I would like to know why if you have are under the age of 65, have type 1 or 2 diabetes and are insulin dependent, so classed as vulnerable, why has the government not included us on the list for being able to get a coronavirus test if we develop symptoms?
 
Cos they haven't got enough tests and facilities for interpreting thousands and thousands of tests repeatedly, for everybody. So they draw the line somewhere.
 
to exclude people under 65 not working is unfair and nothing but discrimination. if we are all in it together then everyone should be entitled to be tested no matter what status. sadly the latter is and has been going on for 10 years, acts of unfairness towards certain groups.
