Shielders face a dilemma: Should I go outside or not?

Nov 15,2023 8:31 pm

Nick Lockey: "people Like Me have Our Own experts"

people in England and Wales with the health Conditions that could make you susceptible to coronavirus, spend time outdoors on Monday for the First Time in 10 weeks. Some welcomed the chance to finally leave their homes, while others decided to stay indoors.

according to the new rules, people, the "shielding" are allowed outside once A Day with the members in your household, or with someone from another household, while maintaining social distancing, if They Live alone.

More Than two million people in England were strictly isolated At Home since March. They belong to the chemotherapy of cancer patients and people with severe respiratory diseases.

the Family doctors said about the new measures just hours before they were made public, a senior official with The British Medical Association, said, and The Royal College of GPs, advised caution, saying it was a Green Light , so that the people Back To the ways of life before the coronavirus.

The government said it had with leading health institutions in the decision-making, and that he relaxed The Rules because of the coronavirus transmission were significantly lower than in the case of lockdown was first introduced.

But some of those who are now leaving their houses, it is A Dilemma : should they take The Risk ?

', There are still too many people die every day,"

I have severe asthma. I'm not going to - I don't feel comfortable with her and my parents really don't feel comfortable with him. I'm not willing to do anything, the worry, my Mama and my Papa More Than she already worried.

I did not speak had A Chance to go To My doctor The Last Time I spoke with my Advisor was earlier in the screening process and he told me to go outside. I asked him to go into The Garden and He Said More Than an hour of The Day . I don't know how it changed that Much .

Rachael Paget: "It's very anxiety-inducing, the idea goes back before the"

I wonder if I overreacted, But then to go and not to this new rule, go for a walk.

It is difficult to talk about because people Start using these "new normal" and Start again and Getting On with your life, and I'm still At Home .

I think I'll go outside if my consultant says it is OK and if the infection rate drops a bit more. There are still too many people die every day, and feel to a lot of infections for me every day. The House has a lot of very safe harbour. It is very anxiety-inducing, the idea of going back outside.

'I'm in the mood for a proper walk'

I went at five o'clock in The Morning to the centre of Brighton. It was very surreal, very 28 Days Later - the shops were boarded up, obviously No One was, because it was so early. It was a very strange Experience , to really feel a little wind. It was a lone guy playing bongos, and you felt like he was putting on a concert just for me.

I had a heart transplant when I was 16, so I'm on immunosuppressants. He had the feeling that we were a bit forgotten, as The Announcement happened at the weekend, it was a Relief .

Joshua Murray : "For now, I will continue to live careful,"

I'm in an apartment and we have a small balcony, But it is only you stuck your head Out of the levels of the room. This Was the First Time I had stretched my legs and had a right foot, of the longing I've been all This Time .

I took the 05:00 as I am glad to get to go, I just want to do it, if it's not Other People cavort. I wore a mask as well.

I'm going to give it a bit of time before you find yourself in The Middle of The Day .

well, I'll be more careful.

Joshua Murray , 32

', Nothing less than full trust is not going to cut it'

I take immunosuppressants for a condition called myositis and interstitial lung disease. For a long time, it felt like people Like Me , who was forgotten. Then we heard The News , which should have been Great - I've been wanting to leave My House since the Start , But The Problem was the timing of The Message . You can't divorce, an announcement like Everything Else , which is what happened recently.

We have schools go back and try The Announcement , the retail sector back on its feet. I live near a park and I can see how people are not distanced by social security. Many prominent scientific voices.

And Then at the same time, you will receive a notice, saying The Most vulnerable people In Society are allowed to have a bit more freedom. It's a really confusing message

If you are at the Sharp End of the and you feel that the step from the front door is a game of luck then anything less than complete clarity and confidence in the government and the people trying to keep you safe to keep, is just not going to get it cut.

for this reason, I'm not planning to step outside my front door for three weeks. I suppose that's enough time, the impact of the easing of restrictions This Week .

I think the people Like Me , have the experts, the life with The Most dangerous realities of this all on Our Own . I trust my judgment More Than I trust the government's judgment, at least for The Moment .

'I missed, with The Dog

walk'I have chronic asthma. At about seven in the evening, we have The Dog and proceeded to go about three miles and sit in The Garden of a friend.

I've been to The Doctors a couple of times, But it was going Out my First Time to Do Something other than that. I have a pretty large garden, so it is so traumatic for me, as the people in the cities.

I was a bit worried, But I suppose that is pretty normal. I had a mask in my bag just in case.

I took The Dog and again on Tuesday morning - it's something I've really missed it. To go My Wife was The Dog until now, she is very satisfied.

'I'm afraid of what will happen if I get it"

I. scleroderma and pulmonary arterial hypertension I can't see The Point in them easing The Rules , because how can it suddenly be OK to go, and in the vicinity of Other People . The people are not going to two meters away from each other. It will not suddenly go away, so I think we are still in the same dangerous situation we were three months ago.

We have a letter at the beginning of all of this spell stay in the shield, because of how dangerous it is for people Like Me , to go Out and have the disease get, But we haven't heard from our consultants here.

things have to open, at some point, and we have to go Back To normal, But I'm afraid of what will happen if I get it. I think it is unfair to us all, As If it is normal, if there are people who still suffer, and I am concerned about the NHS - it is not really to protect you.

I think we should slow down, to relax The Rules .

"There's a whole other way of life"

I have A Lung disease that I've been around for seven years, But it didn't really affect My Life , so it was a shock when I get The Message that I had to.

I really was in two thoughts about going on Monday and I was really careful. I just went for a walk for 15 or 20 Minutes .

Glyn Shemwell: "I think it may also be affected, my ability to communicate"

It was a really surreal Experience - No One expected to go for 10 weeks. I met someone I know and had realized a short conversation and I suddenly, it was my first real face-to-face contact with someone in 10 weeks. I was just talking to bullshit - I think it may also be affected, my ability to communicate.

I realized, it's a whole other way of life that I have not seen it or experienced it, Everything was new for me.
