It seems to me that there are a lot of very vulnerable people who arent on the government list which includes very specific categories. I tried to register my husband who has decompensated liver disease and would be extremely ill if he caught the virus but was told he didnt fall into one of the specific groups. This means it is impossible to get any home delivery slots and so I have to risk going to the shops which makes me really anxious as I'm terrified of picking it up and passing it on to him.

I really feel for those who live alone at this time, especially if self isolating.

Suzy. It sucks  trust me.  I have astma so would probably qualify for the list. But I am mobile and I dont want to take away from those who ae not or the elderly.

Mintea. It's the same situation with my uncle.  It seems people have fallen through the cracks with this extremely vulnerable list. Maybe you should try contact your gp. Although my aunt did that and was told even though my uncle must shield that "if he doesnt qualify under the list " then that's it!!

Let's hope it comes to light that many have fallen through the cracks.  I guess we should all be contacting local MPs to bring it into focus.

I suggested my aunt she contacts age concern. To see if they can do anything.  With your husband is there any info on the British liver trust site?

My sister, who has bad asthma, received a text from her Surgery telling her to isolate.  Luckily she is getting Sainsbury orders with not to much bother.

Teresa. You make a good point. Being stuck indoors alone is still a small price to pay for keeping safe.

Sending love ❤

The thought of being stuck indoors with someone you don't get on with, or who is in anyway abusive, makes my blood run cold. They are the ones I really feel for.

Thing is penny,on the news tonight it now says you CAN go for a drive as long as it's only 5 mins from your home,none of it makes any sense

yes I read that too jaypo but the person I mentioned did a 24 mile round trip. 

[Tc]

The 5 mile thing seems like an extension of lockdown. Keeping people in their own "zones"

[Sparrow]

Is it 5 miles or 5 minutes??

[Tc]

My bad. I misread it. X

[Sparrow]

To be honest it probably works out the same either way.

[CLKD]

In our area it's 5 miles.

 

[Pennyfarthing]

It definitely said ?a five minute drive?.

[CLKD]

That won't do vehicles any good at all  and I can't get anywhere in 5. mins. in our car.

I remember whilst growing up people talking about what they would do when "The 4 minute warning went off"  of course men had different ideas to women ;-)
