Like I said earlier,
No issue with 20k people in an arena.
Big problem with more than 15 people in restaurant.
Didn't give a #### about care homes and people at risk.
Made a big deal about gathering outside.
Lots of examples like that.

It got to a point where rules were coming into place just to show that the politicians were doing something. They would purposely put rules in that were as visible as possible, even though these rules may not have substantially reduced spread.
When it painfully became obvious that we were all getting exposed to Covid at some point and the vaccines were not going to prevent that, some people still wanted to believe that a zero covid policy was possible. This resulted in a lot of extra economic and social damage that didn't need to occur.
