Except the whole point is to limit demand on the NHS and limit risks to Doctors, Nurses and others so its not quite that simple.
Don't ride in groups or we will be stopped cycling completely.

Again in that regard he can choose not to go to hospital if he falls ill. As we can we all. We don’t know what his brother‘s thoughts on the matter are.
I've always bought a large pack (obviously when shopping by car) and always buy another pack when one has been opened so seem to have avoided the panic as still the newest pack is unopened but once it is I will go in search of another.

I suppose so yes
to spread the virus? I agree it is his choice but one I have made it clear I do not agree with, we are not only staying in for our health.

I am sure you’ve disagreed throughout your life. You are not his keeper nor a moral compass for him.
I think his wife may have a say in matters as well.
I agree what are your thoughts on people not doing as advised?

I am sure she has had her say as have you. It’s still his choice.

Oh, FFS...!
I do not drive. I have never driven. I live 1.5 km from the supermarket. I have the choice of walking to and from the shops or cycling to and from the shops. So, that would be a 5 minute bike ride on roads where I do NOT have to pass people closely, or a 15-20 minute walk on pavements where I sometimes DO have to pass people closely. Which would YOU say is safer?
I go to the shop at times when it is not busy. There is often only one checkout operating at that time but there are so few people shopping that either one person is ahead of me (AT A DISTANCE OF SEVERAL METRES!!!!) or nobody is and I get through straight away.
Before you suggest combining my bike rides and shopping trips... For shopping I carry a ferking great D-lock which weighs 1.6 kg and a 35 litre rucksack to carry my purchases. For bike rides, I carry a small backpack with tools etc in. I do not want to ride any further than necessary equipped for shopping and if I did, I would have to take up valuable space in my rucksack with the tools etc. which would mean that I couldn't carry as much shopping and would have to go shopping more often, so that isn't exactly a sensible plan.

So is he wrong going out more often than needed it not, seeing as it increases his chances of spreading this virus.

What are your opinions on people with a terminal illness not having to shield if they prefer not to, which I think was more the point Chris Whitty made (or perhaps Jenny Harries)
My brothers behaviour is an act of bravado, he is as fit as a butcher's dog.
