can be broadly related
Doesn't sound definitive to me.
You claimed people testing positive after ten days should remain in isolation because they will still be contagious. I was curious if you had evidence for this.
edit Quick google and I can't find any source that claims a positive test after 10 days isolation (assuming your symptoms have improved) is indicative of someone still being contagious. I'm not denying the possibility, but just haven't seen that claim made.

I thought I'd couched my comments with enough speculative terms to make it obvious that it was my opinion and not fact. "very likely", "in my opinion", "very good chance", etc.
The source I linked to says the correlation (however strong it is) is between viral load and infectiousness. How long you've been at that stage doesn't seem to come into it.
Do you think it's a good idea that people still blowing positive on a LFD after 10 days of isolation following a confirmatory positive PCR test should be allowed to end isolation and go back to commuting/work/socialising/etc?
(I don't think it's a good idea, but that's just my opinion, I know of no evidence to support/challenge this.)

Infectiousness can be broadly related to viral load (how much virus can be found in a test sample). Those with a high viral load are most likely to be infectious, therefore it is particularly important to identify those with high viral loads. These people are most likely to be in the infectious and transmissible stage of the virus.
