In the USA, we've already changed our guidance to 5-day quarantines. So as usual, my words are USA-focused and based off of our current US-politics.

There seem to be people arguing for the COVID19 sick doctors/nurses to come in and work as usual, even with symptoms.

If that's not the case in UK (and if you're still on the old 10-day quarantine), then I guess your local politics are just different than what I'm dealing with here. We can blame this misunderstanding on our different local situations for sure.

Frankly, we're erring on the side of "too short a quarantine" right now in the USA with these 5-day periods.

I'm sure people are arguing for that somewhere, but it doesn't seem like it's anywhere I can see in this thread.

Fair. As I said, a lot of what I say is aimed at what I'm feeling in public, not necessarily what someone else has said here.

Please give the /r/nursing topic I posted in as an edit a review.
