Exactly this. There may not be any mandates about isolation, etc, anymore, but it doesn't mean people should stop applying common sense.
I'd actually suggest that if everyone was doing that, and taking time off when they're sick, we'd be in a much worse position.
I think you do have to combine this with the industry's long-held inability to retain drivers though. Whilst pulling out of one of the largest labour markets in the world was akin to shooting ourselves in the foot, we are where we are, and operators up and down the country need to resolve this retention issue.
