You don't just magically teleport from your home/place of work to a pub or restaurant though.

Going to the pub you're likely to either use public transport, a taxi or walk, there's significant social interaction in any of those methods.

Whilst i can agree with regards to people meeting indoors being stopped. I'm not so sure why the meeting in gardens has to?

Who in their right mind wold travel to another country in the midst of a global pandemic and not expect a quarantine if the cases started rising in their holiday country anyway?

Quite, as always it's about being aware and accepting responsibility/circumstances for the choices you make.

Unless there's any changes I'll be going away in September (holiday already paid for last year) to an area with 0 reported infections 0 deaths. If in that time whilst I'm away I learn i have to self isolate when i return then thats on me.
