Psoriasis 40 years, most treatments tried over this time, currently on biologics (stelara) as nothing else work.
Guys, not sure if this will help but my clinic sent this to patients yesterday.

We are actively reviewing your case and we will be in touch if we identify you as an extremely vulnerable patient. If you have already received advice to shield please follow this until otherwise advised. Please do not contact us regarding your risk, we will be in contact with you.
