The pandemic is far from over and scrapping self-isolation is reckless | Letters

Readers respond to Boris Johnson's plan for the country to live with Covid', which includes removing restrictions even for those who test positive

Boris Johnson speaks of protecting ourselves without losing our liberties". This is frighteningly ridiculous. If you are Covid positive and don't self-isolate, or you refuse to wear a mask in a crowded, poorly ventilated environment, then the risk is all on me. You will, in fact, be reducing the likelihood of my being able to protect myself and with it increasing the likelihood that I will lose my liberties.

I behave responsibly, and care about other people's health. Should I catch Covid, it would never occur to me to risk the health of others by continuing as I was doing (so-called exercising my liberty) and running the risk of infecting others (who would have every right to be angry with me if I knew beforehand that I was Covid positive).
