ptathion 10 #244 Posted March 22, 2020 Maybe I should have panic bought? Looks like i'm going to be in the self isolation group for 12 weeks or shielding group as its now called, so I've just registered and tried to shop on 4 different online shopping sites, none have any delivery slots available. If anyone knows of any online shops that do have delivery slots available for new customers I would be interested to know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If anyone knows of any online shops that do have delivery slots available for new customers I would be interested to know I thought there was some mention of food parcels being sent out to the shielded group. At least that’s what I understood from the last PM’s press conference. Also, was at ASDA this morning, a queue to get in before opening. Soon as doors opened, everyone bunches up, the 2m rule right out the window. Please be careful while out and about, and keep a safe distance between people.

Yes that's correct, the wording on the nhs site isn't actually 100% clear to me People on immunosuppression therapies "sufficient" to significantly increase risk of infection. so I still have to wait up to a week to find out if im sufficiently immune suppressed. Mostly im just trying to not be a bother to others and sort out for myself whatever I can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

From the link NB the following biologics may or may not be on a primary care record/database as they are prescribed in secondary care but can be searched for on HES if given in a day case unit, eg X92.1 includes rituximab, tocilizumab and infliximab. Subcut drugs, eg adalimumab and etanercept, are supplied by homecare companies. The receipt of any biologic probably puts the patient in the high or very high category.

Thanks for the link, being on methotrexate and a diabetic looks to put me into the high or very high category. I have a feeling that I will get skipped over as my GP isn't allowed to prescribe me the methotrexate, I can only get that from the hospital consultant, anyway, time will tell.
