not sure whats going on with me at the minute !

got a text saying i am in the extremely vulnerable group. I have also received a clinically extremely vulnerable group letter. This is news to me so i guess i will have to get in touch with my GP to find out whats going on. I turned 60, 3 months ago and within those 3 months i have had two lots of skin cancer cut out of my head with about 25/30 stiches etc. Also had the camera up the arse and a few things cut out. Plus some cream to put on my head to 'burnout' any remaining pre-cancer ceils

Now i have a letter from the dept of Health and social care telling me to shield and to be put on the furlough scheme.

anyone else got something like this but unaware their were in this group ?
 
Regional scoreboard highlights

Everywhere down as you might expect and I expect testing was low to create that number. If not it is excellent news.

Not sure quite so good for the NW though this is the lowest number even here since New Year.


South:-


East 4449 - down over 2000 from 6573 - lowest number since Christmas.

London 8838 - down over 2000 but has been lower in past week.

South East 6289 - down nearly 2700 - biggest fall today.

South West 2598 - down just 238.



Midlands:-


East Midlands 2651 - down about 900

West Midlands 5063 - down 2000 but higher than even 2 days ago.



North:-


North East 1261 - down 700 but again lower 2 days ago.

Yorkshire 1200 - down nearly 1000 to lowest since Christmas


And North West 5083 - the biggest number outside the south but down 1281 in day. More than most but not as much as some.

However, lowest so far in 2021 though was lower in week after Christmas. And much lower for many weeks before Christmas.

I expect it is because you have had cancer treatment
 
By the way I never got round to the Northern Ireland data earlier (was chatting too long on phone - sorry) but here it is.

22 deaths. It was 9 last Saturday.

705 cases. It was 1442 last Saturday. Think that is lowest cases here in a while.

Positivity is 25.7% (very good for here always high as fewer tests) - it was 30.2% last Saturday.

David Parrott is just 19 years old and he sits in isolation wearing an oxygen mask that help his COVID-ravaged lungs to breathe.

"They are sicker now, sicker than the first wave. Sicker and younger. And when you are sicker you are going to be in hospital for a longer period of time and then you can't really always predict what way things will go. We are seeing some tragic situations."

COVID-19: 'Patients are younger and sicker than in the first wave'

A doctor treating COVID-19 patients says the stream of admissions is "relentless" and those affected are younger than last year.

The medical research concensus now is that winter is worse for viruses because we lack vitamin D. People of all ages become sicker because the immune systems are weaker in the winter months.
