I have same condition as your wife, heart attacks , unstable angina , stent etc (/as well as other health conditions) . I have been told by 3 doctors to self isolate.
Before the government put out a more extensive list , now they’ve narrowed it. They simply don’t want to spend the money ! You can see how Boris Johnson has been very slow to act , has given mixed messages , on purpose . The government don’t do that when they want us to pay Council tax or TV licence Fee!
It is being revealed that that healthy , young people are dying from this disease .
It’s better not to rely on the government but use your common sense and also go by the advice of the cardiologists . It’s not worth the risk !
If I were you , I’d advise your wife to self isolate for 12 weeks,. You can either self isolate with her or make sure you are nowhere near her in the house.
Brilliant! Glad to hear it. It’s really nice that you are taking care of her .
It’s not easy being in isolation especially for so long but better than falling ill and losing ones life to this awful disease, That’s what I tell myself , when I get fed up of staying at home.
