two people phooey

Restricting "social occasions" to just two people is ridiculous. It's the thinking of people who smash avocados and claim it as a work meeting: just me and my very important client.

Family and real society work differently.

Yes, we -- real people -- often go out for coffee or a meal with a friend. One on one. We also go out as a couple, to meet another couple -- two on two. We discuss the world, other people -- and families. Part of the pleasure is that a couple of people are meeting another couple.

Once one couple has grabbed their take-away coffee and snack -- that's two people. Maximum group size. Not allowed to catch up with that other couple, our good friends since forever.

Two people? No children allowed? One child plus one adult plus... no-one. Phooey.

Here's how it should really be:

A maximum group should be two *family groups*. Two couples. A couple and a single. Two couples and a couple of their children.

Enough to allow social contact between *families*. Between *friends*. *Social* contact rather than -- or as well as -- business meetings.

===

Okay, you need to trust your friends. You need to maintain social distancing. Mainly -- you need to be allowed to meet with friends. One couple with another. One family with another.

The government is trying hard. Doing its best. Yet they seem to have forgotten that society involves more than one on one business meetings.
