Because I dont. Here in England this mornings news is that social gatherings of more than 6 people will be illegal from the 15th. But pubs remain open and no pub is viable on a maximum capacity of 6 people. So does anyone know when being in a pub with other people becomes a "social gathering" as opposed to just being there? Is it when people talk to each other? Is it when they are closer than 2m? Is it simply when they know each other? And if so how well do they need to know each other? We have a planned lunch involving two tables of 4 people. Is that socialising?
I suppose we could move our lunch across the border into Wales where up to 4 households can form an extended household and have lunch together? Avoiding Caerphilly of course, where most things are banned - but then who would want to go there?
OK I am old but I am university educated and reasonably literate. If I cant understand the rules, who can? Why is the communication from the civil service ( I dont for a moment think that ministers write these rules themselves) so apallingly bad?
