Absolutely damning data on the complete failure to follow Covid-19 guidelines in the UK
• Only 18% of people self-isolate after developing symptoms
• Only 11% quarantine after being told by NHS Test and Trace that they’ve been in contact with a confirmed case https://twitter.com/AdamJKucharski/status/1309145690992455682
It doesn’t matter how much the capacity and availability of testing is increased, or how much the contact-tracing system is improved, if people are just going to flagrantly ignore the instructions.

I guess this must be what "freedom loving" means?
More shocking findings in the paper, such as

"Keys reason given for not quarantining [after being contacted] included: not thinking it was necessary to stay away from people outside your household as you could not stay away from people in your household"
