Well it was meant as a joke, but as you evidently need it explaining: Less people with the app means less people being pinged - which means less people isolating or having tests - which would potentially mean less identified cases as a larger number will be carrying on regardless and not be aware they've got it (so actual cases may be be higher if less people are having tests). The stats you quoted look positive, but without supporting explanation are meaningless..... ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you not have a smartphone, these days that’s like admitting you don’t have a pair of lungs, especially at your age. Not one of these doing everything not to be tracked by the government are you? Leeds Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 If Tesco Ashby is the barometer of public opinion, people think the pandemic is over. We dropped in to do a mini-shop on our way back from holiday a couple of hours ago, and counted 20 or so adults not wearing facemasks, and none of the three people entering the store in front of us took advantage of the sanitising station.

Sounds like quite a fun Friday night, counting people not wearing masks. I much prefer it when you are just abusing people if I'm honest.

Isn’t it now recommend to continue with these measures? Tesco recommend you wear a mask, I recommend Tesco give me my shopping for free……… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, you’re on the wind up again aren’t you?!. It was just an observation, and not an attempt to wind anybody up. The contrast between what we observed in Cornwall over the previous few days and our first stop following a 300 mile drive was quite striking. While on holiday we travelled extensively on public transport, went in bars, went in shops and it was quite a rarity to see people in crowded environments not wearing masks, not making at least a token gesture towards social distancing or not generally respecting others so we felt 'relatively safe'. The bars were still insisting upon the use of QR code check-in, little shops were still limiting numbers and so on. Ashby seemed to be a free-for-all, with people shouting at assistants because there were no bloody cucumbers, for goodness sake. The irony of the last part is that the two stout individuals giving the assistant a hard time looked as though they'd never seen a salad in the last 30 years.

David Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Been to Tesco twice, co op and spar today, could still count the number of maskless on one hand. Not sure if it’s area, time or what but I’m seeing mixed reports on social media ??♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie20 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Sat in car outside Morrisons this afternoon waiting for the missus to do a mini shop - i would estimate it was 80% masked / 20% not. Most of those not wearing I would guess were in the under 40s age group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
