COVID 19 variable: The presentations of COVID 19 infection have been variable. We are learning more about the disease. Patients with significant pulmonary disease of any cause are at increased risk . Patients with milder forms are at lower risk . Continue the prednisone and medications as prescribed. Stay at home, rest, monitor for changes in your baseline symptoms. Watch for signs of fever, cough, dyspnea.
