So what …
The corona pandemic has changed significantly in recent months: the omicron variant is more contagious than the first forms of the corona virus, but the course of the disease is obviously milder. Therefore, step by step, almost all corona measures have recently been overridden.
The maintenance of a quarantine lasting for days as a relic from the peak phase of the pandemic is therefore no longer comprehensible. If you are already proclaiming normality everywhere, you would have to think about facilitating things here as well. There are possibilities, for example by replacing the draconian quarantine with certain requirements for infected people (mask requirement, etc.).

Home Sweet Home
Anyone who is sick stays at home. That was the case when Corona was still exclusively a Mexican beer brand. In order to protect the body, a doctor’s certificate is required for the sake of the employer, but instructions have not been absolutely necessary up to now. But what if the dullness doesn’t set in at all? In the case of corona, this means “asymptomatic course” and is no less problematic: infection is also possible without coughing and fever. If we exchange quarantine for unlimited freedom, we will not only be overwhelmed by the heat in summer. The numbers would explode and the big rowing would start again: back to old measures.
