Through out all this Covid craziness iv tried to stick as much as I can to the restrictions yes iv been to see my friend but this was at a point when lockdown wasn’t as strict and it was allowed back in September for household to mix outside (we sat in her garden). I live in Northern Ireland and my city has now one of the highest rates for Covid and our restrictions state no one outside your household should be in your house, I’m classed as high risk and have 2 small kids who I look after alone so if I catch Covid that means my kids are at risk and I’d need help with them but couldn’t get it and with my underlying condition I’d be placed in hospital. My aibu is my friend keeps asking me to come over for a drink. I know I’m a grown up and can just say no and i have done each week she asks. She doesn’t seem to take Covid seriously and in the last few weeks she’s had party’s in her house. At least 4 different households if not more at a time and then bloody cry’s about the Covid numbers going up. This is a 35 year old woman not a teenager so she should know better. She’s the kind who won’t wear a mask and says she takes panic attacks with one on but if we were told not to wear one she would. So aibu that it’s her life her health nothing todo with me or ainbu yes she should take it serious and grow up. Truthfully I blame people this is for the rise just because they want to stick it to the government and break rules.

There seems to be that divide between those trying to keep to the rules as much as possible and those that don't give a toss.
I'm not far from you OP and our county is pretty much the same. The closer you get to the boarder the worse the numbers are.
Its so disheartening to see people ignoring the guidelines etc when you are doing your best.
I'd be clear with her and just say "no, it will be no until the guidelines change so stop asking".
Or stop engaging with her.
