When you say “here”, do you mean UK, or, Germany
Yes Germany. There may be some truth in the Germans obeying rules more than the British but it is also true a significantly higher number have fallen for fake news and refused to be vaccinated.Ok. That doesn’t surprise me really, a country of rule followers vs a country of rule breakers.
An attempt to make vaccination compulsory failed.
I still skim read the daily covid update on the way to checking the weather, and there is still concern about a new wave in the winter. Masking might come back but most of the population have other concerns now with rocketing energy costs and a slow response to this by the govt.
