It seems to me that what this shows is that however educated, intelligent, responsible etc. we are, we all hear the advice and rules differently and so act differently from each other, with our own personal set of justifications.
There's no actual, real connection between the total behaviour of a population and the attempts of a government to halt the virus.
We all decide to take certain risks, risks that are both to ourselves and to everyone else.
No way out then?

These are the Government laws that we are following to the letter. I appreciate that some may want me and my fellow teachers to live in a box, and only leave our houses for work, but I'm afraid that, unless the rules are changed, we're going to continue to try and grab a shred of pleasure for 40 mins every Saturday morning. If we develop any symptoms, we will also follow the Gov laws with regard to isolation and testing.
When seeing friends and family you do not live with you should:
meet in groups of 6 or less
follow social distancing rules when you meet up
limit how many different people you see socially over a short period of time
meet people outdoors where practical: meeting people outdoors is safer than meeting people indoors because fresh air provides better ventilation
