Anyone else not quite in tiptop health, feeling safe in lockdown and don't want it to end?

I've got stage 1 high blood pressure, and am a little bit overweight. I've been exercising and eating well, and have lost weight, but I'm still not a healthy weight and still have high blood pressure.

I've increasingly been feeling nervous about the news of lockdown restrictions being lifted and starting to mingle with people again. I feel safe at the moment. I've read journal articles about how high the percentage is for severe covid-19 in people with high blood pressure, and I'm just feeling like I don't want to come out of lockdown.

I fully appreciate it's irrational. I think it's the constant "stay safe" "stay home" - those messages have been relentless, even when trying to avoid the news or social media - I go for a walk and children have chalked the messages on drives and pavements, signs in house windows etc. It's been rammed home to us to stay at home to be safe, and now we're to start having to go back out again... And I don't want to Confused

Anyone else not in optimal health feeling nervous about lockdown being lifted?

Me. Obese here but I cannot afford, materially and socially, to admit I should be locked down any longer than the general population. I’m actually quite worried this situation will make it harder for fat fuckers like me to secure employment in the future.
