Regarding your removal: we absolutely do want to be impartial, but we report on what reliable sources say. BBC is generally considered a reliable source. If different reliable sources say different things, we report on that, but unless the BBC retracts or modifies its report, it's reasonable to keep the BBC source. creffett (talk) 16:34, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Personally I would say that it is more reasonable to accept the public statement made by the person concerned, on live TV, and endorsed by the Prime Minister. Cummings had no reason to lie about whether he had symptoms. Furthermore he obviously didn't have symptoms earlier in the day he travelled; if he had, he would not have returned to No10 that afternoon after going home hurriedly to see his wife. In this instance the balance of probability is that Cummings is telling the truth and the BBC report is mistaken.
