Sorry, I meant to say, is their much difference to me being in and around people in town/work, to going to the pub with 10 or so people in there?
It's not about being different it's about reducing less essential activities to keep the economy moving while reducing the opportunity for the virus to spread. There are also measures you can take at work that may or may not work in a pub or similar environment. For example, where I work all those that can WFH are, those of us that can't are on a shortened split shift. After one shift finishes there's a 15 minute gap before the next shift comes in, wipes down desks and door handles and what not and does their shift.
