Coronavirus. Isolate yourself, so says the UK government

Here we go, the UK government.

Quick quote from the article:

"The government announced on Sunday that it would be sending letters to 1.5 million people in England suffering from one of more than a dozen serious conditions which it is believed put them most at risk from coronavirus.

.Here is the article:

Final edit, I found the government website, here we go:

gov.uk/government/publicati...

The pertinent bit is:

"People with rare diseases and inborn errors of metabolism that significantly increase the risk of infections (such as SCID and homozygous sickle cell)."

Metabolic disorder, that's us.

Seems the UK government's chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance's "herd immunity" plan hasn't quite gone to plan.

Take a look at the list of metabolic disorders:

rarediseases.info.nih.gov/d...

Maybe not all susceptible to infections, but it's one hell of a list. Expect the government to swiftly pay us all off with full salaries as we heed their advice.

EDIT, all negative references to any political party removed.

Hi, I have read that list a few times in my life and support group days. Unfortunately I live in Wales. They are not of the group of supporting people down in Cardiff at the Assembly, I’m not on the list for sure and can’t get a food delivery for love or money😢

A very broad governmental definition, "such as ......".

It's one thing to send out a letter, another to back it up with cash/services.

Throw in how women aren't officially affected by AMN into the bargain.

It would be interesting to see how any people with any of the more well-known diseases are faring in accessing any kind of assistance.
