For me, the interesting take away about Boris' self isolation is what it says about our post vaccine procedures.

Does this approach mean that even vaccinated people will need to self isolate, until we have a handle on their propensity to spread the virus?

Or perhaps, when sufficient people are vaccinated, we just won't mind if it spreads?

The plan seems to be vaccinate all the vulnerable, elderly, people with underlying health issues, care workers etc.

Healthy under 50's left at the end, which may mean you can let it spread as this group are least likely to end up in hospital, and if fewer do, hospitals will be able to cope.

I believe there is a hope other vaccines will become available too so more doses available and everyone gets a jab or two (every 12 months?).
