The majority of positive cases are in the 20-30 age group - who think they are immune/immortal (their parents/grandparents won't be though)

Or maybe it's the fact that those in the 20-30 age group are often living in shared households and working higher risk jobs (quite often multiple high risk jobs).

And before you ask, I'm a reasonable way over 30.

The following locations will be now be escalated to areas of national intervention. From Tuesday, residents must not socialise with people outside of their own households, unless they’re in your support bubble. This does not apply to places of work, schools or childcare.

• Birmingham
• Sandwell
• Solihull

I'm very confused. Sandwell is a part of Brum is it not? 
The support bubble can that be more than 6 people?

Birmingham, Sandwell & Solihull are 3 separate Local Authorities - residents of any of these 3 LA areas are covered by these provisions.

The support bubble could be more than 6, but it can only be 2 households, and one of those households must be a single adult household. E.g. Family (1) is a lone parent and 3 kids household + family (2) is a 2 parent and 5 kids household = support bubble even though there are 11 people in including children.

And yes, I agree its a farce at this point. I can't see compliance being anywhere near what it was last time.
