The 360 | Can ‘social bubbles’ offer relief from lockdown loneliness?
One of the most challenging pieces of guidance to help stem the spread of the coronavirus has been advising people to limit in-person interactions to those they live with. For some, that means being stuck inside with only family members for weeks on end. For those who live alone, it means complete solitude at home.
Social bubbles are essentially partnerships between groups of people who all agree to limit their in-person contact to others within the group. This arrangement, in theory, could satisfy people’s social needs while adding only a small amount of infection risk. Story continuesBubbles may even prove necessary to avoid more dangerous outcomes if people become overwhelmed by “quarantine fatigue” and abandon distancing measures altogether, some psychologists say. “There must be a middle ground between all of us staying at home and all of us meeting the people we want in the ways we want to,” a British researcher studying the feasibility of bubbles told CNN.
