I agree with Daf, Lockdown works, but only if people don’t flagrantly break the rules.
Look at New Zealand, South Korea, that’s how effective lockdowns can be.
Compare to here where people still think it’s okay and essential to pop out for a newspaper, a Costa coffee, a packet of cigarettes or a bag of sweets.
They’re the sort of people I’ve been serving this afternoon in the Sainsbury’s petrol station I work in. They’re coming in just for these items, not fuel!!
Last lockdown, we served only fuel for a couple of months, and I hope we go back to that in the next few days.
It’s time the government grew a pair and started more rigourous measures for compliance.
