COVID concerns.: The real issue is how well is your asthma currently controlled. If poorly controlled you need to address that right away. This certainly does not mean that you will die. You are 19 years old. The death rate at your age is VERY LOW. Sick family members should stay in one part of the house (with a door). If windows can be opened for ventilation that would be great. Wear masks & social distance.

Have severe allergies, severe asthma, and anxiety. All mimic covid symptoms. Is there a tell-tale symptom that can rule out the first three so I know if I should contact my doctor about possible covid infection. Don't want to go to Dr if unnecessary?
