That's a false equivalence.

Office canteens were allowed to be open but everyone in there still had to follow social distancing and mask rules. Those rules didn't include a 40 person or more BYOB piss up after work.

Oh and in 2020 the military were also following the applicable rules where they could with the same concerns we all had at the time, even where the rules there were given weren't great:

Troops from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards said they had been asked to self-isolate with their families but then hauled back to an environment that had not been supplied with any personal hand sanitiser or other cleaning equipment.

The lockdown means soldiers have been unable to shop outside to obtain personal supplies, while people within the camp in Hampshire who are showing coronavirus symptoms have been offered no medical treatment or support, according to those in the unit.
