Alameda County added an interesting element to its shelter-in-place order this week with “social bubbles,” which allows people from different households to gather outdoors in groups of up to 12 people. Santa Clara County hasn’t loosened restrictions this far, but I’m already bracing for a disaster in the making.

Social bubbles are a real-life version of those “which quarantine house would you live in?” quizzes we all took back in March — but you can’t pick Captain America or Pam from “The Office.” You have to choose people from your actual life, and you really have no idea what those people are like now that they’ve been cooped up for three months alone or, potentially worse, with their spouse and kids.
