page_title: Clinical Questions about COVID-19: Questions and Answers
section_headers: Testing, Diagnosis, and Notification
If a patient tests positive for another respiratory virus, should that exclude SARS-CoV-2 as a cause of illness?
section_content: Patients can be infected with more than one virus at the same time.
Coinfections with other respiratory viruses in people with COVID-19 have been
reported. Therefore, identifying infection with one respiratory virus does not
exclude SARS-CoV-2 virus infection.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Doesn't mention asthma at all, instead focusing on coinfection with other viruses.
The answer explains that people can have more than a single virus at one time with one being a respiratory virus, but does not talk specifically with asthma.

section_headers: Patients with Asthma
If I have patients with asthma, do I need to make any changes to their daily asthma preventive management regimens to reduce their risk of getting sick with COVID-19?
section_content: People with moderate to severe asthma , particularly if not well
controlled, might be at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19.
Based on what we currently know about COVID-19, the selection of therapeutic
options through guideline-recommended treatment of asthma has not been
affected. National asthma guidelinesexternal
icon are available. Continuation of inhaled corticosteroids
is particularly important for patients already using these medications because
there is no evidence of increased risk of COVID-19 morbidity with use of
inhaled corticosteroids and an abundance of data showing reduced risk of
asthma exacerbation with maintenance of asthma controller therapy.
Patients with asthma but without symptoms or a diagnosis of COVID-19 should
continue any required nebulizer treatments.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Has detailed information about the additional risk to asthma patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The answer states that people with asthma may be at a higher risk but then goes on to explain what people with asthma should do if exposed to COVID-19 and information on the death rate in patients with asthma.

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: People with Moderate to Severe Asthma
section_headers: Risk of Severe Illness from COVID-19
section_content: People with moderate to severe asthma may be at higher risk of getting very
sick from COVID-19. COVID-19 can affect your respiratory tract (nose, throat,
lungs), cause an asthma attack, and possibly lead to pneumonia and acute
respiratory disease.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Clearly says that asthma is a risk factor for severe symptoms of COVID-19.
Not only does it directly answer the question by stating people with moderate to severe asthma may be at higher risk but the answer also goes on to explain exactly the organs in which COVID-19 affects and the adverse reactions it causes.
