Peripheral neuropathy risk group for covid-19?

[palmier]

I've read that having PA doesn't mean you're in a risk group for covid-19, but the NHS list of conditions that increase the risk includes "chronic neurological conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), a learning disability or cerebral palsy"

gov.uk/government/publicati...

so if you in addition to PA have peripheral neuropathy, shouldn't that qualify as a chronical neurological condition?

It's from a page about social distancing, but shouldn't it also be a reason to continue with the treatment with b12 injections?

Yes, I wondered when I read that list. But I can't imagine that my peripheral neuropathy could have any real influence on how my body reacts to the virus.

I've decided that I'm going to treat myself as if I am in a high-risk group in some ways, not others.

So I'm not going out unless totally necessary - to buy food or pick up meds. No visitors to the house. Strict hygiene practiced when I do go out (use hand sanitiser when I get back to the car with shopping, wash hands when I get home with the shopping, wash hands after I've put the shopping away - I may even consider wearing disposable gloves while shopping).

That's after I've finished my two-week isolation because I live with people who have had symptoms (assuming I don't come down with it in the next six days).
