I had an email last week saying that I qualify for treatment if I test positive for covid. (It seems legit - email address checks out, they knew my full name and NHS number.) I'm just confused as to why.
I clicked on the enclosed link, and of the list of qualifying conditions, the only relevant one is cancer. I had cancer a few years ago, but I'm fine now. I do not have cancer any more. The only other 'things' listed on my NHS notes are perimenopause, PCOS, and higher risk drinking, but these weren't mentioned.
So I'm a little confused as to why I qualify. Also nobody I know has mentioned receiving this email so I don't know how common it is. (Yes I do realize that most people don't plaster their medical details all over social media.)
It's all just landed at the forefront of my mind today because I'm coming down with something, and I feel exactly the same as I felt last year when I had covid...
Without wishing to pry into anyone's medical history, does anyone have an opinion on how common these emails are? I'm not particularly worried about covid (fully vaxxed), but I am rather scared of long covid.
