COVID concersn: Please sit down and have a serious talk with your cardiologist and/ or primary care provider. Just your age alone puts you at risk. Some cardiac conditions can increase risk for poor out-come such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, dilated cardiomyopathies, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, congenital cyanotic heart dz, some valvular defects & pulmonary hypertension.
