[QUOTE="UK T1, post: 2266664, member: 503751"] I think this is the key thing. I wouldnt expect blanket shielding either. Also, no where does it say you have to follow the advice and have to shield if you do get a letter. Everyone is different and has different lives and different situations at home. Some find controlling their diabetes a nightmare at the best of times, so it makes sense that GPs partly assess on an individual basis. Lots might feel they don't need the letter, while others might feel they can't afford to take the chance of contracting it at the moment, and have (for various reasons) been shielding regardless. The headlines are no reason to be scared, I agree the overall risk is still low, but the new research might help those with already difficult personal situations, which would then be made that much harder if they contracted it.
