Tests - again pfft, I've said for ages they appear a pointless measure unless you are testing everyone every day, which is why I focus on those in hospital and deaths.
My view on masks is that they probably do a bit more than fuck all (I'm guessing you probably think the same); how much more, in terms of prevention of spread, is open to speculation but I'm not having it that it's nothing and if the mask only protects me - and others from me - by a small percentage then that's a worthwhile contribution. Also - and possibly almost as important - masks just help to make others (most others) feel a little more comfortable in public places like supermarkets. The inconvenience to me is a small concession in that context.
I've probably posted this before, but I would have given all of those called in for annual flu jabs an antibody test. The information would have been useful and relatively cheap to gather; perhaps those displaying a strong antibody count could have had their Covid vaccination priority deferred by a few months if supplies are going to be limited.
