>I guess 5 miles difference magically makes COVID much more contagious.

In my nearest town (in the UK) there are two supermarkets. In the budget one (Aldi) nobody wears a mask, in the upmarket one (Waitrose) everybody does.

I've noticed that, Waitroses and doctor's surgeries seem to be the last bastion of English mask-wearing. I wonder what the correlation actually is fundamentally? Waitrose's clientele are wealthier and therefore older and more concious of COVID?

This gets thrown around so much now I automatically dismiss it as a lazy complaint.
