Comment	You mean like so many countries in the rest of the world? In cases ones which have gotten away with fewer restrictions than us, but due to the proliferation of masks had less of an impact? Nah... Despite masks being required on public transport I've seen maybe one or two being worn on busses or trains that I've passed. Not even the drivers. The only shops I've been in where the staff have worn masks has been a local world foods shop. Most big super markets seem to have given up on preventative steps entirely (not enforcing a one way system, limiting the number of customers only during certain hours - allowing dozens in a shop at once, having screens which only covers a portion of the tills and have you within 1 metre of the cashier, not cleaning products/ checkouts after someone's touched them, getting rid of hand sanitisers at checkouts/ entrances, etc, etc...). Hardly any customers seem to bother with them, nor social distancing. I'll maintain that the attitude of the UK government and people seems to be for herd immunity. Even though studies are showing results where a portion of those who have had the virus - higher with asymptomatic cases - have lost their anti-bodies after recovering. When the Government and Police aren't bothering with masks or social distancing there's no hope for the average person to. We've now moved onto the phase of telling everyone to get tested, then marvelling at how many cases there are. The way the pandemic's talked about on British news you'd think this information hasn't been out there and implemented in the rest of the world for Months.
