Self-isolation for #COVID__19 has always been a problem.

Resorting to coercion is a failure of public engagement and is a poor solution.

A thread of evidence and alternatives. 1/6

'Legal enforcement of self-isolation can create trade-offs by dissuading individuals from self-reporting'

Evidence from another type of public health emergency intervention - CBRN mass decontamination - suggests that coercion can have a backfire effect, leading to resistance not engagement

'Staying at home' more generally during the pandemic was better predicted by a sense of 'we're all in it together' than fear of punishment.

1/ We have seen repeated reports that audience behaviour has become more disruptive since live events re-started after the 'lockdown'...

What are the causes and what are the remedies..?
I spoke to @serenathesmith about the psychology involved.

2, As well as reports of disrespectful fans at music events, there are similar reports from comedy live events:

The 'Blitz spirit' in reality and in ideology - four comments
1/5
2/5
Yes, adversity (including coming under attack in war) can bring people together in solidarity - if they also have the capacity/ resources to provide that support.

See our new chapter on collective resilience in wars:

Charles Fritz's observations of the 'Blitz spirit' in London were the inspiration for his important work on 'therapeutic communities' in disasters:

(This is one of my favourite papers in the disasters literature)

Vaccine passports and possible unintended consequences - a short thread of (*open access*) research evidence.
1/9
2/9
This new correlational study by Porat et al. found that that the more people felt they themselves had control & the authorities understood their needs, the more willing they were to get vaccinated and their actual vaccine status.

3/9
If vaccine passports were perceived to frustrate these needs (for autonomy and relatedness), therefore, we'd expect passports to de-motivate people from getting vaccinated.

The question I am asked most by journalists at the moment is how the public will behave after so-called ‘freedom day’.

A short thread.
1/9
It’s difficult to predict as there are multiple interacting factors.

First, the change in policy sends a very strong signal (to some people) that the pandemic is less serious

In addition, the telegraphing of ‘freedom day’, as last year, has an effect in reducing adherence in the weeks leading up
