Again, lots of clamour to close the borders or have mandatory hotel quarantine, and Scotland now implementing managed quarantine for all itl arrivals.
But the latest PHE report and other analysis suggests E484K mutation was acquired independently in the UK... https://twitter.com/devisridhar/status/1356612024692793345

All evidence suggests that what you do at the borders is largely irrelevant if you're not controlling cases in community.
Latest PHE report adds to this, showing that as much as ppl want to believe problem is 'foreign,' mutations can & will arise in UK. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/breaking-new-covid-19-strain-23354333

Hotel quarantine of international arrivals, but not of cases in the community, is, to me at least, a very odd policy to back.
UK has possibly lower than 20% adherence to self-isolation.

So much focus is on cases & new variants coming in, but many seem to have forgotten about the cases at home..
If we're serious about 'unlocking' while keeping cases lower & reducing the chance of vaccine resistant mutants to arise, we must action PH policies for community cases.

Having hotel quarantine for cases in the community is one of the most effective & cost-effective policies the government can implement.
