[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2266635, member: 521172"] Yep and hypertension isn't even listed as "clinically vulnerable" let alone "extremely". More than likely due to once again the sheer numbers who would have it, especially undiagnosed I suspect. From what I can gather you don't have to shield if you wish not to even if suggested. However where it would help is those that are advised to work from home if possible as clinically vulnerable. I know some employers are trying to use the "there is no work from home" excuse to strong arm some clinically vulnerable people back to work with the threat to wages or even jobs. The Shielded List is black and white rather than the Clinically Vulnerable being almost a matter of interpretation so being shielded would more likely safeguard wages and jobs until at least more is known about risks etc. [/QUOTE]
