Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[fazersharp]

From the government website -

What is a support bubble?
"If you form a support bubble, it is best if this is with a household who live locally. This will help prevent the virus spreading from an area where more people are infected." 

• This reinforces what Gnasher has said - in order words use common sense, don't be traveling 100+ miles. Also these kinds of distances will potentially run afoul of Teir travel restrictions/guidelines.
  
• And to counter the 'its all there in black and white' statement,  the above "it is best" statement above completely shuts that argument down. Clearly the government are completely incapable of being black and white about the rules, so how can they expect the population to?
  
• Regarding the number of people allowed in a support bubble, again the government have been unclear. But common sense should take over here. For example you could logically interoperate the pre-existing 'rule of six'. If both support bubbles combined is over six then, then don't be turning up with with the wife and kids. Then when you do have to do a support visit, don't be getting withing 2m of the person your doing the support visit for.
  

You cant fix stupid, turns out you can't quarantine it either. But moving on, this thread is bordering on getting political. Find something else to discuss chaps.

Also these kinds of distances will potentially run afoul of Teir travel restrictions/guidelines.

Will put aside the fact that there are no tiers right now but when there were tiers there was no restrictions on a support bubble moving between tiers.   

"Regarding the number of people allowed in a support bubble, again the government have been unclear."

Wrong - its perfectly clear from the gov.uk site ---You can form a support bubble with another household of any size

Then when you do have to do a support visit, don't be getting within 2m of the person your doing the support visit for

.Wrong also

from the gov.uk site you do not need to maintain social distance with people in your support bubble
