Rejected petition Allow Support Bubbles to continue if there's a second lockdown

Allow support bubbles to continue for adults living completely alone (at the very least) if there is a second national lockdown. If possible single adult households with dependents to also continue their support bubbles.

More details

Social isolation has an astronomically devastating impact on mental health. Those living with other people will fare much better if there is a second national lockdown than those living alone. People living alone will be at a huge risk for a severe impact on their mental health if banned form seeing anyone else entirely again.

If this is not done, then there will inevitably be extra pressure on the NHS from mental health problems.
