparent who lives alone would be able to form a bubble with one of their children, which means they could go to see them and interact with their grandchildren as normal

¦ A single parent could form a bubble with a parent or friend so they can interact as normal

¦ Two single people who both live on their own could form a bubble

¦ And a couple who do not live together could form a bubble, but only if they both live alone

No 10 also said that if a person lives alone but their partner has a flatmate, for example, then they can form a bubble but the flatmate cannot then form their own with another household.

If anyone within a bubble develops coronavirus symptoms, everyone within the bubble must self-isolate for 14 days.

Who can't create a support bubble?

Mr Johnson said the new rule is "not designed for people who don't qualify to start meeting inside because that remains against the law".

One part of the bubble has to be a single household, or be a single parent to children under 18.

It does not apply to grandparents who live together, people living in houses of multiple occupancy, such as flat shares, or to couples who already live together.

Those who are shielding cannot be advised to form a bubble, the PM said.

He added: "However, I want to say I know how hard it is for those of you who are shielding and we will say more next week about the arrangements that will be in place for you beyond the end of June."

I thought it was single person can meet parents or grandparent can meet with parent with child below 18 and to keep the social bubble to one other household.

So if goin meet same person fine but not for swingers to go screw different people every day.

Or am I wrong I thought it was clear.

Although as I’ve said before and had abuse msgs sent some ppl are already meeting strangers and posting pics and status updates about it when others are sticking to rules to keep us and family safe

A single person can visit one household only. Surely someone who has been alone for this long would prefer to go and spend time with family in their household, not be thinking they can enter random peoples homes for sex. This is definitely not what the pm said.

Bloody hell, so many people purposely twisting what was said to suit their own agenda.

This relaxing of rules is for people who live alone or is a single parent with only their children living with them. It isn't for couples who want a break or want a new sex partner, it isn't for people to just start shagging a regular partner but also going to see family and friends. It's for a single person to reach out to ONE household as a support network.

It's really not rocket science.

So long as you live alone or a single parent with children under 18 and your mum and dad live together in the same house you could form a bubble. Nobody else would be allowed to join the bubble though such as another sibling or single friend who lives on their own elsewhere.

Do either you or he live alone?

What if they live alone and still bubble wrapping with other singles??"

That's not allowed. Did you really not understand it?

Nope

Someone that lives alone or with children under the age of 18, no other adults, can choose ONE household to be in a bubble with, they can treat that household the same as if they all live together. However, neither party can then be in a bubble with anyone else.

Then yes, but he can only be in a bubble with your household, and nobody from your household can be in a bubble with anyone else.

Absolutely! As much fun as being able to find a playmate to be in "bubble" with would be.

Family is 100% more important!

I was delighted to hear that I can now hug my parents again.

Then he can have your household as his "bubble" however this is an exclusive arrangement. As such it means he would be choosing your house over family, similarly you would be choosing him over your family!

So what's the solution?

Every single person stays inside, no one has any contact with anyone else, and we all wait for a vaccine - which may come this year, next year, or never?

People need to be sensible and realise that this virus does kill people - I lost a friend to it - and it's still out there. But at the same time, there needs to be balance. Life can't stop completely for the next two/three/fours years.

I say this as someone who is high risk. I'm not going to be rushing out to meet strangers or have sex, but I'm not going for months or years without seeing my close family. It's not worth it for me.

It's just a way of slowly getting us back to 'normal' But no one is going to police this support bubble rule

Coronavirus has 3 key strains over past few years. MERS, SARS and now Covid-19. About 45% of the common cold season is coronavirus.

We may well get a vaccine. We may not. There will be more coronavirus issues in the future as our planet gets more and more crowded and more and more polluted. We have to learn to live with the virus as Hong Kong has. Friends there still work. The city still functions. Cases and deaths are minimal. Hasn't stopped Cathay Pacific needing a large bailout though which shows that no matter how good you are at containing, a pandemic is catastrophic in every way.

I think ever since the Cummings argument lots of people really not bothered what new rules are spouted on the Podium at 5pm every night.

I have seen many of the people in our area have many people in and out their houses different kids running into each other’s gardens. All the people on the beaches in the hot weather. Supermarkets make you stand 2ms apart outside then it’s a free for all inside including the shop staff. Then to top it all we have the crazies smashing up London and other cities. To be honest I think large percentage of people ignoring any restrictions now.

Or am I wrong I thought it was clear.

Although as I’ve said before and had abuse msgs sent some ppl are already meeting strangers and posting pics and status updates about it when others are sticking to rules to keep us and family safe

You can only meet one parent / grandparent not both if they live together "

if you are the single in the equation then you can go meet both parents if they are one household, if you live with people and they live with each other you can’t

pretty much the rule is you can combine 2 households as long as one of those households is a single

first day we were allowed out in scotland i was in the garden of one of my (female non sexual friends) ... that was who has been checking on me all the way through and she sacrificed seeing her family that weekend because she knew i had been alone the entire time and they all had others

Yes it’s all very clear

Just like everything has been clear all along

So clear even the man involved with the guidelines took it upon himself to interpret the guidelines to suit himself...

Even with his child in the car

Fact is, people will always twist and bend the rules to suit their own agendas, and to hell with the rest of us.

Here in Spain, we had an actual, proper lockdown. While we are easing the restrictions, we are still seeing regions being held back if there may be issues. We also had heavy fines. So people paid attention to the rules.

English government have proper messed up by not being clear and strict immediately. And sorry but a £30 fine that isn’t even going to be chased up is no deterrent at all to someone who doesn’t care about the people they may be speeding the virus to

While it’s clear what is intended by this bubbling up nonsense, people will interpret it their own way, just like Cummings did

I can understand people who are a couple that didn’t live together before this virus wanting to be able to be together but just putting it out there to hook up with a stranger I find quite bizarre. I think some people think it’s a different person they can meet each time, not a keeper lol

Obviously this is not an opportunity for lots of NSA meets, as implied by the OP. But I don’t think that it is helpful to pathologise people for wanting to have sex.

There’s an assumption in this post that people will have family who live close by that they can see, which isn’t the case for everyone.

And personally, I have been happy social distancing when seeing my friends and would get little benefit from forming a bubble with any one of them

If someone in a similar situation wanted to form a bubble with a fwb, who was also in the same situation then this is totally valid. But yes, also totally different from wanting to get your end away with multiple strangers

"The various interpretations of the bubble rule can be discussed all night, the bottom line is however, nor the bubble rule or the garden rule can be policed

True, but we are grown ups aren't we, and we know that the virus is in our community and spread by close contact. We really don't need police or politicians to make those decisions for us. I mean it's dangerous sticking your fingers in an electric socket, but it's not illegal. We just choose not to do it because we are intelligent.

"do I want to shag or have my son who turned 13 four days after lockdown?

Your son is under 18 so you still count as single"

That's good news then

"My bubble will be seeing my family not having sex with people of here.

My health comes 1st and my family health not catching the virus

I wouldn't say that either option is safer than the other.

If both people/households stick strictly to one bubble. Then it's exactly the same whether they are a FWB or your dad.

In both cases, the other(s) will also be shopping, or possibly working. So you have just as much chance from being infected by a family member.

...and as has been pointed out, not everyone has family nearby. I can't imagine what it must have been like for someone newly moved to an area with no local network.

There is only one 100% safe approach, don't meet anyone at all, social distance, and only leave your house for necessities.

Not many people can live like that though, especially as there is no real end point of this pandemic, just a long tailing off (with possible flare-ups).

little old town of Reading!

Must be especially hard for those in the shielding group to read some of these totally selfish comments.

Obviously this is not an opportunity for lots of NSA meets, as implied by the OP. But I don’t think that it is helpful to pathologise people for wanting to have sex.

There’s an assumption in this post that people will have family who live close by that they can see, which isn’t the case for everyone.

And personally, I have been happy social distancing when seeing my friends and would get little benefit from forming a bubble with any one of them

I’m glad someone else said this as I was just about to post the same thing! No local family, seen friends at a social distance and don’t feel a burning desire to visit them in their home or visa versa. So why wouldn’t I use the opportunity to visit someone I have missed physical contact with for months? No hugs, no kisses, no peck on the cheek, no holding hands, nothing. It’s interesting how it’s couples sneering, when I’m pretty sure they have had sex and physical affection during the whole period. It makes me pretty cross to read those judgmental posts tbh.

i think its easy to forget when you are in a relationship just how lonely being single can be in normal times let alone now when it pretty much means total isolation and no physical touch at all ... its not all about sex ... an arm round your shoulder , a cuddle when you are sad , someone holding your hand, even sitting side by side on the couch having a glass of wine and a chat... none of it exists for single people anymore and it can have a terrible impact on mental health

if the rule was just family the government would have said so, they specifically left it open because they know people will get that comfort from different sources depending on their own circumstances
