This advice is now disputed by some saying 7 days is not enough as we don't know enough about it to be this certain - will try to find a link.
There is no need to find a link.
Keeping on top of the evidence is pretty much my day-day life at the moment.Moocher asked for guidance. This is as per PHE.
As for the various other studies:
There are studies showing variance of incubation of 7-30(+) days. Variance of symptomatic/infective of 5-22.5(Averages) days, and a bunch else.There is (possibly) too much poor data around to follow it over the guidance.
PHE/NICE's job is to evaluate that evidence and make the best guess based on it.
Whether or not they have is another question, for another time.

My brother has tested positive having been ill with bad flu symptoms for three weeks. He was finally advised to visit a drop in centre who tested his vitals and told him he didn't have it. This was followed by a call with a doctor who said he most likely did have it followed by test results that confirm it. Think he is relieved to know (and to know he is over the worst) as his mental health was really beginning to suffer. Now shitting it that he has passed it on to elderly parents who were visiting just as he came down with it. Fingers crossed that they are clear - it has been a month today.
