Is there any danger for someone who was diagnosed with restrictive lung disease (due to scoliosis) and contracting coronavirus? what are possible scenarios if they were to test positive?

COVID 19.: Restrictive lung disease can place you at increased risk for having more severe illness due to COVDI 19. REF: https://www.marfan.org/about-us/news/2020/04/07/covid-19-high-risk-patients-and-ventilators#.Xu1PwBdKiM8. However, this does automatically mean that you will have a bad outcome if infected.
