Good thread about COVID rules compliance. Essentially, compliance level in the UK is the highest its been since the peak in the first lockdown - except for isolation after symptoms, where it is shocking.

The argument is that self-isolation is the most important behaviour, that the government's focus is on relatively trivial matters and so a distraction.

That is curious. Did they collect any information on why the respondents decided to stop self isolating before the required time period was up?

Only speculation, partly based on the demographics. 60+ age group significantly worse at self-isolation after symptoms manifest, in that they are much more likely not to isolate at all (although slightly more likely to observe a long quarantine if they do isolate).
