A revision to the The Health Protection Bill, which can be found here, has added an interesting stipulation regarding people outside the same household being inside together. First off…two people, who don’t live together, are now prohibited from being under the same roof, and if they are caught, they will be prosecuted. So no sexy time, netflixing and chilling, having tea with your nan, or cracking open an Ale with Clive after your aloted 60 mins of daily exercise.. In addition to this…no sleepovers permitted even if you’re related to person. I mean, what is going on?
This comes as the UK has implemented a 14 day quarantine, urged contact tracing apps, and news hitting that more than 200k people have reported violations on their neighbors. Here’s a look at snipits from the actual bill.
No sleepovers…unless you meet a qualified reason
Here are the reasonable excuses…none of which are – hey I miss my parents, sister, brother, or friend, mate.
6 people outside, no more than 1 person inside.
The UK has limited gatherings to 6 people outside and indoors no more than 1 person…2 is a violation.
So if you’ve been dating for a while and want to hang out and watch a movie with your boyfriend or girlfriend…that’s a no go. Want to go and visit your mom or dad and they aren’t sick or you’re not providing medical care…keep it to the garden.
You can read this interesting feed on Adam Wagner’s thread
He’s a human rights barrister and the thread is quite interesting to read.
Afraid to say this is correct.
I can't believe I'm about to tweet this.
From tomorrow sex between two (or more) people in a private place who do not live in the same household is a "gathering" between 2 or more people and is therefore illegal. https://t.co/aEiGIoweee pic.twitter.com/b0KZBACSQ4
