If there 's one question about coronavirus that we ask more than any other , it 's surely `` What is my risk ? ''
Not only `` What 's my risk of catching the virus '' , but , were that to happen , `` What 's my risk of falling seriously ill ?
Of being taken to hospital ?
Of dying ? ''

Amy , 21 , student .
High risk of catching/spreading Covid , low risk of being seriously ill with it Amy lives with five other students in her university accommodation in Cardiff and likes to meet up with friends to study and socialise .
Her chance of catching Covid goes up the more she , and her housemates , mix with others , unless they can keep a safe distance .

This is why we are told to wear face coverings in crowded places and regularly wash our hands to reduce the spread .
Not everyone Amy meets will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ means being within 1m of someone , or up to 2m for more than 15 minutes , according to NHS Test and Trace .

Merlande worries about infecting her patients , colleagues and family , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ measures , such as hand washing , and wearing protective equipment at work , if needed , can break chains of transmission .

Some risks , such as your age , you ca n't change .
But there are things you can do to minimise your risk of catching and getting very sick with the virus :

Covid risk: 3 people, 3 very different Covid risks. What's yours? Published 23 November 2020
If there's one question about coronavirus that we ask more than any other, it's surely "What is my risk?"
Not only "What's my risk of catching the virus", but, were that to happen, "What's my risk of falling seriously ill? Of being taken to hospital? Of dying?"
Meet, Amy, Merlande and John: three people with very different levels of risk. By understanding more about what they should consider, as they seek answers to these questions, each of us can get a better idea of our own risk - and the risk we pose to others.
Amy, 21, student. High risk of catching/spreading Covid, low risk of being seriously ill with it
Amy lives with five other students in her university accommodation in Cardiff and likes to meet up with friends to study and socialise. Her chance of catching Covid goes up the more she, and her housemates, mix with others, unless they can keep a safe distance. That's because Covid is transmitted by close contact with someone who has the virus. A person can have no symptoms but still be able to spread it.
The virus is carried in spit droplets that are - often imperceptibly - propelled into the air we breathe when people talk or cough. And they can land on surfaces people touch, which is important for Amy who works in a bar some evenings, collecting dirty glasses. This is why we are told to wear face coverings in crowded places and regularly wash our hands to reduce the spread.
Image caption, Infected droplets are the major route of transmission, but airborne spread is possible too
Not everyone Amy meets will have coronavirus. Close or risky contact means being within 1m of someone, or up to 2m for more than 15 minutes, according to NHS Test and Trace. Being in a poorly ventilated, enclosed, crowded space is far riskier than outdoors.
Amy's risk of coming into contact with Covid will be higher if there is more of the virus circulating where she lives or visits.
Amy has asthma, but it's well-controlled and doesn't mean she would get very sick if she caught Covid. Most young people will have mild or no symptoms. But some young, fit people have become critically ill and died. Some who recover from even a mild bout develop longer term complications, known as long Covid.
Even those who may have had coronavirus already, won't necessarily be immune. So there is a chance they could still catch it, spread it and get sick.
Tip: Check your local infection rate and Covid alert level (BBC News has postcode look-ups for cases in your area, and the rules where you live). The level in your area will dictate restrictions and what you are allowed to do. And remember:
Duration - the longer you are close to someone who could be infectious, the higher the risk
Environment - the risk is lower outdoors, or in a well ventilated area
Direction - the risk is lower if you are not face-on with an infectious person
Merlande, 52, nurse. High risk of catching/spreading, medium risk of being seriously ill
Merlande works part-time on a medical ward at her local hospital in Bradford, commutes by bus and looks after her grandchild on some of her days off. She lives with her husband, Lester - a taxi driver.
Should she catch coronavirus, Merlande's age and ethnicity put her at medium risk of developing complications. People from black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds are disproportionately affected by coronavirus, linked to where they live and the jobs they do.
Her employer has done a risk assessment to keep Merlande as safe as possible in the workplace. Her and Lester's "people facing" occupations and childcare commitments increase their chance of encountering coronavirus, compared with, for example, someone who lives alone, works from home - no commute on public transport - and has no young children in their life.
Merlande worries about infecting her patients, colleagues and family, as well as catching Covid herself. Simple measures, such as hand washing, and wearing protective equipment at work, if needed, can break chains of transmission.
Tip: Risks are additive. Think about what you might want to cut back on or change. Risk is an individual thing and can change - you need to weigh it for yourself and also think about how your actions might increase risk for others. This tool was developed for doctors to help them judge their own risk. This one, used by NHS workers in Scotland, calculates a person's 'Covid age' based on clinical vulnerability, while this one, for the public, estimates risk of death and how Covid might increase it.
John, 75, retired teacher. Low risk of catching/spreading, high risk of being seriously ill
John lives alone in a retirement flat in Torquay. He's formed a bubble with his son, who he sees once or twice a week. John's overweight and has a heart condition, which, along with his age, makes him high risk if he catches coronavirus. But he wasn't one of the people in the "extremely vulnerable group" who were advised to shield back in the spring.
In general, the chance of getting severely ill with Covid goes up with age - it's the biggest risk factor. Being male also increases John's risk. While people of any age can need hospital treatment, most of the severe cases have been among the over 75s with existing health problems.
Few people - between one and three in every hundred diagnosed with Covid - need hospital care, according to a study in the spring. Of those, up to a fifth needed intensive care treatment. About half of those died.
But the real risks could be even lower because there are lots of undiagnosed people who never develop symptoms. Doctors also now have a better understanding of the disease and how to treat it. So survival chances are improving.
So, most people do recover from coronavirus, even if they get seriously sick.
Image caption, The research paper, published in July, used data from Belgium, Geneva, Spain, Sweden, the US, Iceland, New Zealand and the Republic of Korea
Dr Alex Freeman, of the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication in Cambridge, recognises the difficulty we've all had calculating risk.
"Now we have enough data... it will help us a lot as we all choose what to do and what to avoid doing."
John is careful about who he meets, and tries to limit his social contacts. His son does most of his food shopping and picks up any medicines. John has GP check-ups over the phone, but knows that he can still see a doctor face-to-face if he needs to, and should attend any planned hospital appointments. His non-Covid health risks have not gone away.
Medics worry some people are delaying seeking help, either because they don't want to overload the health system or fear catching the virus while there.
Being at higher risk from coronavirus, John's also more at risk of problems from flu. People can catch flu and Covid at the same time, with serious consequences. But the more he shuts himself away to avoid the virus, the more he risks the mental health harms of not seeing friends and family.
John's son gave him a smartphone to stay in touch.
Tip: Get a flu jab this winter, especially if you, like John, belong to one of the high risk groups eligible for a free one on the NHS. It won't stop coronavirus, but can help protect you against winter flu. There are things that could help if you are feeling lonely. Taking care of your mind as well as your body is really important.
What about our own risk?
Some risks, such as your age, you can't change. But there are things you can do to minimise your risk of catching and getting very sick with the virus:
Maintain a healthy weight and stay as physically fit as you can
Limit the number of people you come into contact with, eg avoid peak travel
Sit/stand side-by-side or behind other people, rather than facing them
Meet people outdoors, rather than indoors
Keep interactions brief
Wear a face covering on public transport, in shops or crowded indoor places
Increase ventilation indoors if you have visitors - open a window
Avoid loud talking or singing with others
And remember: hands, face, space.

Last updated on .From the section Premier League Theo Walcott said he `` feels like a kid again '' after scoring his first goal since rejoining Southampton in their Premier League draw at Wolves .
And he put Ralph Hasenhuttl 's side ahead in the 58th minute at Molineux on Monday , turning in Che Adams ' cross .

Walcott and Southampton , who are now unbeaten in their past seven matches , may have enjoyed an even more memorable evening had the forward converted a glorious opportunity to make it 2-0 .
But a draw was no more than Wolves - who move up three places to ninth - deserved for a much-improved attacking display in the closing stages .
• None Name the Premier League players who played every minute for 71 games or more ?
With top scorer Danny Ings out with a knee injury , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Southampton has fallen upon Adams and Walcott .
There are signs that Walcott , whose first taste of senior football came as a 16-year-old against Wolves , is starting to relish being back on familiar ground .
Excellent in Southampton 's last outing - a 2-0 win over Newcastle - he took centre stage at Molineux .
He had already threatened to score from Stuart Armstrong 's clever pass , before he reacted quickly to turn in Adams ' driven cross and put his side in front .
It was his first goal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FA Cup on 7 January 2006 - before he left for Arsenal - and his celebration appeared to be a mixture of elation and relief .
However , his emotions were also on display when he appeared angry with himself for failing to make the score 2-0 from Adams ' fine pass .
With only goalkeeper Rui Patricio to beat he seemed to be put off by a chasing defender and screwed his shot wide .
With captain Conor Coady 's ever-present run of 84 Premier League games coming to an end - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into contact with someone with Covid-19 - Wolves deployed an unfamiliar flat back four .
The centre-back partnership of Max Kilman and Willy Boly provided Nuno Espirito Santo 's side with a relatively solid base as the visitors initially controlled proceedings .
They were also well shielded by Ruben Neves and Leander Dendoncker , the former making the most clearances ( four ) and the latter covering the most ground of any home player ( 11.12km ) .
But for all those admirable qualities , there was a distinct lack of incisiveness to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
While Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy did well to save parry Nelson Semedo 's long-range effort and Dendoncker 's follow-up attempt early on , he was largely untroubled until the hosts had to respond to falling behind .

And it was his stinging drive that led to the equaliser , while goalscorer Neto and Daniel Podence all carved out good openings in the second period @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wolves fans is likely to be that their charge came too late .
'The way he works for the team is amazing ' - what they said Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl to BBC Sport : `` We had chances , they had chances .

`` They are a really good side with quality .
It 's tough to defend for 90 minutes - you can not play without giving them chances .

On Theo Walcott : `` It was a good first goal for him .
He 's a little unhappy he did n't make the second one and that he could n't be the match-winner .

Last updated on .From the section Premier League
Theo Walcott's opener was his first league goal for Southampton since scoring in a 1-0 victory over Luton Town 14 years and 347 days ago
Theo Walcott said he "feels like a kid again" after scoring his first goal since rejoining Southampton in their Premier League draw at Wolves.
Walcott, 31, returned to Saints on a season-long loan from Everton in October after leaving the club for Arsenal as a 16-year-old in 2006.
And he put Ralph Hasenhuttl's side ahead in the 58th minute at Molineux on Monday, turning in Che Adams' cross.
However, it was not enough to earn a victory that would have moved Saints to third in the table because Pedro Neto levelled with 15 minutes left, following up after Raul Jiminez's shot had come back off the post.
Southampton are still fifth, though, and Walcott is keen to help them "achieve things this season".
"I will do a job whatever. I feel like the manager has the trust in me," he said.
"I do not [remember my last Saints league goal]. The smile on my face says it all. The club are close to my heart.
"I feel like a kid again - I feel very fit. It means a lot to play at the highest level for so long. I just love playing football."
Walcott and Southampton, who are now unbeaten in their past seven matches, may have enjoyed an even more memorable evening had the forward converted a glorious opportunity to make it 2-0.
But a draw was no more than Wolves - who move up three places to ninth - deserved for a much-improved attacking display in the closing stages.
Walcott takes centre stage
With top scorer Danny Ings out with a knee injury, the burden of replacing his goals at Southampton has fallen upon Adams and Walcott.
There are signs that Walcott, whose first taste of senior football came as a 16-year-old against Wolves, is starting to relish being back on familiar ground.
Excellent in Southampton's last outing - a 2-0 win over Newcastle - he took centre stage at Molineux. He had already threatened to score from Stuart Armstrong's clever pass, before he reacted quickly to turn in Adams' driven cross and put his side in front.
It was his first goal for the club since scoring in the FA Cup on 7 January 2006 - before he left for Arsenal - and his celebration appeared to be a mixture of elation and relief.
However, his emotions were also on display when he appeared angry with himself for failing to make the score 2-0 from Adams' fine pass.
With only goalkeeper Rui Patricio to beat he seemed to be put off by a chasing defender and screwed his shot wide.
Hasenhuttl praises Walcott 'energy'
Wolves frustrate despite comeback
With captain Conor Coady's ever-present run of 84 Premier League games coming to an end - the defender is in isolation after coming into contact with someone with Covid-19 - Wolves deployed an unfamiliar flat back four.
The centre-back partnership of Max Kilman and Willy Boly provided Nuno Espirito Santo's side with a relatively solid base as the visitors initially controlled proceedings.
They were also well shielded by Ruben Neves and Leander Dendoncker, the former making the most clearances (four) and the latter covering the most ground of any home player (11.12km).
But for all those admirable qualities, there was a distinct lack of incisiveness to their attacking play until they fell behind.
While Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy did well to save parry Nelson Semedo's long-range effort and Dendoncker's follow-up attempt early on, he was largely untroubled until the hosts had to respond to falling behind.
Jimenez, who had been isolated and had the lowest number of touches of any outfield home player to start the game, slowly became more involved.
And it was his stinging drive that led to the equaliser, while goalscorer Neto and Daniel Podence all carved out good openings in the second period.
The biggest frustration for Nuno and Wolves fans is likely to be that their charge came too late.
Nuno proud of 'strong reaction' from Wolves
'The way he works for the team is amazing' - what they said
Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl to BBC Sport: "We had chances, they had chances. We had a chance for 2-0. When you score it's tough for them to come back.
"They are a really good side with quality. It's tough to defend for 90 minutes - you cannot play without giving them chances. I'm proud of the team. That was one of our most intense performances of the season."
On Theo Walcott: "It was a good first goal for him. He's a little unhappy he didn't make the second one and that he couldn't be the match-winner. The way he works for the team is amazing. As a number 10 or a striker you can trust him.
"He's an experienced guy who comes back to the club where he grew up. It means something for him. Maybe that's why he invests so much. You know you have to do that in our team."
Wolves boss Nuno to BBC Sport: "It was a good game. Both teams played with high tempo.
"They have very good players and a very good manager. We matched them. We finished the game on the front foot. I'm very proud of the reaction to the goal."
On whether there was a foul in the build-up to Southampton's goal: "I think so. After that it was about reacting to that incident, trying to get our mind off the referee's decision and focus on the game. The boys did that. It was a strong reaction. We finished the game well, creating chances. Let's go again."
On fans coming back: "We all wish it was tomorrow. We have enormous desire to have the fans back. It's all about them. Let's try our best to bring them back."
Saints extend unbeaten run - the stats
Wolves have lost just one of their past seven home Premier League games.
Southampton are unbeaten in seven league games, last going longer without defeat in the competition in November 2013.
Since the start of last season, Wolves have failed to score in the first half of 34 Premier League games, more than any other side.
Wolves striker Jimenez made his 85th consecutive appearance in the Premier League, the joint-longest current run in the competition (level with Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel).
Adams has been directly involved in six goals in his past seven league games for Southampton (three goals, three assists), as many goal involvements as he managed in his 32 appearances before that for Saints.
Two of Neto's five Premier League goals for Wolves have come against Southampton, while only Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Steven Fletcher (five each) have netted more goals as a substitute for the club in the competition than the Portuguese (two).
What's next?
Wolves travel to Arsenal for their next Premier League game on Sunday, 29 November (19:15 GMT), while Southampton host Manchester United earlier on the same day (14:00).

Biden cabinet: John Kerry named climate envoy as inner circle get key posts Published 24 November 2020
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, John Kerry was joined by his granddaughter when he signed the Paris climate agreement in 2016
US President-elect Joe Biden is to nominate one of the leading architects of the Paris climate agreement as his climate envoy.
Ex-US Secretary of State John Kerry was one of several named for top positions by the Biden transition team on Monday.
It marks a big break with the climate policy under the Trump administration as Mr Biden makes good on his campaign pledge to tackle climate change.
Other key picks include long-time aide Antony Blinken as secretary of state.
The nomination comes as calls are growing for President Donald Trump to concede the election.
He has made unsubstantiated claims of electoral fraud and is continuing to pursue legal challenges over the result.
While Mr Trump has not conceded, he has however agreed to allow the formal transition process to begin, to allow Mr Biden to prepare to take office.
Mr Biden is projected to beat President Trump by 306 votes to 232 when the US electoral college meets to formally confirm the winner on 14 December. This is far above the 270 votes he needs.
In a statement following the cabinet announcement on Monday, Mr Biden said: "I need a team ready on day one to help me reclaim America's seat at the head of the table, rally the world to meet the biggest challenges we face, and advance our security, prosperity, and values. This is the crux of that team."
Some of the positions require confirmation in the US Senate.
Who is John Kerry and what will he do?
Mr Kerry was chosen for the role of special presidential envoy for climate.
The Biden transition team said the position would see him "fight climate change full-time". He is also set to be the first official dedicated to climate change to sit on the National Security Council.
Mr Kerry signed the Paris climate agreement on behalf of the US in 2016. The deal committed countries to working to limit the global temperature rise.
Under Mr Trump, the US recently became the first country to formally withdraw from the agreement. But Mr Biden has said he plans to rejoin the accord as soon as possible.

In 2019, Mr Kerry launched a coalition of world leaders and celebrities - dubbed World War Zero - to call for climate change action and net zero carbon emissions.
Following news of his new role on Monday, he tweeted: "America will soon have a government that treats the climate crisis as the urgent national security threat it is."
Mr Kerry previously served as secretary of state during Barack Obama's second term as president. A veteran Democratic politician, he lost to incumbent Republican George W Bush in the 2004 presidential election.
He was a senator for 28 years and chairman of the foreign relations committee.
He endorsed Mr Biden to be the Democratic Party's candidate in the 2020 race and joined him on the campaign trail.
What about the other roles?
Mr Blinken was nominated as secretary of state - the most important foreign policy position. The 58-year-old was deputy secretary of state and deputy national security adviser during the Obama administration, in which Mr Biden served as vice-president.

He is expected to manage a Biden foreign policy agenda that will emphasise re-engaging with Western allies.

Avril Haines was nominated as the first female director of national intelligence. Ms Haines is a former deputy director of the CIA and deputy national security adviser.
Alejandro Mayorkas was the first Latino nominated to serve as secretary of homeland security. He previously served as deputy secretary of homeland security under President Obama.
Jake Sullivan was named White House national security adviser. Mr Sullivan served as Mr Biden's national security adviser during Mr Obama's second term.
Long-time diplomat Linda Thomas-Greenfield was nominated US ambassador to the UN. She also served under President Obama, including as assistant secretary of state for African affairs between 2013 and 2017.
Biden projects stability and familiarity
In his choice of a national security team, Joe Biden has signalled that the US is resuming its conventional international role, after four turbulent years of Donald Trump's America First.
He's appointing Obama administration veterans to top positions and elevating a long-serving career diplomat sidelined by the Trump administration.
His pick for secretary of state, Anthony Blinken, is an advocate of global alliances. Mr Blinken will lead the charge to re-establish ties with allies and rejoin agreements and institutions rejected by Trump. And there's no doubt that he'll be speaking for the man in the White House: Mr Blinken has advised Biden on foreign policy for so long he's been described as an alter ego.
Another familiar face is former Secretary of State John Kerry. The president-elect's decision to give him a new cabinet-level position as climate envoy shows he's treating the issue as a significant national security threat.
But even with the old team this is not going to be Obama 2.0: the landscape has shifted in both America and the world during the last four years. Still, Mr Biden is projecting stability and familiarity, and international leaders know what they will be getting
What about the calls for Trump to concede?
Donald Trump has now accepted that a formal transition should begin for President-elect Joe Biden to take office.
But the president vowed to keep contesting his election defeat and has been pursuing so-far fruitless legal challenges in several states to try to overturn his loss.
His latest legal setback came on Saturday when a judge dismissed his attempt to have millions of postal votes in Pennsylvania invalidated.
It comes as calls are growing for him to accept defeat.
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a prominent Trump ally, called the president's legal team a "national embarrassment".
"I have been a supporter of the president's. I voted for him twice. But elections have consequences, and we cannot continue to act as if something happened here that didn't happen," he told ABC.
High-profile Trump supporter Stephen Schwarzman, the CEO of investment company Blackstone, also said it was time for Mr Trump to accept he lost.
"Like many in the business community, I am ready to help President-elect Biden and his team as they confront the significant challenges of rebuilding our post-Covid economy," he said in a statement reported by US media.

A big challenge is going to be persuading foreign audiences, even partners and allies, that the US is credible in terms of its staying power - that "America is back" as the president-elect has said. This will be the second 180-degree shift in foreign policy in the past four years. The incoming administration has a determination to restore the frayed alliances that the US has relied on for more than seven decades. But they have their work cut out for them.

'It was in football he found his peace' - analysis
South American football writer Tim Vickery
He was an everyman Argentine, who lived out a national fantasy with the way he scored his two goals in that 1986 quarter-final win over England.
Scoring those goals, against that opponent, turned Maradona almost into a deity in the eyes of some of his compatriots - with disastrous consequences. Living the aftermath was not easy.
Without the discipline of football, the second half of his life was a chaotic affair.
But it was in football that he seemed to find his peace. As a fan he would turn up at the stadium of his beloved Boca Juniors, take off his shirt, swirl it around his head and lead the chanting.
For many his spontaneity and fallibility were part of the appeal.
His admirers thrived on the way he would fall down only to get back up again. It humanised a figure whose epic life was as mazy as one of his left-footed dribbles.
