Was just having a chinwag with the fella who runs the local shop. He said that the overwhelming majority who've been in since the new rule was introduced haven't been wearing masks inside.
With small independent shops I guess they don't have the ability to enforce the rule, but then for the major supermarkets to come out and allow people without masks when they could enforce it, it's nuts.
Maybe I'm fretting over nothing, but what the last few months have shown us is pretty depressing in terms of helping each other during a crisis by following the rules.
P.S. I know the guy's parents who are well into their eighties now. Maybe the other customers don't know he has to visit them regularly, but it makes me angry that people could potentially be affecting their health by not wearing their masks. |  |

No, that's not the point being made is it now?
Don't be naughty.
You said these tests are directly relative to the current R rating.
Fine if true, but it would be good to see where's that is made clear.
Also, it says "chance", so that's all. So it's not even necessarily much of a point at all either way. |
I said linked as in how the authorities will use the antibody test results to assist in estimating how many people in the population will be affected and the rate of spread.
Johnson called them a game changer.
Not much of a game changer are they if there is a "chance" that they are triggered by the common cold?

It's easy to say when businesses need every sale they can get but there should be a zero tolerance policy. |
You have highlighted the real reason for the mask rule. It was introduced by Boris as a desperate attempt to save the high street and has little to do with 'the science having changed'. His hope is that the elderly and the vulnerable will feel a (false) sense of security. |  | | |

I don't mean to be rude but I genuinely don't understand this attitude.
Is the suggestion that when we sneeze or cough there's no point in covering our mouths?
That no one could possibly catch anything from us so there's no point in bothering?
I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. Look at the spread when we cough or sneeze. Breathing on others when we're ill is more than bad enough. Of course by limiting this then spread is also limited. |  |
