Thread:It is clear that Cummings broke the government guidelines. It is offensive & distressing to those who have sacrificed travelling to be near family members to suggest otherwise. And Deputy Chief Medical Officer said that risk of transmission is "higher" in a vehicle.

How is it "reasonable" (Cummings)to travel for hours & increase increase risk of infecting others in household? "Isolation" is not leaving home at all.But today, Shapps states that the govt guidance meant that it is up to "potentially infectious" individual to make own decisions

as to lockdown in the "most practical way in family circumstances".DCMO also justifies & so undermines her objectivity.Shapps:we in times of crisis "seek family" "around us" = a wretched dismissal of sacrifices made by people following guidance to do the opposite. @grantshapps
