Like 500k other people in the UK, (Google) I am still living in part isolation/shielding with no end in sight. For people like me, lockdown never really ended because society dropped all precautionary measures.

Immunocompromised means that, due to a specific health condition, or because they receive certain treatments, they have a weakened (compromised) or impaired (suppressed) immune system. (Google) With Cerebral Palsy, (a health condition) my day-to-day immunity functioning is difficult.

Thousands are struggling with Covid, with Long-Covid

It’s not right or fair that we are being singled out in this way. There are thousands of people struggling and/or suffering with Covid, with long-covid or indirectly because they are high risk. What is disconcerting is that it was allowed to happened on such a large scale, it's still out there and it's still being ignored by the UK Government.

I manage walks, and if the weather is okay, I'll mask up and head over to a local coffee shop, but won't sit inside. It is no life, but without small concessions, I would be permanently locked in my home.

The WHO is still tracking Covid (new variants)

So, Covid is still out there. The WHO is closely tracking with interest one variant (VO1), XBB.1.5 and six other variants, BQ.1, BA.2.75, CH.1.1, XBB, XBF and XBB.1.16. (Source: https://www.business-standard.com/)

Charities and individuals continue to campaign

Charities and individuals have campaigned for over three years to get the UK government to change their stance on lifting all precautionary measures. There are also no precautionary measures in hospitals. It should be mandatory for patients and medical staff alike to mask up, so that the clinically vulnerable are protected. In care homes also.

There are still many high risk and vulnerable people out there who need the wider population to protect them. People are still dying from Covid because people are following policies that are causing harm.
