    On New Year's Eve, the British government is running ads imploring people not to celebrate with anyone outside their household.

    No parties, no hugging strangers, no mass choruses of “Auld Lang Syne.”

    Stephen Powis, medical director of the National Health Service in England, says “COVID loves a crowd”.
