So what? That appears to be the opinion of almost everyone by now.

I mean, it's abundantly clear that things like wearing a mask in public transport would still save lives. Here in Germany still have dozens of Covid deaths per day. But where I live about 99% of people step into overcrowded trains and buses without covering up at all. Even those with clear symptoms. Heck, wearing a mask gets you stupid comments.

At worst Sunak took up that opinion a little earlier than most.

I'm back to masking up on trains and in crowded places. Someone wants to give me stick about it, they can go have a nice big steaming cup of MYOFB.
