It's almost as though, when people start getting together specifically to socialise in enclosed spaces in groups, having a drink and with no mask requirement, social distancing goes completely out the window and there's a resulting increase in infection rates.
If only there was some way we could have predicted this. If only the pub quizzes weren't so sublime that people would just break the locks and pub anyway if they were closed. Alas, we have to face the reality. Is it my round? Anyone for scampi fries?
