Let me start by saying that nowhere in the CDC guidelines is there any mention of bubbles. Regardless of how you feel about COVID restrictions you are either following them or not. Inventing terms like “our bubble” so that we can hangout with friends is not following the guidelines.
As a mom in Metuchen with small kids trying to follow the rules and teach my kids to do their part in society and also follow the rules I say thanks to all my neighbors who have done the same. To the ones that haven’t and have instead chose to expand their “bubbles” to include other households I ask why they believe what they are doing is right when really they are no different then those who blatantly break the rules. I also ask if they ever considered how their actions have effected other kids who are following the rules. Trying to explain to kids why they can’t have friends over or visit Grandma is hard enough without having them see the kids across the street in and out of each other’s homes and relatives coming and going. It’s extremely selfish.
Please. If you are not going to follow the guidelines then stop making up your own terms and trying to sound intelligent and responsible. Some of these folks are same individuals preaching on Facebook about how we are all in this together and have to do our part. I guess our part is important as long as our children aren’t effected.

The real issue is if you are living with someone at risk and if you want to expose them to it, if not youre living life in fear for something that has a 99.6% success rate.
My mother and father -in-law 73, 71 and her grandmother age 96 all contracted it from the nurse that visted their home, they were sick for a few weeks but all survived and doing well. My friends Dad on the other hand in his 70s with diabetes and some other issues who would have probably soon got it and passed away after being put on a ventilator which we now know is not what to do.
I spent the month of November down in Florida with little restrictions and was out and about with my family with no masks etc. and nobody caught it or has caught it.
If youre meeting with people who are not sick or are at a health risk living in a bubble is fine.

We don’t live in fear. We are just doing our part to slow the spread so people like your friends Dad do not die. So the real issue is not if you live with someone that’s high risk but the fact that there are plenty of people that are at high risk that we need to protect. Limiting your concern to your own family is selfish. There are plenty of threads on all kinds of forums and Facebook arguing about masks and guidelines. This is not why I started this thread. This thread is about those who preach following guidelines but alter them to fit their own needs.
This is your opinion. I’m not arguing that but it is clearly not what is recommended by the CDC. They make no allowances for bubbles.
Just ignore what he writes, as so many of the regulars in this forum have learned to do.
To provide just one example of his wrongheadedness, a while back he stated that Chris Christie was the most popular governor in NJ history... or something to that effect. In reality, Christie left office as the least popular governor in any state, in the last two decades.
children need socialization and a life. you choose to lock yours down. viruses don't just disappear. All it takes is someone from a different country to come and start it up again. Can't live life all locked down. The people most vulnerable should protect themselves and be cautious but sorry....not gonna stop by life .

And once again someone who totally misses the point.

My children are not locked down. They meet with friends outside and wear masks and follow social distancing guidelines,
