Controlled afib & htn, otherwise healthy and fit. exercise regularly. boosted moderna 10/27. is it possible to have an asymptomatic or mild case of covid if infected or would it almost certainly be severe because of afib?

Yes, you still can get COVID-19 as vaccine is not 100% But it will be mild and manageable. And no, atrial fibrillation does not make you more susceptible, it is immune comptonization that makes you more susceptible. If you are concern, then after coming home just inhale steam from nose and mouth for two minutes as viral protein gets denatured and cannot sustain steam's temp.
