Are those of us in otherwise good health a vulnerable group? I heard from someone whose husband has one kidney that Covid-19 leaves kidneys damaged as well as the respiratory system.

I’m also trying to find out if people like us are classed as high risk, yesterday Boris said that people with chronic kidney problems are, the issue that I have is that I’m self employed and there’s no way I can afford to take 12 weeks off work, so I’m hoping that cystinuria is not classed as chronic, any advice would be greatly appreciated

I’ve always been told Cystinuria is chronic as it’s a life long condition
