Self—isolate espresso many people are being infected. we are up to 50,000 infections a day and the health minister himself admitted that will go to 100,000 and some estimates or sing it will go as high as 200,000. that is the reason why people are having to self—isolate if the government gives the message that people are concerned about the level of infection, there is nothing to bring those infections down, the number one cup people continue to get pinged, and though be asking themselves why should i the infection doesn't matter? there is a flaw in the contradiction and what the governmen...

There is some light at the end of the tunnel. from 16 august, people who have been fully vaccinated in england will no longer have to self—isolate after close contact with someone who tests positive. nhs staff who are fully vaccinated will not be pinged to self—isolate by the nhs covid app, and on monday, the pm borisjohnson promised that workers who provide critical services will not be asked to self—isolate. the system does have benefits in slowing the spread of covid cases, and some employers we spoke to said they would never force their employees to come into work if they have been p...
