Lad! What is a new global pandemic when compared with catching the game and getting a few pints in!

quarantine should not be voluntary.
we should lock them in a facility, and pay them and their employers for it (to keep their jobs).
Fucks sake.
Violating a quarantine should be an extremely serious criminal offense.

When I saw that they were sent home for self isolation a few days ago I was disgusted, frankly. Why are we taking the risk? Just chuck them all in a dedicated quarantine facility.

Honestly “wtf?!?!?l” did we learn nothing from Covid? 45 days; isolation; be done with it. If it needs to come to hospital control then so be it.

We’re a nation of selfish idiots; who could have seen this coming.

We live on an island so we have the luxury of controlling our boarders. Every person who needs to isolate should be given a tracker bracelet if they wish to quarantine at home or isolate in a hotel/facility. Many other island countries did this during covid e.g. Australia.
If the quarantine is breached jail time should not be out the question

They should have all been left on that boat to quarantine. Cant understand why they left them all go home.

We live in a trust based society that depends on people acting responsibly without constant enforcement. If someone is told to isolate because of a potentially serious virus and then chooses to go into a crowded bar anyway, people are obviously going to question that judgement.
Even if no one was ultimately harmed, knowingly exposing others to unnecessary risk should not just be brushed aside as harmless. We financially penalise for other reckless behaviour that endangers the public. This does not seem fundamentally different.
At the very least, there should be some accountability if guidance or isolation rules were knowingly ignored.

It’s clearly on purpose and they’re happy for it to get out – when will people realise that malice and inadequacy are two very different things, and usually malice when it’s something glaringly obvious, at the hands of very organised/intelligent people.

Bit confused at the translation from metro
what happened according all the news I’ve seen in Italian
* British authorities gave the details of the man to the Italians at 14.14 pm yesterday, two weeks after he was already in Italy
* he was found in Milan the same night at 8pm after travelling to 5 Italian cities while going back to the B&B he was in
* According to him nobody had told him to quarantine, but he was aware he was on the flight with the dutch woman (I can’t confirm this part of the story, it appears only in one of the Italian websites I’ve checked)
* the man was with a friend, both negative to the test – the friend is free to go (apparently because of WHO policies)
* The man will be in quarantine until the 6th of June
he was moved into a specialized containment facility as soon as he was found, of course we have those facilities in Italy.
edit: to specify what I find confusing on the metro title, it makes it sound like he fled quarantine after being notified, while apparently he was never notified in the first place
Just in case, of course he should’ve quarantined if he was in the flight, instead of traveling to FIVE different cities!

Just goes to show the general public are too stupid and/or selfish to be trusted to self-quarantine. It’s sad we’re at this stage but if we don’t want a repeat of COVID then we need to enforce quarantines.
