[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2264642, member: 365308"] thanks for your considered response. I suppose my feeling is that lockdown is a luxury for those of us on furlough or paid by the state and I am thinking of the deaths that are caused by the lockdown itself or the ongoing harms of crashing our economy and those of the less developed countries. I know of 2 people who anecodotally have had this virus and recovered plus my step grandma who died of it or sepsis aged 104 but quite a few more who've lost work (dog walker, site manager, property developer and hospitality manager) and can't be supported by a dwindling band of tax payers indefinitely. I just wanted to put the other side and the recent stats by Prof Karr don't convince me that I am any more at risk that I was before. We don't know how many have been exposed and been symptomless, have been exposed and got ill but recovered in the community but know that age rather than diabetes status is still the biggest risk yet still out of 376,000 type 1s (going on DuK figures here) 365 type 1s died with CoVid and not necessarily of it i.e. 0.07% of us with the average age being 70.2 years.
