Seems like they’re just trying to persuade people not to travel through lip service, without having to allocate any resources to ensure that this is the case. Makes it look like they’re doing something

It does seem that way, and to be honest, I suspect a lot of people will follow the instructions even though they're not checked up on.
 
Aye, it's not the best approach given the seriousness of the situation :(

I also recently noted that in the video of that clown on the tube giving about abuse and getting KO'd, that the offending muppet and people around seemed to be ignoring the rule about wearing masks on public transport - the young lads who put the fool straight, aside.

I am fully resigned to the virus and life disruptions being around for a year or more from now as people and that includes our 'leaders' are either too stupid or too selfish to care.

The best we can all do now mate is try to be as " safe and sensible " as possible mate, as life has to go on as best it can and just keep out of the way as best as we can from those that are flouting the guidelines.

I`ve got to admit where I live pretty much everyone, apart from the teenagers, are obeying the guidelines, even in the pubs. So apart from a bit of queuing, hand sanitising, having to pop a mask on for a few minutes and social distancing, life feels pretty much normal at the mo.
 
To answer @davek, the way things are being reported now is because the PHE totally screwed up the way they were reporting things i.e misreporting a death from cancer or an automobile accident or what not as a Covid if the person that passed had tested positive for it, hence why we now see figures and averages for 1 month, 2 months and all over.

Speaking of which, they’ve not made the 60 day figure available again but for the 28 day cut off the total is 6, 10 down on yesterday and 2 down on last Wednesday bringing that area’s 7 day rolling average down to an even 8.

The earlier hospital figure sees that average fall to 6.71
 
I wonder with the death rate staying low has the population achieved herd immunity and/or the virus has mutated to a weaker strain?

Even with social distancing I find it odd how there are a lot less deaths despite the R value supposedly being 1 or higher in places
