    thanks Beverley. now that we have been told today by Boris that elderly and vulnerable people should self isolate for 12 weeks (having no Coronavirus symptoms) I am struggling to find out online whether those with ME are vulnerable.

    surely we are at greater risk of the effects of Coronavirus being serious for us?

    my GP hasn't advised me yet even though I've asked.

    Hi Amber,

    I agree there is not enough information available on who is considered vulnerable apart from the elderly.

    I find it shocking that children and students are still expected to go to school and parents can still be fined if children are kept away from school if they are not ill but, their parents are being told non essential meetings are not to be allowed. let's hope for clarity soon!
