He is doing what he should do as whether its the PM or a member of the public one should self isolate for 14 days.
It would not look good on any politician if they ignored that.

It's only 7 days if you have symptoms. Though obviously longer if you still have them.

Not sure how Green Flag, RAC or AA transpose on to the NHS? But why stop the bandwagon.

I do not "make things up" as you rudely say. What I said was what was put out by the BBC news earlier today.

Because the more people interact (and the breakdown services would interact with multiple people per day sorting their breakdown), the more the virus spreads, increasing the load in the NHS?

Re: Coronavirus
The issue of going somewhere in a car to excercise has been clarified by the Health Secretary as per the BBC 6PM news.
He said that there had been some confusion over this and went on to say that it was permissable to drive somewhere if it was five minutes away, but that Government advice was for people to stay as close to home as possible*.
It was also said that people can travel to work, but only if they aren't able to work from home.
* This does not include Wales, where the police are taking a far stricter approach. This was referred to later on in the bulletin.

Re: Coronavirus
how many flat/buggered car batteries are there going to be?
I've been self isolating and my cars not moved only started and let run for a few minutes.
Monday I can finally go out and shop for food, so my car will get a bit of a run. but I reckon anut 100 miles in the next 12 weeks instead of 2,000 miles.

If all I get out of this is a flat battery and terrible hair, I'll settle for that.

The more people that defy the stay at home message and do what they want, there could be more chance of breakdowns. They come out to you, they might give it to you or vice versa. Either one of you then takes it home, then you go shopping and give it to a lot more people, some who might need hospital admissions. That's the whole point of the stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives, message. Put too much strain on the NHS and it will cost lives.

Why not go straight to the source. It tells a different story.

I’m sure the breakdown recovery person can fix the car with the car owner a suitable distance away. Like I say not the biggest concern in these times.

A car battery should last around a couple of months, potentially longer, before dying, if not used.

As hypotheses go, it’s thin.

Point missed completely.
The point of Social Distancing is not to reduce the chance of infection to zero (because that’s impossible), but to minimise the risk of infection; doing anything unnecessary that raises the risk of infection is being selfish, and being bored of something is not a valid rsason for putting others lives at risk, and increasing the workload of an already overstretched Health Service.
