@JonathanReez No - quarantines are to delay spread until sufficient numbers are vaccinated, and to avoid overloading hospitals
This is what they got so wrong in the UK - the NHS was so overloaded, there were no beds in many regions for non-covid patients, let alone those dying from covid
Quarantining folks coming in from areas with high numbers of Delta variant would have helped a lot - the UK failed at that
@NeanDerThal That is a really dumb version of quarantine - why wouldn't they let you have food
@JonathanReez You know vaccination is not 100% and negative test is also not 100% useful, right?
My whole family was vaccinated, and testing negative. Then we tested positive. Luckily we didn't go anywhere or see anyone in between, otherwise we may have passed it on. And we are still recovering nearly 2 months later - breathing difficulties, fatigue, pain...not good
