The problem with increasing restrictions

In Scotland. Face masks already mandatory. But in all the places it would help it’s also not practical to keep them on - e.g. at the theatre everyone buys a drink and keeps them off and in general mask compliance and diligence has dropped off a lot I think. We’ve been told to work from home if we were at the start of the pandemic. This doesn’t seem to be happening either to nearly the extent it was at the start as back then people went to the effort even if it wasn’t practical. Now people will only do it if it actually is practical and wouldn’t consider it again if not. Things like signing in to track and trace at restaurants has been nominally still in place, I think?, but in my experience hasn’t been enforced in months (or used when the info collected).In a way I feel like it would be “better”, from the point of view of effectiveness, if all these things had been dropped in the interim because then we could start them up again. We now know vaccine passports didn’t help either so pointless and difficult to reintroduce them. So overall as it is we have been half arsing restrictions and will continue to do so to the extent it doesn’t help at all and there is nowhere left to go with these, short if closing stuff, which needs financial support. Tricky to be the Scottish government just now.
