My friend and ICU doctor

[Hana88]

My friend has been speaking to an old friend of hers, who happens to be a doctor working in ICU at the moment.

He has invited her to his house to stay overnight - I'm sure I don't have to spell out what for.

He lives around two hours away and she's agreed to go.

AIBU to say something?

Sour grapes OP?
Good for her!

@SmileyClare

Can my dd have his boyfriend round then? if the boyfriend is a single person household then yes he can.

So single people are allowed to stay over other people’s houses?

I know about support bubbles and I’m in one with my mum but I thought they were for support and are fixed? This situation is not a fixed support bubble situation, it’s a shag situation.

OP,
Please MYOBB

YANBU. That said, if he’s hot enough to bang and he’s regularly tested for Covid, I wouldn’t necessarily blame her for going on a bang run 200 miles. Hopefully he lives alone.

Yes single people are allowed to stay over in other people's houses. They are supposed to pick one household though, I mean not a different bloke every week you're right, it's supposed to be a "fixed" situation.

@Karwomannghia the guidance says that it is possible to change support bubbles. You are supposed to take a 10 day period between the bubbles though.

If the OP's friend follows the guidance and the doctor is eligible to form a support bubble then technically there is nothing wrong in what she is doing according to the COVID rules.

I presume living "with her family" doesn't include a husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend.

'know about support bubbles and I’m in one with my mum but I thought they were for support and are fixed'

Yes some folk have struggled to grasp this, thinking multiple bubbles is absolutely fine as long as one person is single. Pitiful really.

Except that he is two hours away!

It isn’t a support bubble anyway, is it?

I can’t believe the amount of people on here saying this.

I’m finding it really hard to get worked up about stories like this anymore. People are doing what the need to do to get through this.

You simply say have a good shag

Why haven’t you seen your parents in the next town for months? If you are in the England then you can meet one person 1:1 for a walk locally. I live rurally and even here the next town would still be considered local?

Well unless ops friend has spent lockdown having one night stands then she hasn't formed multiple bubbles?

A support bubble can be two single people meeting up for sex. I mean the Gov guidelines don't specifically state "You can form a sex bubble" but you can use your common sense to apply the rules to your own situation.

@Fascinationends

Better than clapping him I suppose.

😂 Thank you for a wonderful laugh.

Yes, I think it's a breach of the rules (unless her family have no other person as a support bubble, in which case it's now him)

But those who are working in ICUs (especially those who are intensivists and who have been in the worst and most demanding circumstances all the way through) really are the best people at assessing risk and understanding the consequences. They do so based on knowledge and experience not 'research' (aka titting around on the internet)

@ShouldIgonow

Let’s hope she doesn’t catch the clap

🤣 hahaha!! Brilliant!

"You can form a sex bubble"

'I’m finding it really hard to get worked up about stories like this anymore. People are doing what the need to do to get through this'

Yes who cares if we've been in lockdown for weeks/months as long as he gets a shag! It isn't as if we see daily wangathons on mn of people whining 'enough'. Well, newsflash this is why. Folk merrily traipsing about doing wtf they like.

For some reason, a "sex bubble" gives a really weird mental image

Mayb eyou could find your own business. Judging by some of the posts on here, people should now be much more secretive about their lives with 'supposed' friends.

Could this be jealousy OP?

Maybe they could wear full ppe if they become closer than two metres apart?

Just going to join the chorus tbh - so get a life OP. You sound like a shit mate

Is your problem with you don’t believe ICU doctors should be allowed a shag, or you don’t think your friend should be allowed a shag? When was the last time you had a shag? Might help you get over yourself

But in all honesty, I get the unease. An ICU doctor wouldn’t be my first choice in the middle of a pandemic!

Keep your nose out
