This is a fun website if you have some confinement down-time.

Comparing the British and French shows why the two populations are reacting so differently to the (broadly similar) "stay at home" advice given by their respective Govts.

Individuality & Power Distance
Brits - very high & very low - so very individualistic, but not accepting hierarchies or being told what to do by someone in a higher position
France - high and very high - individualistic, but very willing to accept hierarchies and orders from in high

Indulgence
Brits - very high - so indulgent of individual desires
France - moderate - so willing to restrain individual desires

Uncertainty Avoidance
Brits - low - pretty happy to make it up as they go along
French - very high - they like to know what the plan is
