I also have asthma and copd have had antibiotics and three courses of steroids since December on for St airs 200/6 inhaler and the blue inhaler but have not had a letter still working as s support worker. Spoke to a nurse at my gaps she said if I had been 65 (Im 64) I would have had a letter. She told me just to be very careful. So after speaking to her I couldn't see any point in speaking to my gp

I've been listening to the coronavirus meeting by the NHS and the government as people telling me different things so I have found out that they are trying different tests the one I saw recently was on face book about using the Ebola treatment, and then they try something else, when we had a pandemic for swine flu they soon found a treatment for that so why is it taking to long for this ,surely with all the world having this they can't all get together and sort this out there are people acting like idiots and ignoring the rules we will never get rid of this ,why cant they use stronger rules and fine them more money or maybe put them all on house arrest now papers are saying that they are going to make us elderly stay in there is a up roar over this are we not considered as equal surely it should be up to the individual if they want to go out why cant us elderly wear masks

I have had several letters from NHS and government and they have all said to isolate for 12 weeks this is been my 9th week haven't been out I'm definitely sticking to the rules ,things do look as it is coming out and people are getting better which is a great sign ,but I would like to know if it does go back to the norm are we going to be clear or can it come back again and if we can go out I'm definitely going to wear a mask ,I would just like to hold my children and grandchildren and great grandson, again ,plus I'm worried about my P IP will I get back or will I lose it yet again last time I went two yrs without it had to go to court and fight to get it back took to people with me plus my husband I got the henhanced rate plus they gave me my money back but this time I have the same illnesses plus now breast cancer in remission but dont get this all clear for another 7yrs and emphysema and lymphoedema on top of everything else, so that's more worry on my anxiety PTSD low moods,

If the antibiotics don't work Debs3121 you should go to the hospital as you might need the antibiotics by drip I have COPD and brochuectuis probably not spelt right lol but seriously the hospital is probably cleaner than any other place I was told not to be scared to go I had a infection 2 weeks ago but the antibiotic worked in the house. .

Hi there. I received a text this morning from NHS saying that I could open a window but couldn't go outside my property. It also said I couldn't take my rubbish out. I have already been in the house for 3 weeks but am I to understand that I can't even go on my garden now? Have you or do you know of anyone else who has had this text. I am now feeling as if I am in prison?
