This was from a couple of weeks ago:

Todays National Statistics make for very interesting reading.
93% of people report wearing facemasks,
81% say they are avoiding physical contact with others,
only 13% of people say they have socialised with more than 10 people
and only 14% of people say they have socialised with more than 2 households.
Most people are following the rules.
By contrast, the proprtion of people working at work has risen to some 60%
while the numbers working from home has halved to some 20%
- even though figures suggest that half of all workplaces are not socially distanced.
Similarly the number of people going out, drinking out and eating out ('to help out') has risen sharply -
eating out from some 10% to nearly 40%.
It has dropped in the last week, but remains much higher than before.
In sum, the numbers getting exposed to infection because they are doing what the Government is telling them to do
vastly outweighs the number being exposed by breaking COVID restrictions.
And yet the Government blames the public for the situation we are now in.
