They did the lockdown once. I don't think they'll be as compliant this time around. The world beating test and trace system Boris promised and paid £12 billion for doesn't really work. The rules have changed so often that even cabinet ministers including Boris haven't managed to keep up to date. Some of the rules just don't make much sense. Most people still don't actually know anyone who has been affected by it, so overall, I don't expect good compliance and I don't think the numbers will go down much any time soon.
And then there's Brexit coming, courtesy of Boris. We've got a border round Kent and we've concreted over lots of countryside to stack the waiting lorries while they get the paperwork right and recruit more customs officers.
