I'm trying to find out if I fall into the group of people, that are advised to be "shielded from social contact for around 12 weeks".... I've been told by work that I have to work from home for 14 days, because of my health condition however, I'd prefer not to have to go back after 14 days and stay safe

To anyone querying if they are high risk/should isolate due to covid-19 (or are caring for someone)
I apologise if anyone considers this to be arrogant or in any way condescending, that’s really not my intention, but I’ve noticed quite a few posts over the last few days (somewhat understandably) from people with lung conditions or caring for people with lung conditions, asking about whether they should

Been ill for 5 days. Is it corona?
I haven’t posted for a while as I haven’t suffered AF or even tachy for some time. I thought I’d tell you all this though: I’ve been very unwell since Sunday. I do work in an independent primary school where Children cough on me daily and travel all over the world in each school holiday I have not gone

Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation sufferer. Will we be required to self isolate?
Hi everyone I’m new to the forum and this is my first post here so forgive me if this has been asked. I’m 28 from the UK. I have Paroxysmal AF. My last big attack was 2 years ago, when I was hospitalised overnight. I’m otherwise in good health. I have been offered the flu vaccine the last two years via

COVID-19 advice please: Lupus but only take Hydroxychloroquine!
I have Lupus but only take Hydroxychloroquine. I am confused- do I come under the 12 week isolation or is it only if taking immunosuppressants as well? They keen referring to those who have the flu jab (I do!) I've read the excellent updated information on this site but still don't know! Many thanks

I work in a primary school. Will my head teacher expect written proof from my GP that I should self-isolate?
Hello I have had PMR and GCA for 3.5 years.Was on 40 mg of Pred. and have tapered, very slowly down to 6.5 but I am now unwell again with painful legs and arms, not neck or shoulders. GP recommended I go back up to 15 mg as she thinks it could be another flare. I am 61 years old. Yesterday I told my

An explanation of how we got here, why Covid19 is NOT the same as seasonal flu and why the measures matter
We have had several replies on the forum from people who think this is much ado about nothing. We know there are people who don't see the importance of hand washing, of social distancing and avoiding crowded places. And even more so for the members of this and other HU communities who are distressed

Unsure if in the vulnerable group
I take uniphyline,carbosytine,montelukast,spiriva,relvar and salbutamol reliever. Have had the flu jab and back in November started a new career. As a social and domestic worker so cannot really do social distancing. My main worry about all this is that I am still in probation and would possibly lose

Does being called for a flu jab every year (aged 62) make me an "at greater risk" person?
Hi. Can someone please help. It concerns the "Underlying health conditions"thing. Every year my GP summons me for a flu jab. I am 62 years old and had CBGs, a Stent, an Aortic valve repair and repairs to my rising Aorta following an Aortic Dissection. My question is am I a person with an underlying

Do I need to self isolate?
Self isolation My diagnosis is undifferentiated connective tissue disorder, likely SLE. I have low counts, neutropenia and lymphopenia and have an annual flu jab. I have been recently quite well so am on a medication holiday so not on immunosuppressants. Do I self isolate? Thanks

Isolated
Do we have to isolate ourselves since we have a weaken immune system? It says on the news the people that have to get the flu jab are included. I feel perfectly fine and am working! Hope everyone takes care.

AM I IN THE VULNERABLE GROUP?
Have you been told you should have the annual flu jab? If yes, you are in the vulnerable group. (Per PHE advice)

Pregnancy and Coronavirus
How worried are you about Coronavirus whilst you’re pregnant? Pregnant women have been told to stay at home, I have my 12 week appointment tomorrow. I presume it goes ahead as usual? I haven’t got a flu shot as I have been wanting to get one when I go to my first appointment to make sure it’s the right

Returning to work
My asthma is currently out of control, I’ve had 12 admissions in the last 6 months, I’m nearly always in resus when I get unwell. I’ve been on steroids since October and currently can’t get lower than 20mg. - the steroids have ruined my immune system, I ended up in isolation 2 weeks ago with influenza
