What would ideal COVID Isolation guidance be?

Once rapid antigen tests are cheap & ubiquitous

1. Isolate for first 5 days

2. Then test daily

3. Negative X 2 days? End isolation. Good to go

4. Positive? Remain in isolation until 2 negs or 10 days

I think its that simple

This generous nurse in Scotland has been included in the Queen's Birthday Honours list because of her rainbow boxes.

Alison Williams raised more than £50,000 to distribute them to patients - each box containing toiletries, pyjamas, phone chargers and even iPads.

With visiting still restricted and some patients just in need of essential items, especially nightwear, Rainbow Boxes are still very much still in need.
We average approximately 35 top ups a month.
This lot went out tonight to patients the ERI 🌈

Special thanks to @robrien100
