The eagle eyed amongst you all with have noticed this changed a couple of days ago from 'vulnerable' to 'clinically extremely vulnerable' person.
It is initially meant for those 1.5m to be 'shielded' rather than 'isolated' to avoid being overwhelmed by those in the latter category, especially if they have families/neighbours/other support groups to help (encouragement is to approach the local councils 1st)
Hi John
Is your sister one of the shielded who received a letter? Then register. Or did she not get a letter and thinks she should? Then chase up with her doctors and consider registering.
One of those, care, but if in doubt....
On the contact side, we are all getting together for a google hangout - just got to time it to include my brother who is in the US! Will really annoy him as he hated it when we all talked at once in the pub last time we all met up....can you imagine it on a small screen.
