Interesting comparison of us and how Germany help ensure the health of self isolators doesn't deteriorate too far.

i can imagine people not wanting to be a burden on the NHS and not getting help until they are really poorly.

Not just the UK, hence the need to be proactive.

Hans-Georg Kräusslich, the head of virology at the hospital, told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung the visits are necessary because “often patients don’t have the courage to ring up the clinic and don’t actually take their worsening state seriously”.

I read people were calling and they were just told to stay at home isolating. This lady who died early on was one example.
