I thought that swipe about a partner you don't live with was a direct attack on me. Although I don't use the term pod but just call it seeing my bf/partner.
And let's think rationally for a moment, even though the powers that be here said people who live alone should have had no human contact from March to October maybe, and insanely made no distinction between indoor and outdoor socializing even, and trust me very few people were paying them much mind, there is no ACTUAL difference in exposure to see someone you live with and don't with whatever exposures they and you have. The virus does not care about real estate, the authorities might say that because they know you have no choice to see those you live with, but again the virus doesn't care about real estate, you can get the virus from a partner you live with or one you don't (in and out of wedlock) or from a roommate, exposure is exposure and it all carries some risk and the more people you see inside unmasked the greater on average.
