I remembered telling someone ( young female subject) to stay 2 m away while queuing a time in a local shop, she was furious, shutted loudly and refused to stay 2m behind. Thank goodness she was wearing a mask.
It could have been a very different scenario if she got covid and spat on surrounding people. 😬
It seems some people feels proud to disobey any rules / guidance. I suppose the bigger problem is caused by the current education. Not all children are trained to follow the rules unconsciously.

"Excuse me, but is there something wrong with your mask" seemed to work well today in Waitrose. Masks were quickly hitched back up over the nose and apologies given. I just got fed up with the usual offenders. It would be interesting to know what approaches others may have tried, and the reaction you got. I wear a respirator mask with >99% filtration. Been doing so since before masks were mandatory or even just recommended. I try not to speak to anybody, especially not those who are not wearing a mask properly (or at all).

It will be an even greater deterrent to be tested for sure i am sure there are many incentives to get tested. such as testing before vaccination, a great way to study to effectiveness of the vaccine I might have missed something here, but don't understand this post. How does testing before vaccination tell you about effectiveness of it?

How does testing before vaccination tell you about effectiveness of it? Possibility of getting Covid just days before vaccination? or spreading covid in the vaccine centre? It would lower the stats for effectiveness right?

I think if you went down with covid a few days after vaccination they'd assume you had it already.

And further, regarding masks, there are the dangerous and ludicrous ones fitted with a one-way valve.
I'm Alright Jack beathing in, I'm relatively safe, but it's OK for me to spray you with my Covid when I'm breathing out.
One-way valve masks should be banned, but of course that's way beyond anyone in "Authority" to even think of, let alone be aware of.

Ministers could pay £500 to everyone with Covid in Englandwww.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/21/ministers-ponder-paying-500-to-all-with-covid-in-englandThere needs to be support to self-isolate. Is this is a step in the right direction? Not sure, but without considering it too much I think it is. ~~~ Seriousness aside.... I go to a house party of fewer than 15 and I get fined £100 if paid promptly. Catch the virus and I'm now £400 up, what's not to like? ... assuming I survive unscathed that is. ^this is incredibly stupid, selfish, unlawful etc etc... don't do it. Hypothetically.... So I've read about this £500 if I get Covid and today I have a temperature and feel a bit rubbish. Do I get a test now or wait a few days or a week (and stay working as a carer/delivery driver/chef etc) 'cos that £500 may make all the difference in my circumstances? These are the consequences of dither and delay. Either do it or quash the rumour/leak (I guess it was leaked to sound out the Tory press?).

You can't do anything about it so just keep being careful, if you don't catch it doesn't matter how deadly it is. Keep safe.

Until we have more data, it’s better to be cautioned

I also read it somewhere, if someone gets a covid test late, the possibility of false negative is higher but the person can still be infectious.

It must be scaremongering because why would any competent leader announce to the nation that the initial evidence suggests that this variant is 30-40% more deadly but do nothing? What am I missing?
