Hi , hope everyone keeping well during this crazy time , are you all shielding at the moment?
I've been shielding since 16th march but this was taken out of my hands after a flare up of my severe COPD, SARS was low 70s and I needed hospitalion , home again now thankfully but on home oxygen so have major things to adapt to.

Sorry you had that bad time but really pleased you are home and doing well. I'm still shielding and will do so until I feel totally safe. Have a lovely day and take care of yourself π Bernadette xx xx π
Like you, I am carrying on shielding until I feel it safe, although i am in Scotland and we have different time scales from England... WE are still all in this together.
Hi, glad you're a bit better - I've been shielding since March and will continue to do so - I'm happy to stay home with my pets (and husband, of course!) where I feel safe. Keep well xxx
Don't really feel confident going out yet if the new infection rates are estimated at around 8000 daily at the moment.
Since the Dominic Cummings fiasco and together with the changing advice given in the daily briefings -dont leave your home for at least 12 weeks -then yep you can go out for excercise- I don't believe anything that's said by govt now.
Welcome, yes I'm shielding too, though I'm in Wales and just heard we're being aid to carry on shielding until August we're apparently going to get another letter to explain. Wasn't planning on going anywhere anyway, not safe out there yet.
It's all a bit of a shock when you first come out of hospital and on oxygen too, hopefully you will start to feel a little bette soon, you take care.
Hi glad you are feeling better, must be worrying for you. I have mild copd but have been sheiding for 11 weeks now, work has been in touch with and said I wont be in work for the foreseeable future..
I am still shielding as i don't feel confident enough to go out as yet, am keeping busy cooking, tidying, gardening and doing odd jobs around the home. Sold my car yesterday as don't think i will be able to use it for ages. Was a bit difficult to do, but the manager of a local. garage came round and we conducted conversation through letterbox!
You don't say if you're living alone or with others but hopefully most of the time we are all still sane (although occasionally the surreal nature of this does hit.)
Due to conflicting messages from the government ( even down right dishonesty ) I'm trusting my own "instincts" and staying in. Eventually we will get out so I'm erring on the side of caution so that when that time comes, I'll still be here to enjoy it.
