That doesn't matter - if required the restrictions would just become stricter to compensate. Closing additional businesses, public transport, reducing opening hours or even introducing a curfew would be options. Nobody instructed to work from home is going to rush into an office, for example. If the pub is closed there's nowhere to go. The presumption that the public would act in bad faith has been consistently disproven, and while the Tories credibility is near zero, if hospitals filled up they'd feel otherwise.

I think the nation expects individuals to manage illness as they would with any bad cold/flu

It'd be interesting to see if that held up against a more severe variant and waning vaccine effectiveness. I doubt many are in that much of a rush to go out and die on the minimum wage in a cost of living crisis. I'm sure they'd welcome 80% salary to sit at home with their feet up again.
