How many people are wearing masks when you go to the supermarket?

I’m in the north east, and it seems like people are really anti-mask here - I counted the mask-wearers in Lidl and Sainsbury’s today and only about 5-10% of everyone I saw was wearing one. Is this the same in the rest of England and Wales (obviously it’s different in Scotland)? I always feel like a prat wearing one because people stare, and there are loads of couples and families wandering around as if everything was normal. It’s been about the same level all through the lockdown, so it’s not like people are relaxing more now that cases are going down.

I have been largely avoiding going out shopping anyway. On the few times I aboalutely had to we were still in lockdown. Rules were very strict in terms of distancing and I went first thing.

I went a few days ago and they've relaxed the distancing instructions a lot...pick up trolley wherever, straight in, keep distance but no longer a one way system.

I wore my mask.

None today, manager was setting up a stand selling masks and thought it was a waste of retail space but head office had told him too. Apparently there's no been a case locally for weeks

Popped into Lidl after work. I was surprised, there was a large increase in people wearing masks, at least 50% of customers had them and and just one member of staff out of about eight I saw had them on.

I said this on another thread but I went out today and would say it was about 50% and all ages.

It'll gradually go up close to full compliance by the end of next week.

Brits are good at following rules and orders (even if they go out their way to bend them) but give us an inch and we take a mile generally.

Advise us to do something and most won't, tell us to do something and we will. When will this government learn basic facts about human behaviour? It's a public health crisis and it's important.
