Patients with a blood cancer or a blood disorder are more vulnerable to COVID-19, so student Sharne Wood was too afraid to go out.
COVID-19: Cases of Indian coronavirus variant in UK rise by 5,472 since last week to more than 12,000Patients with a blood cancer or a blood disorder are immunocompromised and more vulnerable to COVID-19, with studies finding 34% of blood cancer patients who contracted the virus did not survive.
As important as that has of course been, people like me with medical conditions that we live with each and every day are still suffering - and now, even more so, as we're left without the advice and support we really need and that ultimately, we've been used to being able to access.Blood disorders can be life-threatening, and to feel so abandoned and deprived of the medical support you often so desperately need in a time of crisis is heartbreaking, and truly terrifying.
You don't feel like going outside because you're just so worried about your health and you don't know when you'll feel safe again. I have multiple concerns about that too; balancing out whether my health or my education comes first is something I shouldn't have to do as an 18-year-old girl about to embark on the life ahead of her.
