covid and asthma (+/-)

Good: Asthma alone doesn’t seem to increase your risk of Covid-19 hitting so bad you need to be hospitalized.

Bad: Other co-morbidities might.

Weird: Stress/exercise-induced asthma does seem to increase your risk of a severe case…but allergy-induced asthma doesn’t. In fact, some researchers are speculating that allergies might reduce ACE2 expression and actually *protect* from infection! (Don’t worry, I won’t rely on that even if it pans out.)
