Regarding masks in the UKicon right now, it is very much a matter of personal choice, and where I live most people appear to currently wear no form of mask or respirator when outside of their home. Things may be different in London but right now I would say, in general terms, across the whole of the UK the majority of people still do not wear any form of mask or respirator when outside of their home. As previously stated, I do wear a full respirator when going into shops and this is because I am more concerned about my family's health than my own.

I rather think that the UK, as a whole, currently has a slightly different "take" on the wearing of masks in relation to Covid-19 than to many other countries.
