Hi I have hypersensitivity pneumonitis and been taking steroids for over 3 years. With the coronavirus, should I self isolate do you think?

The answer to your question I believe is yes. From my reading of the data coming from China anyone with a lung condition should. From my understanding the government will shortly be advising anyone over the age of 70 and those with at risk conditions to self isolate. At present I am not going out of the house unless it is absolutely necessary.. In the last week I have arranged that future GP appointments are done by phone. They have also agreed to give me two months worth of medications. I always shop online. If you do isolate then you need to start thinking of making practical arrangements on how you are going to arrange it.
