Hi all
I am Type 2 age 52 on Metformin and bp tablets and my husband is type 1 at 69 with lung nodules, i am concerned as i dont know where as type 2 i stand with my work as i work in Ambulance control, a few people in my place of work have already been put off for the 12 weeks what the goverment has put forward ex cancer pt s and asthma ok understandable but i am still in work there has been someone in work with the symptoms of corona and have gone home to self isolate for 7 day, obviously they seem reluctant to tell me and other type 2 s to go home they say we have to wait for occuy health to decide whether we should go home so dont know how long that will be. look i am not afraid to work i know how important my job is but i am scared of getting this and going home to my husband with it, i think type 2s must not come under this 12 week thing, now i know the flu jab wont protect this virus but i am offered the flu jab every year but i cant have it as my face swells up and my eyes so i react to it terrible, so i worry as i cant have that, im so confused by it and worried

Reportedly Kaletra is also testing well in combo with hydroxychloroquine in Australia.
so well reportedly that they are rolling it out to 50 hospitals.

these seem to be the ones who are about to be subject to the 12 week rule https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...protecting-older-people-and-vulnerable-adults
Note: there are some clinical conditions which put people at even higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19. If you are in this category, next week the NHS in England will directly contact you with advice about the more stringent measures you should take in order to keep yourself and others safe. For now, you should rigorously follow the social distancing advice in full, outlined below.
People falling into this group are those who may be at particular risk due to complex health problems such as:
- people who have received an organ transplant and remain on ongoing immunosuppression medication
- people with cancer who are undergoing active chemotherapy or radiotherapy
- people with cancers of the blood or bone marrow such as leukaemia who are at any stage of treatment
- people with severe chest conditions such as cystic fibrosis or severe asthma (requiring hospital admissions or courses of steroid tablets)
- people with severe diseases of body systems, such as severe kidney disease (dialysis)
We are on the stringently follow the social distance guidelines list. See link in signature.Yes I don’t think type 2 will be on the list just have to take our chances not good thought
sadly unless told by goverment my employer will not send type 2 home so going to be risky for me as work in NHS
