The NHS will contact you if you are in the 12 week isolation group

As per this NHS link

For the confused asthmatics (myself included) it says severe asthma only

www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/

Do you think that includes COPD? I wish they'd listed the other serious health conditions!

COPD I would think almost definitely

my daughter has cystic fibrosis. And asthma. And diabetes. And a hole in her heart.

Thanks Maderia

Some definitions I've read day that severe asthma is that which cannot be controlled just with a prevented and a reliever inhaler. And mentions steroids.

I'm.a grey area. Mine cannot be controlled by just my inhalers and I need montelukast to stay wheeze free. But it's not a steroid..
And I had a lot of steroids just before christmas when a chest infection wouldn't clear.

I'd like to know about asthma too! My son's asthma is well controlled at the moment, but that's with a preventer and montelukast. He's been hospitalised several times with viral wheeze and had steroid tablets following those episodes. I seem to get more confused every time the govt issues new guidance.

What about hypertension? I thought that was one of the risk factors 🤷‍♀️

Our GP called today to inform us about my daughter and to prepare her to 'be a hermit for a FEW MONTHS'
he gave us all the drugs we could ever need

I greatly doubt the NHS will contact me. They’ve never given a crap before. I was diagnosed for ten years before I discovered I was supposed to have an annual checkup - a new GP checked my record and freaked out about the lack of follow up. I still have to fight for my checkups by asking repeatedly and asking a different GP if the first one says no. I can’t see them bothering to call me tbh.

DD has almost undetectable asthma, until she catches a virus then she is so I'll - antibiotics and steroids at the first sign of a cold!

DH has chronic lung disease (bronchiectasis) and reacts the same way: which is why they treat DD's colds so aggressively to prevent any future lung damage

We are already self isolating
