A member asked:
Is rheumatoid arthritis a condition that makes you more likely to die of novel coronavirus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not known: To my knowledge there is no increased risk of covid-19 severity due to RA. High blood pressure and diabetes are definitely linked and a large percentage of symptomatic covid patients have these underlying issues.
