    In the name of avoiding dodgy links (above) and crackpots raving about communists:

    https://www.ipsos.com/ipsos-mori/en-uk/majority-britons-support-extending-certain-covid-19-restrictions-not-forever

    "New research by Ipsos MORI for The Economist shows support for extending certain restrictions to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the short-term while it is still posing a risk, however there is much less support for these measures to remain in place permanently. A strong majority would like to see face masks continue to be compulsory in shops and on public transport for a certain period after July 19th. Seven in ten (70%) want to see this continue for 1 month after 19th July while two in three (64%) would like it to remain in place until coronavirus is under control worldwide. However this drops to four in 10 (40%) who support face masks being worn in shops and on public transport permanently, regardless of the virus itself, while an equal number (41%) are opposed. "

    Split down the middle 40% for 41% against, presumably 19% undecided in the swing. Shows you just how damaging this virus was to that country and their psych. It is just in shops and public transport of course, not sure the crackpot site above mentioned that? I stopped reading after the communist ranting and went looking for the source data.
