What are you doing if you are in a vulnerable group?

[SylvanianFrenemies]

I'm diabetic and take medication for another condition, the medication has immune suppressant qualities.

I'm generally healthy apart from the above.

I work for the NHS but my role is zero use in combating Coronavirus. I have bits and pieces I can do working from home, but obviously not my clinical work.

Not sure if I should expect to be at work?! Feel guilty about prospect of being off, but equally don't want to take serious risks. Wondering how others would approach it/are approaching it. Media coverage seems to assume that there are no barriers to social distancing/self isolation if you are in an at risk group!

@SallySun123 yes, this is mainly to try and protect our ds.

Practically, I think we'll have to spend more hours in the evenings and weekends working as we'll get less done in the day.
We're fortunate to have a garden and live somewhere where we can order takeaways (although they'll have to leave on the doorstep!).

I have asthma
Carrying on as usual. Have to use public transport.

Diabetic, really worried about the huge death rate and know if I catch it at the very least it is likely to be nasty and hit me hard.

Cut out as much social contact as possible, stopped going swimming or to public places if I can avoid it.

Handwashing more often than usual.

Stocking up in case I can't get out.

I’ve got ALOT of conditions which make me ‘vulnerable’ but what happens, happens and I’m living as per the norm. I’m

I have Addison's(autotune adrenal insufficiency) so have to take steroids every day. it should be a replacement dose (ie replacing the steroids my adrenals no longer produce naturally) rather than immune system-repressing, but there are only 8500 of us in total in the UK so v little patient data.

Husband and I have been working from home but have three children aged 1,3 and 5 and the 5 yo is at school and 3yo at nursery. our 5yo is autistic and exceptionally hard work and our nanny has been ill this week (sore throat, not corona). My mental health is very fragile due to the constant strain related to the 5yo. Part of me wants to evacuate everyone to the countryside somewhere, but if we have to deal with weeks of no childcare (nanny wouldn't come too), with no school, I am not sure how I would cope. I am beginning to think that for us, having no support from school/nanny will kill us faster than corona. It's utterly draining. I am up worrying about it now. And I have to do a call with a client tomorrow....

Nothing...there is literally nothing i could do.

I'm immunosupressed and a nurse with a limited clinical role. At the moment I have no clinical commitments for the next 2 weeks so can hopefully work from home. If pulled into the front line I'll worry about that when it happens and I'm meant to be on leave in a week

I'm worried too as I have uncontrolled asthma and usually have a flare up this time of year. I don't even know if I would go to hospital if I had the symptoms of it

I have recently had Lemtrada leaving me with a very low immune system (0.2). I'm just hoping it goes up soon.

I'm avoiding public transport and very busy places but still have to work.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder because of that risk is increased.
Also it is thought that viruses thrive in higher blood sugar levels
