Yesterday I received a letter from the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, advising me that, as a clinically extremely vulnerable person due to an underlying health condition, in this case diaganosed pancreatic cancer in 2018, I should have been rigorously shielding.
This is news to me. At no time over the last 3 months have I received any notification of the fact that I should have stayed indoors, and so have happily been outside walking every single day since the pandemic reached the U.K.. Apparently on 1 June, the shileding guiance was slightly relaxed and I could spend some time out of doors once a day. Now, from 6 July, I can meet up with 6 people outdoors while mainatining social distancing.
From 1 August the advice to 'shield' will be paused, but I should still stay at home where possible and my name will remain on the 'Shielded Patients List'.
It's so nice to be informed at last, and I'll now cancel my visit to beaches around the country, and won't be attending any raves.

I guess in your case Amelia purely because you obeyed the rules which applied to everyone you have managed to stay safe and long may you do so. It is the younger generation who were wrongly led to believe that they are less likely to be affected by Covid who are now taking the brunt of it all as they are in the US. The wisdom that comes with age has not reached them yet and they are impatient with time.
Good to know that the paparazzi can still spot you and that you can spot them, try tthe Dalmatian Coast in future, you will not get so hounded there ~~~
