Covid-19: PM announces four-week England lockdown

2. How does the anti-masker movement differ in the UK from the US?

The UK new case numbers are similar to the US on a per-capita basis.

It's fair to say they would be lower here were it not for the anti-maskers. The MSM and Johns Hopkins will report on the case numbers, but what I don't have a feel for is how people are behaving in different areas of the world. Are masks progressive or conservative political symbols everywhere?

Even if the Republicans get their way and open everything up, we'll have no choice but to shut down anyway and watch the economy tank. Republicans want business as usual and will just tack the word "safely" onto everything. We're going to open the bars "safely" and we're going to open the schools "safely" and we're going to go to church..."safely". Except the virus is in control at these levels, not politicians.
