[QUOTE="London36_, post: 2349573, member: 235117"] Been searching here and can’t find anything but would love to know T1 experiences / plans RE the current situation Jan 2021. I’ve asked on Instagram with no luck (type1dee if you want to answer there!) Posted here RE Covid at start of first lockdown which was so helpful as we can’t ask anyone else [emoji4][emoji173]️ Sooo, I had shielding letter at first lockdown as I’m in higher risk profession - a secondary teacher, have hashimotos, 41 and T1. Then when shielders were told to shield again recently until start of Dec my school wanted another shielding letter as they said T1 not shielding anymore in their view. I didn’t get another letter and didn’t push it as was very happy to work really as feel so guilty not being there and remote teaching is a nightmare workload wise! Now I’m starting to get really anxious again with rates so high and filled in the ‘get a shielding note’ gov thing a couple of days ago and not received a reply. What are you guys doing? Any info? Opinions? I’m anxious about the difficulty of the situation- not just about getting Covid - but shielding because it’s the sensible thing to do yet simultaneously feeling awful about not being there in person for my exam classes and, for what feels like, career suicide even though I know this shouldn’t be the case. If we shield now, it could be for a long time until we get the vaccine? [/QUOTE]
