Hi Lorrie, I just posted something about this in the other discussion in the group, but I'll share it with you again here. I thought I had seen a place where you could register yourself if you felt you should shield and you haven't been contacted, but I can't seem to find it. But instead I did manage to find this site from the lung foundation that describes what you can do: https://www.blf.org.uk/support-for-you/coronavirus/what-is-social-shielding

Have you checked with the council or in groups for your area on Facebook? I think many are getting together to organise volunteer assistance with shopping and pharmacy runs. Maybe check that?

@Lorrie45 Hello Lorrie, Thank you for starting this discussion. There is one like that members have been contributing to and helping one another just here:

Have you received a message from NHS about COPD and coronavirus advice?

You may find some helpful tips and advice from members there. emoticon cute

Take care,
