As an American, casually catching articles about the covid rules in the UK you would think the country is in total panic. You can't go out and eat? A pub? Masks everywhere at all times, no socializing with those outside your household. That shit seems crazy.
I'm not even 100% sure what the rules are in my state but unless your in one of the larger cities everyone ignores all of it. Basically no or little masks, restaurants pretty much ignore the rules, mayne they moved the tables a little farther apart but so.e haven't even done that, otherwise there doesn't seem to be any other rules that I know of. The police do not give a fuck about enforcing anything related to covid, health departments are basically non-existent.
I assume its similar in the UK. No way everybody is following all this crap. I feel like you guys are being punished for Brexit just like the US is for Trump.
