[QUOTE="AmandaThompson, post: 2284887, member: 336495"] I work in retail and have been shielding/furloughed. Originally until end of October, then work brought it forward to end of July. Late Friday I got an email from work saying I am to return tomorrow. I work in the town centre and would normally get a train in. I have been really anxious, as apart from my diabetes, I have a heart condition, graves disease, ehler's danlos, and am also black. My gp has not contacted me at all during all this. My boss told me to stay home on 16th March and that is where I've remained. Until tomorrow. I am so so scared. It's not my colleagues or my workplace itself, it's the idiots out there who flout the guidelines and put everyone at risk. Being a single parent in addition to all the rest, I cannot afford to catch this awful disease. Not definite it would prove fatal, but also not definite it wouldn't. I don't know where to turn for proper advice. My boss has offered me a parking space, which I'll take up so I swerve public transport, but I'm still scared. Am I being too sensitive? [/QUOTE]
