Where "risk category" includes "has diabetes and high blood pressure" -- these are not what most people think of as high risk conditions.

Yeah. Did you not think someone was going to tell them before they kicked off the plan?

  Did they organize a way to get them groceries in the 2 weeks before giving in to lockdowns? Or was granny supposed to shop online?

    Did they say they wouldn't? If grannies getting groceries was the only blocker, I'd deliver them myself.

      They should have done it already by now, shouldn't they? Granny has been shopping for two weeks while she was supposed to stay home. It's not the only blocker, just an example of the incompetence with which the UK government has been operating thus far.

  They aren't being told. Did you think they were?

    The plan isn't happening.

      The plan is happening in the UK. People in vulnerable groups have been told to shield. There's not much point continuing this conversation: you've been factually incorrect in every single reply you've made to me. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-shiel...

        (1) This doesn't sounds like their original plan to infect all the youth by locking down the vulnerable and letting the youth out. That is the plan to which I was referring. As you know the UK is on total lockdown for 3 weeks [1] (2) What is described in this post is what everyone else is doing, keeping the vulnerable inside and providing services such as prescription delivery and at least helping coordinate food delivery. ("Please visit gov.uk/coronavirus-extremely-vulnerable to register for the support that you need. This includes help with food, shopping deliveries and additional care you might need. The government is helping pharmacies to deliver prescriptions. Prescriptions will continue to cover the same length of time as usual.") (3) It specifically says that everyone in a risk category is getting a letter by March 29th ("The NHS in England is directly contacting people with these conditions to provide further advice.") I don't really know what you're asking for, or what you think is factually incorrect.
