Am I Over Reacting?
24 Answers
Have just received a letter from the government telling me that although I come under the clinically extremely vulnerable group, there is no need for the restrictions that were first put into place, but I must still take certain precautions to stay safe.
Yesterday I read that Trafford has the highest rate of Covid at the moment and this is where a friend of mine lives and who I go to see every week.
I don't wear a mask anymore, but I do wear one of those visor masks when I go in shops etc and I wondered if I should wear it when I go to see my friend or do you think I would be over reacting?
My friend lives with her 2 grown up sons and one of her sons is always in the house too.
None of them ever wear masks, but they have all had both their jabs.

Barsel, I can't see the difference between you visiting them or them visiting you. Mixing with people is the issue. I certainly wouldn't worry about them taking the micky. Just laugh back and say 'As much as I like you I'm not prepared to die for you!' Take care of yourself, Barsel. You're vulnerable. Never mind what they say.
Barsel i got the same letter a few days ago. Its a generic letter for people who are on the 'highly Vulnerable' list and not specifically aimed at you personally. They are only suggestions, and advise you to contact a health professional if you are concerned.
"You should consider advice from your health professional on whether additional precautions are right for you. However, as someone with a health condition, you may want to consider, alongside any advice from your clinician, if additional precautions are right for you. These could include:
considering whether you and those you are meeting have been vaccinated – you might want to wait until 14 days after everyone’s second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine before being in close contact with others
considering continuing to practice social distancing if that feels right for you and your friends
asking friends and family to take a rapid lateral flow antigen test before visiting you
asking home visitors to wear face coverings
avoiding crowded spaces "
