That's simple one self-isolating cyclist or no cyclist. You can't go out full stop.

I haven't been out of the flat apart to go to the ground floor laundry for 4 days so I'm keeping self-isolation to the maximum. The turbo trainer is getting daily use. However, I'm going to need to go to the shops in a few days when - who knows - the hamster-shoppers might have receded, and when I do, I'll do it on the bike. There's more social isolation in the road than while walking on the pavement.
 
I think it's important to remember self-isolating aka self quarantine is different to social distancing aka stay home except essentials.
Yes, of course, apologies. Sleep pattern upside down, haven't slept since yesterday so a bit muddled.

This serves to show how ambiguous and rubbish the messaging has been that I got that wrong despite this having my undivided attention for weeks now.

There needs to be some high profile deterrent sentencing soon, for vermin like this and the people opening pubs, cafes etc when they should be shut down.

Well they could use assault charge and once this emergency was come's in it re affirms current public health law. So they can be held for 48 hours and be tested. On the say of PHE quarantined by force for 14 days and if PHE still think they are a threat another 14 days.
So 28 day in total. That's for starters.
 
This might be an over simplicfation - but would help to create categories of people :-

Ie - high risk groups = cat a
Self isolation as family member showing symptoms = cat b

At there moment there is so much conflicting advice - think lots of people aren't really sure what they can do....

I'm asthmatic - and feel my best hope is to keep fit - can I go on a solo cycle ride ?

Cracking a solo.
It's not just older people.

Are you self isolating as you are at risk or as you have symptoms ?

The 2 are different one is solely for your own safety and the other is for everyone's safety?

The former you can go out if really want at own risk. The latter it's not an option until 7 days min have past with you not getting any worse.

I don't think many catch it from cats, so I would not bring them into it!

Just keep posting the links to www.gov.uk/covid19 for the latest advice. Surely people must get the idea eventually and stop copy-pasting junk without checking the latest?

I'm asthmatic - and feel my best hope is to keep fit - can I go on a solo cycle ride ?
Unless you've been contacted or have other reason to think you're especially vulnerable (so-called severe asthma) and should be "shielded", then you follow the social distancing advice and, yes, you can: https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...le-adults#looking-after-your-mental-wellbeing

At risk, though I haven't had the NHS letter yet. I don't think anybody has, though. (I have a slight feeling I've already had CV-19, caught off my daughter, just before the UK started taking this half-seriously. Fever, dry cough, no other symptoms. Similar with my daughter. Of course, this might mean that I've already had my opportunity to pass it on but that I am now immune. There's no way of knowing this for sure though.)
