The NHS test/track and trace advice seems flawed to me.
You should self isolate “if told to” but you can only get a test if you develop symptoms and if you have no symptoms people who live with you don’t have to self isolate.
This disregards the fact that a huge proportion of cases are asymptomatic. But infectious

[TrevorThePug]

Only 18% of people self-isolate after developing symptoms

Only 11% quarantine after being told by NHS Test and Trace that they’ve been in contact with a confirmed case

[ichkeria]

I’m surprised it’s that many.
Told you can’t leave your house for a fortnight with no chance of a test unless you develop symptoms in which case there’s a good chance you dint need one assuming you can get one.
Meanwhile on the other hand your family can do as they please, despite being in contact with a possible infection 24/7
What am missing here?

Well spotted :-)

I can't see anywhere in that where they say that delays are doubling every few days?
