Vulnerability Series 1-7
At the start of lockdown, March 2020, I received an NHS Shelter in Place order assigning me to the category of 'Vulnerable Person' generated from a computer miscalculation of old medical data. It got me thinking of the levels of vulnerability we transit in daily life and what it means to be somewhat assailable.
