<p>Exactly. These big chains can afford to employ security and they should be using them to make sure people comply with the rules. They have all been doing well out of the lockdown as they were allowed to remain open while other less essential shops stayed closed so they must have seen their profits soar. Least they can do is make sure public health laws are adhered to</p>

<p>Why should a min wage cashier enforce it? It's not her job to do so and won't be worth the abuse she'll no doubt get for trying.</p>
<p>As for the centre of town, there are very few tourists around - especially in Westminster - but people are a lot better than I see in Haringey. I've been in the office throughout the year and it's no different now.</p>

<p>I work in central London and agree with what Maddy says about mask wearing in shops. I think people round here are choosing to flout the rules. It has nothing to do with language barriers or other excuses. A lot of them seem to have misinformation about it being a hoax or other nonsense and don't care about protecting other people. I was in Superdrug the other day and a woman kept giggling when I glared at her for not wearing her mask. When I mentioned it to the cashier she just shrugged.…</p>

<p>I've just been down to the West End, where it was much quieter than usual although things are opening up today of course. On both buses and tube there was almost complete mask-wearing, likewise in all the shops/cafes I went into and in the National Gallery, where the one-way rule is being enforced with draconian rigour even when the galleries are almost empty.</p>

<p>So there doesn't seem to be a problem with compliance in the centre of town - I wonder if it's because quite a few people appear to be tourists, who have most likely come from countries where the rules are more strictly enforced, and they do it without thinking. Sadly, I think many people living in this area don't feel the situation has anything to do with them, and exist in their own bubbles - not sure it's a language issue really, as it's fairly obvious what is expected from the behaviour of others, and the graphic notices everywhere.</p>
<p>I haven't seen any police patrolling on Green Lanes for months, and as for community marshalls, I caught sight of what might have been a pair of them, strolling down the street chatting happily and ignoring all the breaches of law going on around them.</p> Oh yes it does, On Monday the…tag:harringayonline.com,2020-12-02:844301:Comment:13545262020-12-02T13:18:22.044ZChristinehttps://harringayonline.com/profile/Christine95
<p>Oh yes it does, On Monday there were 1342 cases some hundreds down from previous week, yesterday there were 2176 cases up 528 from previous week. Today there are 2053 up 459 from last week. I have tried to get appointment with David Lamy but not very easy, I am planning to email him soon as I can. Basically be on your guard the virus is there ready to pounce . My numbers come from COVID 19 app which tells how your borough is doing among other thing</p>

<p>Haringey was shown by Kings as having a huge surge of Covid cases yesterday - small wonder.</p>
<p>As to Police - we have had two incidents recently in the road which meant police coming through our terraced house to check the back of other houses. No masks worn by any of the officers (at least 12 different ones) while coming through the house and no offer was made to wear them. I opened my mouth and shut it again...</p>

<p>I've got acquaintances in my social circles who say that too. But it's irrelevant what they believe - wearing masks is MANDATORY ie, it's the law on buses and in shops. On buses I challenge people. Sometimes they laugh in my face, sometimes they sneer, sometimes they shout. They tell me a load of 'dark web' nonsense. I tell them, it's irrelevant what you believe - 1. you are infecting me and my fellow (passengers). 2. You are BREAKING THE LAW.</p>
<p>I say it loud and clear.</p>

<p>I avoid saying it to anyone with clear mental health issues.</p>
<p>Bus drivers, I'm constantly told, are fed up of all the abuse. May be but some bus drivers just refuse to drive the bus if someone gets on with no mask. They enforce it. We sit, we wait. It usually works. But I get it. It's wearying for them.</p>
<p>If I see young people, teenagers on the bus with no mask, I just look at them and say 'Put your mask on.' They often laugh, then get it out of their back pocket and put it on.</p>
<p>Probably they look at me and my age gets away with it. You wouldn't argue with your granny would you? Haha.</p>
