Although in the UK it's no longer a legal obligation for me to self-isolate for ten days, that's what I'm doing.
Cases, hospital admission and deaths are currently on the rise in the UK, although far less than they would have been without the vaccination programme.

North Carolina recorded 11,337 positive cases on September 11. That is second highest case total we have had since the pandemic began and second only to last January 9. There were 11,708 on January 9th after the end of Christmas festivities. One can only assume that this total is tied to Labor Day weekend and college football parties.
Every person that I work with (in a 12 person office) that has children in public school has had to take the children out of school at least once for testing after direct contact tracing since school started.
