Very true. My sister works for the Scottish Government and the talk around there is that it’s not solely big groups of idiots that are responsible for imposing local lockdowns - they are the most annoying and visible - but “sensible” folk just straying beyond what’s “tolerated” as they are generally acting right up to the limits of govt advice. A lot of our neighbours are just carrying on as usual, but then we live in Leith which has a lot of, ahem, characters. My steroid-munching dickhead neighbour who has been selling cars on the street for the last 7 months is just one example of not giving a fuck. No masks, sitting in the car with the “customers” whilst they hand over bundles of cash, all transactions completed with a handshake.
Same dilemma here - I've effectively isolated for the last 6 months, outside of a bi-weekly supermarket trip and the postman occasionally dropping a parcel I've had almost zero interactions: intuitively I am surely low risk and ok to host my parents as planned.
Though that's not the letter of the law, and invariably is why we are heading back into stricter measures: everyone thinks they are being as safe as necessary (irrespective of whether they are)
