To me it is very dependent on what the restrictions are and what the penalties are.
Imposing mask mandates for indoor places for your average person I am fine with during the current health emergency whereas home confinement for 10 days is very questionable - I don’t see the two as comparable in level of impact or rights infringed.
Yeah that's fine and like I've said loads Legs, I ain't against masks. I'll keep wearing one from next week where I think it's sensible. I think the gov should keep the mask mandate for a few weeks to see how it goes with the rest of the reopening.
My only caveat with the masks is they won't be mandatory forever and will be gone before covid is, so people have to realise that as well.
They really need to sort the isolation. Just reduce the days and have the release of two successive negatives or something. Easily doable and will mean if people have to isolate, they'll be more willing to do it/stick to it.
Having to stay locked indoors for an illness you might not even have is, 18 months into this thing, insane.
I’d personally base it on case rates/positivity rates or something similar.
Prevalence in local community low, masks optional in most settings, although probably still for healthcare settings given the higher #s of likely infected and vulnerable alike.
However as soon as rates hit a certain trigger number, back come the mask mandates as the easiest to implement and least harmful way to control an outbreak.
If this is true then turnaround time on tests going to be very important

data highlight that the Delta variant could be more infectious during the early stage of the infection (Figure 1D).
As we know, individuals undergo a latent period after infection, during which viral titers are too low to be detected. As viral proliferation continues within host, the viral load will eventually reach detectable level and become infectious. Knowing when an infected person can spread viruses is essential for designing intervention strategies to break chains of transmission. However, this is difficult to study based on clinical investigations since over 50% of transmission occurred during the pre-symptomatic phase 10. Our investigation on the quarantined subjects suggested for the Delta variant, the time window from the exposure to the detection of viruses was peaks at ~3.7 days and presented a higher infectiousness/transmission risk when the virus was first detected.

I received a phone call today from the track and trace team as I’m isolating asking if I wanted to take part in a daily testing trial and go back to work and in to the community. I said I would but I’m isolating as I’m positive, to which I got a reply saying “oh dear, you’re definitely on the wrong list then thanks for letting us know”
does anyone actually have a clue what they’re doing?

Dunno if I have missed sommet. But you are isolating, and the TTI team called you, so they know you are isolating. But dont know if you are pos or neg? I am not sure how they would know the result if I am honest.
Its kin mad, after 18 months.
edit. Get well soon anyrate mate. Xx

I have no idea mate, probably the same way I was “pinged” 4 times on Monday and got 3 different isolation end dates? I have no idea were in the system it breaks down but my overall point is it’s an absolute shambles.
And thank you mate xx
