Oshgosh don’t know the answer. Greys.

I have immune conditions and a lung condition,which is not cureable,only manageable with care.

So I presume Iam one of the expendables( 68 with existing conditions.).

I’m trying to carry on - hand washing etc. Use sanitiser when I’m out.

I do use tissues when touching door handles,but I’ve always done this. I think we just need to carry on with care.cant think of anything else to do.
