I dunno about anywhere else, but the most frustrating thing in the UK is how the ruling class keep telling us that the whole problem is that ordinary people aren't following the rules, when they've consistently fucked this up in just about every way imaginable. The government have changed the rules so frequently that most people have no idea what they are, they've proiritised niche parts of society that are personally important to them and their allies (horse racing, hunting, etc.) while leaving major industries to their own devices, and they even spent a couple of months deliberately sowing confusion about the rules to try and cover up the fact that Dominic Cummings had broken them. Meanwhile business owners and just about every right-wing politician outside the government have fought hard against every single restriction and every piece of advice and have convinced themselves that if we just take no action and let the virus grow out of control everything will be fine.

The government's latest masterstroke was to replace the confusing patchwork of regulations across England with a unified three-tier system, which lasted about a week before they decided that the first two places to go into the highest tier (which are right next to each other) needed to have different restrictions. Oh and the lowest tier is called "medium". Oh and they also thought it would be a great idea to give the title of "health minister" to Nadine Dorries, a fundie anti-abortion activist who apparently rejects most of mainstream immunology.
