Anecdotally, I don't think there's any question that people have relaxed on the social distancing with masks. BUT - I also think it was slipping quite significantly before the masks, so that's another part of the equation... is it a cause of it slipping, or has it only accelerated the inevitable? And if it's the latter, then obviously, masks are now PROVEN to mitigate a fairly large proportion of the risk even at < 2m. Passing someone in a shop isn't the same as sharing an office space, the risk of catching it that way was already far lower (even with no measures at all).

ive had a couple of deliveries where they stood right at the door. As I had a cam on them I was able to watch and tell them to back off from the door

I'm not that arsed about deliveries from local places. If the person delivering it has Covid then there's a good chance the person who made the food has it two, meaning keeping a distance from the delivery driver is probably a bit pointless . I suppose I should always consider that *I* might have it though, and if they get it from me then it could go to everyone in the area who just wanted a curry .

*edit* Just noticed you didn't even say "food deliveries". I must be hungry

one was Asda .. who wanted to come in the house with the bags ... i told him to **** right off ... the other was DPD who i gave the evil eye too

Thats the point ... if they do 100 deliveries a day and are up close with everyone ... thats 100 chances they have to catch it from someone else if they don't distance .... i truly believe people are just basically stupid
