The majority aren't moaning about the introduction of quarantine but the short notice given.
All the people who are rushing to return to the UK to beat the deadline won't need to quarantine,and what about all the hundreds or thousands Goods vehicles crossing weekly there is no quarantine requirement for them.

Ironic really isn't it, we have the worst performance in Europe but the government come all over righteous, wringing their hands saying "we had to take action"
I'm surprised our very dear friends did'nt ban us but hey tourism money talks!
Ripped off on a staycation with poor sites and service, inclement weather, I wonder why we all want to have a holiday abroad?

And sadly the stark reality is, that until or if they get a vaccine for covid19, we will all have to live alongside it, and with all the restrictions that will come and go with it.

Interestingly, to put French figures into perspective, I have just looked at French Government figures for the last 4 weeks.
We are planning on going to SW France in a couple of weeks time (I will worry about UK quarantine if we have to face it on our return) and in the Lot et Garonne, Tarn et Garonne, Dordogne, and the Lot there has been 3 confirmed cases and 1 death combined.
I think, along with most other countries that have suddenly spiked overall, the increase appears to be among younger people in major cities and `party` towns.

Recently got back from 2 weeks on a site near the med (Cote d'azur side). During that time I literally did not see a single person not wearing a mask indoors, be it shops, autoroute services, covered markets, site offices etc. Everyone wore a mask where required too. I come back home, nipped into my local shop and its the complete opposite, no-one seems to be bothered. Felt a damn site safer over there than over here. Not that it was all perfect, the navette out of St Tropez was still a rugby scrum with any social distancing going out the window as people literally pushed and scrambled over each other to get onboard, at least everyone was wearing a mask though, not that it probably made any difference.

So everyone is wearing a mask out there and their infection rate is on the up again, so,i would say the masks are pretty useless at protecting you
