I don't know but the general rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease
are dramatically different between our countries and all those associate
with deleterious outcomes with viral infections. Maybe significant,
maybe not.

I’m fairly sure had the Uk Government been more proactive would of had a
better outcome, I’m sure that UK hub type nature means the mixing and
exposure would remain high, but just simple things like starting the
lockdowns early as numbers started to rise rather than wait until they had
to, which also ment a longer lockdown as took longer for numbers to drop.

Some roads that one normally avoided as just too busy to be enjoyable for a

 One of the more ridiculous rules some of us Floridians had for a while
was that we had to wear a face diaper when we entered a restaurant and
were shown to our table, but then it could come off, because, of
course, you can't eat with it on. That was in my county even though it
is quite conservative, however, when visiting some of the more rural
counties to the North the masks were few and far between.

I have never worn one.
I was refused service at a Subway once and asked to leave a hardware store once (both politely, to which I smiled and said 'well, you didn't make the rules').
All through that, I had my morning coffee at a diner every day (alternating two diners) and in a more rural area near girlfriend's farm, restaurants with salad bars were mostly mask free and well attended.
