[QUOTE="simo_M, post: 2368627, member: 530476"] I've just been told that I've been added to the extremely vulnerable list and have no idea why! No risk factors other then well controlled type 2 (Metformin) and being male. Otherwise fit and healthy 45 year old with BMI of 24 Have discussed with my GP, who has said that she's not been told the criteria and can't see anything justifying it. She also mentioned that of the last shielding list about 40% of those the practice reviewed were incorrect. According to calculator my absolute risk of death would be 1 in 7092. Of course, a critical piece of information missing from the calculator is that I've had covid and know from being a convelescent plasma donor that I still have plenty of antibodies. Can't help but think this dramatically changes risk. I find it annoying that they do not provide any explanation of the factors that have resulted in the risk determination. Without this it's very difficult to know if it's just bad data, or something more concerning. [/QUOTE]
