Raise vulnerable age to at least 75.

I am a healthy 73 year old. I walk st least 3 miles every day. I don't remember when I last had a cold or any other ailment.
Why should I be in the same category as a frail 95 year old?

Why the contribution is important

This is age discrimination.

I am a health 71-year-old but I know that if I catch the virus my chances of surviving are considerably reduced due to the immune system deteriorating with age. I will continue to socially isolate until such time as I have had a vaccination against Covid-19, irrespective of changes in government/health advice.

No age related rules please. Us oldies have common sense in abundance. I am 76 and very fit . I would go to prison before being victimised on grounds of age.

Agree completely with above - though I do believe there should be no compulsory age discrimination at all .People need to decide for themselves where they fit.
