I think this may be one of the problems with "free" healthcare. Don't get me wrong, the UK NHS is a far superior model to the US monetize-the-suffering form of healthcare, but I do think it can lead people to undervalue the NHS's services. If they lived a year in the US they'd return to the UK with a renewed appreciation for the NHS.
Your avatar suggests that you live in Cornwall. Not so many tourists this summer, I gather that the Cornish have reverted to being quietly, and sometimes very noisily, hostile to outsiders.
Yes, that works both ways in that we sometimes accept poor treatment also.I think this may be one of the problems with "free" healthcare.

tourists are beginning to invade
Are you from the area originally?No I live in Devon and unfortunately the tourists are beginning to invade. We (South West) have one of the lowest incidents of Coronavirus but the tourists will probably bring in the virus from other parts of UK, so its not surprising that us locals will think twice before going to a pub....

Just interested as I come from a seaside town myself originally (Scarborough) & find it interesting that certain areas which rely on tourism are so against it.No, why do you ask?

I get that it has effect on house prices but people moving to the area to retire also drive this.

That's that empty feeling one gets when entering a mulletspoons establishment.
we stayed an hour - it slowly filled up. After about 30 mins (it was about 1600) our neighbour arrived. We left and my neighbour stayed all night, they told me this morning it got full to the permitted max. Everything was controlled, security was good, one way system worked well.....everything you would hope for, from a pub chain with good levels of compliance. There is no empty feeling entering here, staff are happy, beer is kept well and is priced competitively.
Unlike my local where all and sundry were milling around, low levels of control and compliance. Beer is not competitively priced and not kept that well - it is this place that gives me an empty feeling when i enter, not the 'spoons
If you don't support your local independent business and do everything online,

Some truth in that, I no longer live there, thankfully.Also I find that in such areas the vote for Brexit was popular because they do not have much experience in living with various races such as London, so the thought of keeping immigrants out was appealing, (whether this will prove true is yet to be seen, the Hong Kong situation seems to go to the opposite...?)
