I shan't be going out at all whilst I have symptoms!
I have FFP2 masks, as discussed on another thread. My daughter did not give them to me, she recommended a particular supplier as their masks were bright colours.
I always carry at least one with me, but I don't always wear one, depending on the circumstances.
I was at Guys accompanying someone else to an important appointment. It didn't feel at all appropriate either to wear a mask or to ask the consultant to. It was the last thing on my mind.
I appreciate your concern, but it feels like I am getting my hand slapped like a naughty child!
Just checked on the NHS app, and I had the RSV jab last year.
It provides protection for more than one year apparently, so you aren't called to have it every year
Whatever it is, please wear a correct mask when you go out so you don’t get anything and if you already have something then you won’t pass it, whatever it is. You said you had some masks that your daughter had given you a while ago so it sounds like you weren’t wearing one. Ask any medics/clinicians treating you to also put on a mask. They will if you ask them.
There is a vaccine against RSV, but also one against pneumonia; I've had both. But maybe you've only had one. The pneumonia was offered to me several years before RSV, which I think was only last year. Worth checking what you have had.
