There is at long last an "official NHS contact-tracing app". Should one use it?
Mostly people continue to wear masks.
People have finally started wearing masks in the shops round here.
Haven't you heard? Masks are last month's thing.
One huge advantage of living outside London is that my local pub does not need to be hugely crowded at all times to stay in business. So when it reopened on Saturday I went along.
Some personal behaviour seems to have improved since last time. (But I'm only taking one sample every two weeks…)
Things are mostly as they were last time in the shops; a bit better, a bit worse.
The "lockdown" has affected me relatively little: things I mail-order take longer to arrive, role-playing games have moved online, and I haven't seen my boardgame groups at all. But now it starts to feel as though people have gone into a kind of stasis.
Not that I shop in person very often anyway. But it's gone a bit strange.
So we finally got something like precautions being applied, though piecemeal and rather later than would have been sensible.
