"The correlation between public sector wage increases and inflation is negligible and not statistically significant (r = 0.04). This means that public sector pay is unrelated to inflation."

On the tubes last week about 25% of people were wearing masks (including me).
Without proper enforcement I reckon that might get up to 30 or even 35%.
Good luck regular tube users.
