      Another basic requirement of what it takes to be successful against this pandemic (like universal masks and efficient, fast and at-scale contact tracing) that looks like we will not learn from countries that have been successful.https://twitter.com/WSJ/status/1259464478808293376 …

      Where should people with mild cases of Covid-19 isolate? Not at home, many Asian countries say. https://on.wsj.com/2WGSP37

      There are questions about what it takes to avoid a big outbreak, but once you have one (we do!), it takes mass testing, extensive and fast contact-tracing, not-at-home isolation, universal masks plus shutting down some potential super-spreading environments to get it beaten back.

          Yes. You have to let people have this option. I know people argue whether it should be mandatory. Frankly, I think most everyone will choose not to infect their loved ones at home if there is a workable option—it has to be subsidized and sustainable.https://twitter.com/70sBachchan/status/1259503143706116096 …

          NYC adopted Asian model. City will pay for hotel rooms for mild/moderate cases. "Patients will be provided with food, pharmacy, and laundry while in the hotel. There is a small clinical staff in each hotel, including EMTs, which checks in on patients daily"https://twitter.com/MarkLevineNYC/status/1257275330705985537 …

          Which of these does UK currently have in place? Mass testing, no. Extensive contact tracing, no. Not at home isolation, no. Universal masks, no. Shut down super-spread environments, well yes at the moment. IOW we're f****d re 2nd spike.

          Sounds like you need a society with fundamentally strong sense of civic duties, and a government that is both trusted and trustworthy.

          But in China, isolation within the household appears to have been successful,eg household attack rate was zero in 14 households where infected person isolated & masked. Offer external isolation if needed, but compulsory? Could go *so* badly wrong.https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciaa450/5821281 …

          Whatever policies are chosen to manage or contain the epidemic, they should be applied consistently across the nation. Decision making should be data driven. Changing policies without basis or applying disparate rules in different regions without travel restrictions is insanity.
