@WHO is watching strains like Mu with concern.
@ScottMorrisonMP and @GladysB are opening international borders pre-Christmas with ineffective 7 day quarantine.
Should be interesting…

Last time… last time I did say… make sure you have proper quarantine; delta isn’t a joke. You all didn’t listen & then you had to phone every friend for vaccines.
I’m saying it again. Don’t skimp on quarantine. If you’re going to do it, do it properly.

Half-baked, keep the voters happy, quarantine for too short a period, no ability to live track variants quarantine theatre is not going to work.
It will get massively stuffed up again at some point… probably soon.

The COVID-19 pandemic is so complex and fast moving that the only way to be sure of what you are importing, is to check. Even AI would be hard pressed to keep up, but that would be a second choice. Otherwise it’s a blind welcome to everything.
You think that because delta tends to present earlier, you can get away with shorter quarantine periods, but actually some vaccine resistant strains may not be as transmissible as delta. They may take longer to present.
As the world becomes more highly vaccinated, there may be trade offs between transmission and immune escape.
14 days should be the quarantine period with testing even beyond that.

Highly recommend stool sample to be tested and if positive, sequenced. Many people may carry vaccine resistant strains for a very long time.
