[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2367832, member: 451727"] I used that algorithm and it gave me a score of 78/100 with 100 being the highest risk, I'm 59, normal BMI, BAME too which added a few points, and priority 6. Heard nothing at all yet. Once again it seems to be down to the opinions of individual GPs rather than any consistency. For anyone interested, have a play with the QCovid algorithm they are using, add some conditions you haven't got, change your age and up the weight etc, add a different ethnicity if you like and it is STILL impossible as far as I can tell to get above the 80/100 score. The extremely vulnerable appear to be categorised as 'need to shield' if they score 98 plus. It puzzles me because to get to that high score you surely would already have been categorised as clinically extremely vulnerable. [/QUOTE]
