You're very doomy.
I think we'll get a new spike of sorts but I just can't imagine that there can be many of us left in the UK's major cities and big towns who have not been exposed to it multiple times and if we were going to get it with life threatening symptoms would have done so already.
Its those who've been strictly self-isolating, especially in smaller communities and places such as care and retirement homes outside those large population areas who are likely now the most vulnerable. Particularly so when they start mixing with their relatives/visitors or travel anywhere.
On the local level my Tesco has been fairly well policed throughout. After the first week when I was the victim of queue jumpers as I stepped out to get a shopping trolley from an adjacent rack, the behaviour has generally been pretty civilised.
There was nobody controlling the number of people going into the store on Friday for the first time in months and people were generally respecting the distancing advice and one way system around the aisles as much as has ever been possible.
Numbers of staff wearing masks by my rough estimate, like customers, have dropped from about 66% to under 50%, gloves maybe even lower.
As I'm in the area of London with the second highest Covid 19 death rate in the country and as such living with that higher potential chance of being a victim myself, it will be interesting, in a morbid way, to see if a new spike occurs here as the lockdown eases more.
If it doesn't hit or its not that bad it is going to raise some uncomfortable questions about what we've been doing for the last 3+ months.
