Am I at risk?

Hi I am Wayne and want to know if I am at risk from coronavirus. I have mobility problems and use a wheelchair most of the time and a walking aid

They will only allow someone to do the shopping for someone else if they can produce the letter received from the NHS mentioned above. No letter, no double shopping. Otherwise you would have everyone saying that they are shopping for mum or dad etc when they are not hoping to get a bigger shop.
The letter has been based on people that are high risk.
Who's at high risk from coronavirus
Coronavirus can make anyone seriously ill, but there are some people who are at a higher risk.
For example, you may be at high risk from coronavirus if you:
- have had an organ transplant
- are having certain types of cancer treatment
- have blood or bone marrow cancer, such as leukaemia
- have a severe lung condition, such as cystic fibrosis or severe asthma
- have a condition that makes you much more likely to get infections
- are taking medicine that weakens your immune system
- are pregnant and have a serious heart condition
Up until now anybody and everybody who wanted a delivery had them. The slots will now be given to those with that letter first. There is disability and there is disability with a high risk of death.Registering with the government is being abused with people saying they are at high risk when they are not.
Because my daughter who normally does our weekly shop for us along with her own was refused because she did not have my letter with her. She was limited to 3 items of anything, including 3 packs of cigs for me, and only and one type of meat. So the supermarket is taking this seriously as they should do. I could have it delivered but prefer for her to do it for us.
If you are not eligible as per the above list you have to find another way of doing your shop and give the slots up to those that really need them.
