We live in one of the areas subject to tighter measures. I'm no goody two shoes but am playing by the rules on this as taking that backward step has been so hard and I know a lot of people who are struggling more than before . But so many people seem to be ignoring the tighter restrictions, how can we ever hope to get out of this ?
Examples: neighbours entertaining large family group in their garden (meeting in private gardens not allowed in our area); a friend celebrating birthday weekend with friends from c 5 different households, staying in same accommodation and has posted photos of them sitting side by side indoors in restaurants and cafes (all of this is against the restrictions) ; a couple of friends daily posting on FB why the new restrictions are irrelevant and encouraging people to ignore them .... and so many pictures of other illegal gatherings.
I know on many posts like this people like me get told to mind my own business. But it IS my business when I don't see my family and friends because our numbers are increasing, but so many people refuse to believe they might be part of that problem.
Expect I'll get flamed but needed to vent.

I fear we'll never get out of lockdown if so many people think the rules don't apply to them
