I must admit to be leaning towards theo and co's interpretation on this, but despite my regular criticism of the current Government's weak attempts to mitigate the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the transmission is not their fault.
It doesn't matter if you give everyone £10,000 to encourage self-isolation or increase the amount of restrictions Governments put in place, the end result is the same, unless the general population obey the rules. Governments, supermarkets, bars, schools, etc don't spread the virus - individual members of the public do, and as long as a sizeable minority ignore the rules, the pandemic will only get worse.
Individual responsibility rules and too many people don't believe in that concept. It's always somebody else's fault.
