I have never quite understood why the Test and Trace system did not use the military (simply as a source of government funded bodies) to.. you know, actually visit those required to self-isolate and check they were doing it. A Land Rover full of squaddies turning up at a council estate, and knocking on the door with words of concern and encouragement would do more to keep people indoors that any polite request from the PM.
With stories of people not answering the phone, ignoring the requirement to self-isolate etc etc thinking that they can't get caught, there has to be a way to persude people that they will get fined if found away from their house.
