If you’re also clinically vulnerable to covid, are also still shielding, or are a medical professional, could you please interact with this?
I need to know I’m not absolutely losing it.

I’m still shielding, I’m high risk through multiple different chronic illnesses and conditions. The people closest to me have decided I’m being paranoid and have a totally skewed perception of risk.
I try telling them they’re wrong, and provide figures etc. They tell me I’m wrong in response.
Please, I’m not alone right? Others are still doing this too? I know, IN MY BONES, I’m not wrong. But I could do with the reminder about now.
If it helps for context I’m UK based, in Scotland. And I’m not in a position where I can cut ties.
Honestly this feels worse than the beginning of the pandemic. Vulnerable people have been totally abandoned. And on top of that we’re made to feel ridiculous for caring.
HOW is it meant to be magically safer for me now that there’s no testing, no precautions, and nobody gives a shit? I truly don’t understand. I’m not wrong.
