Take advantage of the 'free' vehicle check as well. Attend to any legitimate items as you see fit and add the receipts to the car folder... As you might address any previous Mot advisories. The check should be added to the electronic history. It obviously doesn't replace servicing, but it reinforces the notion that the car has been looked after

Chinese people are state owned property with an illusion of reasonable civility.
Basically they are disposable.

There were at least four flights a day from China into Gatwick. Probably five times that to Heathrow, not to mention everywhere else in the world. Two people from Wuhan attended a meeting in Singapore and gave it to the bloke from Brighton who triggered the first outbreak in the Alps who had gone on a family skiing holiday within four days of the meeting and only sought medical help when he returned from skiing 
Ignoring the two families he directly infected in the semidetached chalet, there's the 400 people on his flight from Singapore plus the 380 people on the two EasyJet flights he took.
Pretty efficient delivery all things considered...

I would like to think that anyone on any jury would consider the evidence put to them very carefully

I'm honestly getting a little tired of the constant stream (here and elsewhere) of WE ARE ALL DOOMED TO DIE - if we are all that doomed, might as well just hang ourselves now and save the NHS the trouble of having us coughing up blood on a hallway floor, right?
Or, I guess, Al's suggestion. I quite like beans on toast. Going to have to buy a lot of bread, though, and freeze it.. which is exactly what one lady was doing in Morrisons last night - she had a trolley full of bread..
Outside of the mainstream media histeria bubble I think anybody is anymore than concerned. 80% of confirmed cases are mild, 15% severe & 5% critical. 50% of the critical ones die. The Chinese statistics are in the article below:
https://theanaesthesia.blog/2020/03/09/the-uk-covid-19-epidemic-time-to-plan-and-time-to-act/#comments
What is clear is that Italian hospitals have been overwhelmed & they have double the number of critical care ICU beds compared to the UK where we have the lowest in Europe. In Italy if you have any of the chronic conditions on the list, you will not get any ICU, the same will apply in the UK in 7-21 days when cases are 10,000+.
All countries have made the same mistake as China in not clamping down fast enough so R0 > 1 & it will keep spreading until isolation makes R0 < 1, like is now occurring in China.
Statistics are just numbers until it is you, family or friends dying & at that point the statistics become very personal. Again looking a China mass isolation to the epidemic under control takes about 3 months. So we will hopefully be over the worst by July-August time.
What nobody is discussing is the economic impact as that will affect everybody in the world, where it is going to cause a global recession. As an example Chinese y-o-y industrial output is 17.2% down in 3 months where the UK in 2008 had an 8% drop in GDP over 12 months. So expect this to be worse than then. Europe & the Eurozone is in a particularly bad place here as the article below explains & traitors May & Hammond have committed the UK to up to about £1tn of potential EU liabilities, which won't be paid back in our lifetimes even with much higher taxes:
