Did he definitely say that? He (Chris Whitty) is definitely not stupid but that seems to fly in the face of the principle of trying to delay the spread of the virus as young people will spread it to others including old people.
Either way unfortunately my very young niece seems to be leading by example: she has developed a very high temperature this evening and my brother in law has developed a cough. So my sister and family need to self-isolate for a week.
NHS 111 could only tell her to stay at home for a week - not that reassuring - and the guidance for self-isolation has an FAQ for pets but not babies!
