Hi i know of people who have sever lung conditions and have come through covid some with ease others via itu but they have recoverd well. The hospital will keep you well away from the covid wards. It is important to get the jab stop googling covid.....google the weather looks like we may get snow tonight s/e.

Take some long deep breaths, hopefully you'll see that it helps calm anxiety so that you can do it again and again. Get your vaccine, you need it. Wear a well fitting mask, wear a visor as well if you have one and disposable gloves. Get in and out as fast as you can after the 15 minute wait afterwards to make sure you're okay. Use anti-viral hand gel over yr gloves constantly. Discard all your outer clothes inside your front door and leave to quarantine, wash your hands well then go and have a hot shower. Thats what I'd do anyway. I have anti-viral spray inside the front door to do the doormat area.

All the hospital vaccinations I've seen on tv are always in large sparsely populated rooms as per guidelines. You'll be fine if you take all precautions, hospital staff are tested all the time. Stop Googling! It only feeds anxiety. Now breathe.

I know two asthmatics who have had covid. Both had mild symptoms to their surprise. Others with no comorbidities in the same group and younger suffered more. Please do not use DR Google as the information can often be conflicting or take. Remember that not all with comorbidities become ill.

I have a string of comorbidities that put me at extremely high risk of morbidity, yet I survived back in April. Yes, I was very ill with it, but I also avoided being admitted to hospital. Risk does not mean certainty in any shape or form.

Crossing a busy road has a risk, but it is not a certainty of getting run over.

Many of the hospital vaccine centres are well away from the hospital wards especially Covid wards. Some are outside even. I think you will feel safe attending and the benefits of vaccines are huge.

If you can have the vaccine that's great news., the hospital's taking care that they have no risk when you get the vaccine, and believe that a lot of nurses are scared too, we all are. I really hoping that I can get the very weak version of it when they produce them for people that are immunosuppressive. Best wishes and stay safe and warm. ✅🍀🍀🍀
