Indeed, the confused and fragmented situation caused by each county inside Germany having its own super-detailed and ridiculous rules is making compliance plummet.

The 1.5-2m idea is anyway a failure:

* first of all, it only allows one to dodge larger droplets.

* second of all, it's humanly impossible to respect this rule. When meeting acquaintances or friends there's a constant unconscious pull to get closer - in practice the distance is 70cm and often less. Crowded areas and narrow corridors or pathways make a mockery of it likewise.

The obsessive focus on hard to implement personal distancing and aversion to masks is embarrassing.
