I feel very sorry for anyone with ongoing and severe asthma who lives with this fear all of the time.


I will do all I can to avoid respiratory illness in general and Covid in particular.

If I was 30 again my outlook on future lifestyle would be different but I’m not,I’m 60 next year and I believe in being careful.
Then I would be very cautious as well.

I'm 66. My cholesterol, blood sugar and weight is all considerably lower than 10 years ago. Apart from following govt advice to the letter I believe the biggest contribution I can make to things is to out and spend some money when it's 'safe' to do so.
