I have copd and still work...will I receive a text off the NHS about isolating?

[Hidden]

Only if your copd is severe

[Llegkt1 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you x

[Hidden in reply to Llegkt1]

I just checked back & if you scroll down on this link you’ll see how “severe” is defined blf.org.uk/support-for-you/...

[Llegkt1 in reply to Hidden]

Just checked that thank you x

[Chezz123 in reply to Hidden]

oh mine are bith severe trust me i know hospital every five minslol

[Badbessie in reply to Hidden]

Thank-you for that link I do not know how I missed it. I do fall into the high risk category in relation to copd.

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Badbessie]

I hadn't seen the link either, well I tried opening it the other day but it didn't work, anyway I see it now and I seem to come into that category on two counts which I'm surprised about. I didn't get a text though, so maybe we have to meet several criteria 🤔

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Badbessie]

Are there several lists and several categories? I'm confused now. I guess until I get back I don't need to worry too much, I'm isolated here anyway 🏔️

[Badbessie in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

I am not severe by the gold standard. However due to having two infections which required antibiotics and steroids that puts me in the high risk group.

[Spacecat1]

Still waiting for mine assume will take a few days to contact us all

[Llegkt1 in reply to Spacecat1]

Not sure if I will get one...if they only gI've them to someone who is severe...and I was mild/moderate the last spirometry 2yr ago...hope you ate well and coping with this at the moment x

[Llegkt1 in reply to Llegkt1]

Ignore spelling 👆 no gleggs 😞

Should do as you are at high risk to spite being well.

Hello Llegkt1. They have said this morning at 9 o clock on the news that text messages to those who are most at risk and should isolate have just started being sent out. So should hear soon. I know i will get 1. But not had it yet. Keep well Brian

Morning I received my text message yesterday xx

[Chezz123]

Me neither website now updated saying by Sunday 29th March before receiving a text or letter x

[Mikeyb955 in reply to Chezz123]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I understood everyone who is classed as extremely vulnerable will be notified by the 29th...? I had my text yesterday... Stay safe everyone

[Chezz123 in reply to Mikeyb955]

First it was Mon 23rd March then it was tuesday then today came and now .........by the 29th March lol maybe theyr`e procrastinating to save energy but I am also stuck for food delivery no slots available I need help now not by end of week ?????

[Mikeyb955 in reply to Chezz123]

Have you registered as a extremely vulnerable person on gov.uk website it's for people like yourself who are stuck... And can't go out for supplies... Here is the link my friend....

gov.uk/government/publicati...

Just copy and paste it... Hopefully they can help you... And also try reaching out in your local area... A lot of areas have set up Facebook groups to help people like us... Stay safe and keep in touch let me know how you get on please... 😊

[Chezz123 in reply to Mikeyb955]

Unfortunately Mikey I am in Scotland so the nhs does not apply up here it is nhs.inform/scot

[Mikeyb955 in reply to Chezz123]

Ah right ok... Sorry didn't realise... Well hopefully the Scottish Goverment will have schemes in place... 👍

I am 60 and have mild COPD and received a text yesterday. I work full-time (not at the moment as not a key-worker) and the text states I need to be off for 12 weeks. I also have a rescue pack from the surgery which I asked for.

[Isme]

I got my text yesterday afternoon, so today is my first day off work. I thought I was moderate but then again I've been getting recurrent chest infections one being pseudomonas.. Plus immunosuppressed for Lupus. I live alone and trying to stay positive while arranging meds etc. Stay safe x

[Mikeyb955 in reply to Isme]

I guess because you've had infections that I assume you were treated for with steroids and antibiotics and that you are on immunosupressants that they have classed you as extremely vulnerable... Stay safe... X

Llegkt1

Hi, Unless the COPD is at a high level or you have other illness you shouldn't get the letter,only those that are considered high risk which you don't seem to be.

Keep well & safe.

Keith
