Hard to speculate. : Recent antibody studies from Stanford & USC suggest the actual infection rate in those California areas were 50 X the number known from swab tests.That suggests the case fatality rate is below 1%. Most of these people had few or minor symptoms. Controlled asthma has to date not been a significant factor in the more serious cases. How your other health issues would place you in the mix is unknown.
