Re: Excess Deaths Continue
No idea as the same article says this
What impact does that have on policymaking?
The fact that vaccines are good at preventing serious infection, but less good at preventing transmission makes policymaking difficult. The UK has changed its rules9 on the amount of time those who test positive for covid-19 must spend in self-isolation, first from 10 days to seven, then to five, provided they test negative on a lateral flow test. That decision follows the US, which cut the self-isolation period to five days in late December10 because “the majority of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness.”
“They’re recognising that vaccines aren’t preventing transmission, and you’ve got too many people having to isolate,” says Bauld. “Policymakers have decided that the game’s up on transmission, but that you need a different approach.
My point is if you’re vaccinated you are protected , unvaccinated may not be for many many reasons and they should not be discriminated against.
