    UK: REGISTER AS A VULNERABLE PERSON TO GET CORONAVIRUS SUPPORT

    Yes. All I want is access to supermarket online delivery slots myself! I really don't want people I know (i.e. neighbours) learning about my autism. I'm less concerned about being on a more impersonal government list that will tell my supermarket I should be considered as vulnerable.

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    I was listening to Talk Radio this morning between about 4 am-6 am. The presenter was interviewing a doctor (can't remember his name) who kept emphasising to the presenter that if you asked any medical student how to deal with a pandemic, they would say, test, test, isolate positive individuals...

    UK: REGISTER AS A VULNERABLE PERSON TO GET CORONAVIRUS SUPPORT

    It would be worth writing (email if possible) to your GP to highlight your concerns. They are being given some discretion, especially if you have a rare disease that could easily have been missed in the national data trawl.

    It's so evident they don't have any comprehension of what it means to be housebound because you are severely ill.

    UK: REGISTER AS A VULNERABLE PERSON TO GET CORONAVIRUS SUPPORT

    Seems like Asthma UK have been inundated with concerned asthmatics, as they seem to have removed the table I used to work out that my steroid medication exceeds the threshold of what is moderate to what is severe asthma. Now the advice it that it is up to your clinician to decide if you have...

    UK: REGISTER AS A VULNERABLE PERSON TO GET CORONAVIRUS SUPPORT

    I think that's why I prefer to be on this list as opposed to asking for help that may be delivered from one of the 600,000 volunteers that have signed up with the NHS, the people involved with this smaller scheme are more likely to be well vetted.

    UK: REGISTER AS A VULNERABLE PERSON TO GET CORONAVIRUS SUPPORT

    Regarding the government list, the public have been told that if they think they should have been included on the list and haven't had a letter by Sunday (we don't get post on Sunday in the UK) then they should directly contact their GP to discuss it. I have no idea what will happen to those who...

    UK: REGISTER AS A VULNERABLE PERSON TO GET CORONAVIRUS SUPPORT

    This narrative about it 'just being the elderly and those with underlying health conditions' dying is exactly what happened here in the UK. That has slowly begun to change since Monday this week, when more severe restrictions started being put in place and police powers of enforcement announced...

    UK: REGISTER AS A VULNERABLE PERSON TO GET CORONAVIRUS SUPPORT

    Yes, lots of talk about 'the elderly and vulnerable' but nothing about the pre-existing 'housebound'. We were invisible before and we're invisible still.

    UK: REGISTER AS A VULNERABLE PERSON TO GET CORONAVIRUS SUPPORT

    A lot of autistic people I know fear the government putting them on 'a list'. For this reason they refuse to have their autism 'flagged' on their medical notes. However, I've always taken the same view as you @Wonko - that the government already have enough records and information about me to...

    UK: REGISTER AS A VULNERABLE PERSON TO GET CORONAVIRUS SUPPORT

    Libraries have all been closed and the CABs are only offering telephone and online help. Obviously this was needed, but all the more reason that a vulnerable person's GP should have been picking them up and referring them for support.

    I'm still not yet on the vulnerable list for Sainsburys, but decided to log on and check slot availability when I couldn't sleep last night. At 3 am in the morning there were slots available for the coming days in my area (I didn't book one because had already arranged for my daughter to do a...

    UK: REGISTER AS A VULNERABLE PERSON TO GET CORONAVIRUS SUPPORT

    If GPs were involved in creating the list of the 'most at risk', what do these omissions tell us about the state of primary care?
