[QUOTE="swan45, post: 2237610, member: 316783"] I am type 2 and i am 59 . I do havd history of past chest infections and bron hitis but it appwars its type 1 that are to isolate not type 2. So then i read diabetics are at high risk .so whybis type 2 not seen enough of a risk to self isolate? I would rather be at work but i would rather not be dead. I know if i got it i would die. I am not exactly fit . I am at present taking holiday pay from my upcoming holiday weeks due to me this year but not all holiday. My work will re assess in a few weeks to see how this virus is going and what to do next. I work in a supermarket so i cannot socially distance myself . I can see that i am not going to make it if i get it. So because these guidlines are putting type 2 into the lesser of the high risk catagory and i will have to self distance as they say, i am seriously going to write a will and get my priorities sorted. It looks like coronavirus is here to stay until they find a cure and the way its going its not even started yet. Diebetes 2 is seen high risk but its not enough for us to be put into isolation. Also not assessing peoples individual health whom may have other underlying issues as well that pushes up the risk even more it seems that many of us are not being evaluated as individuals with this life threatening virus.
