[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2246539, member: 345386"] KK123 - I am well known for detesting labels. Saying diabetes makes a person more vulnerable to x, y or z is no more helpful than saying women are rubbish drivers. As someone with A1cs in the 20s, my levels are likely better than a decent chunk of normies. I was a weedy, sickly child, suffering pneumonia at 4, and often cite the reason I pick up very few infections, colds and so on, is that I had them all before I became a teenager. Of course, that's flippant, but you get the drift. Couple that with my early professional life being spent working with super-spreaders. You can trust me, I've seen some snotty noses. I'd say my immune system is pretty good. Of course, COVID seems pretty indiscriminate, so of course, I'm being careful and mindful of those around me. In my view, each individual's risk profile is just that. Individual. Some folks will have had indisputable increases to their risk profiles - such as losing a lot of lymph nodes or be undergoing some treatments. Of course, with the rapidity of this legislation and the resulting changes to our lives, in many instance only binary decisions and classifications could be made, but these are very clunky metrics.
