>> Not sure that gov advice came with a 70+ should self isolate 'unless you're Labour
>> MP/quite fit for your age etc?'
The word is should not must. There is nothing magic about the day you enter your eighth decade. There is an element of individual discretion there. If you're quite fit for your age then no reason to treat it as an instruction.
My neighbour, a fit and active 71 was, in her own words, 'apoplectic' at idea of being instructed to self isolate.
In fact the terminology has been somewhat fluid. Advice seems to be that while we should all practice 'social distancing' those in the higher risk category should be particularly stringent.
