Yes, quarantines for the sick not the healthy. What we experienced last year was the first time the government quarantined healthy people en masse during the lockdowns. That's not the way it's supposed to work or the way you achieve herd immunity, for that matter.
I'm vaccinated too but I also realize, and more are beginning to realize as this unfolds, that it may not offer long-lasting protection. Everyone has to come to grips with that fact and adjust. That means focusing on better treatments because the sad reality is that we will all likely contract a form of COVID to some degree, vaccinated or not.
