And those in a similar sort of position who've done so have all

No one else did it when both were infected with the virus and had kids
who had to be looked after by someone with the only suitable relos that
far away.

Personally I don't think any of them should have resigned. Of the regs
controlling all this, the social distancing and the general stay-at-home
rule are the only important ones. For the rest, there should have just
been a general exception for buying food, and urgent situations. What is
an urgent situation? You decide. After that, all you need is spot checks
by the fuzz. Trying to micromanage what is or is not an urgent situation
is a fool's errand.

It wasn't just the "general stay at home" requirement. It was "If you, or
someone in your household exhibits CV symptoms - you MUST stay at home
until 14 days after the symptoms have gone." He drove to Durham showing
the symptoms, probably infected his family there

Much more likely they were already infected by then.

and the poor people at the petrol station where he filled up.

Not necessarily either.
