A member asked:
My sister was recently diagnosed with covid 19. shes 18 but also an asthmatic and gets sick often and bad. what are her chances?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19: Her age is a positive. The possible increased risk is related to the severity of her asthma and how well controlled it is. It is only related to how my other underlying health problems she has. The people who are really at significant risk are 60 years old (or older) and have multiple risk factors. I can't tell you a number for her odds of having a more severe infection
