Is it time to scrap COVID isolation?
Back at the start of the pandemic, if you tested positive for COVID - or even if you were a contact - you were looking at two weeks of isolation. These days, that's been downgraded to a week, and contacts are generally free to go about their normal life. But while COVID is still undeniably a health risk, having masses of people undergoing mandatory isolation takes its own toll. So should compulsory isolation be shortened or even scrapped altogether? Also on today's show: * Are vaccination requirements still useful? * Moderna sues Pfizer/BioNTech * Didn't I see Norman out and about without a mask on the other day?
