A member asked:
Does asthma make you high risk covid-19?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asthma is a disease with tremendous variability in intensity from so mild you are not aware to so severe you survive on 3 meds daily. In general the average asthma sufferer was considered at higher risk of the original Covid & delta strains. Subsequent strains are likely to have some increased risk, but their target tissues & expression varies with each patient.
