Question: I have immune deficiencies, what do I need to know about the virus?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: If You Are Immunocompromised, Protect Yourself From COVID-19
section_headers: Risk of Severe Illness from COVID- 19
section_content: People with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of getting severely
sick from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. They may also remain
infectious for a longer period of time than others with COVID-19, but we
cannot confirm this until we learn more about this new virus.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer lets requester know that they are at higher risk due to their immune system issues but gives no guidance about what to do about it.
The information was useful, but I think there could have been more information included.  It was very general but was in the scope of the question.

Additional Information for Specific Conditions & Risk Factors
If you have cancer or have survived cancer
If you have cancer now or had cancer in the past, you might need to take
special steps to protect your health:

Chemotherapy is an important tool to treat cancer. Although some types of chemotherapy can weaken the immune system, cancer patients and survivors should continue to take their chemotherapy as directed by their doctor.
Do not change your cancer treatment plan without discussing it with your doctor.
Watch out for fever. Take your temperature any time you feel warm, flushed, chilled, very fatigued, or not well. Call your doctor right away if you have a temperature of 100.4ºF (38ºC) or higher.
Know the signs and symptoms of infection . Infection during the course of cancer treatment can be very serious. Call your doctor right away if you notice any of the signs and symptoms of an infection.


Find out from your doctor when your white blood cell count is likely to the be the lowest, since this is when you’re most at risk for infection. 
If you have to go to the emergency room, tell the person checking you in that you are a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy. Fever during chemotherapy treatment is a medical emergency and you should be seen quickly.


Discuss any concerns about your chemotherapy or other cancer treatments with your oncologist and primary healthcare provider.

If you have had a bone marrow transplant, solid organ transplant, or stem
cells for cancer treatment
If you take medications that weaken your immune system, called
immunosuppressant medications:

Do not change or stop taking medicines without talking to your doctor. Stopping or changing medicine can cause serious health problems.

If you were born with immune deficiencies
Some people are born with or develop immune deficiencies due to genetics.
Examples include common variable immune deficiency, selective IgA deficiency,
severe combined immunodeficiency, chronic granulomatous disease, and
complement deficiencies.

If you take medicines to help boost your immune system, do not change or stop them without talking to your doctor.

If you have HIV
The risk of serious illness from COVID-19 for people with HIV is not yet
known. If you have HIV and a low CD4 cell count or are not on HIV treatment,
you might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

Do not change or stop taking medicines without talking to your doctor. Stopping or changing medicine can cause serious health problems.
For more details, see CDC’s Information about COVID for people with HIV.

If you are using oral or intravenous corticosteroids or other medicines
that lower your immune system’s response
Some medical conditions are treated with medications that can weaken the
immune system; these medicines are called immunosuppressants. Common medical
conditions that are sometimes treated with immunosuppressants include
rheumatoid arthritis,
lupus, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Do not change or stop taking medicines without talking to your doctor. Stopping or changing medicine can cause serious health problems.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
A variety of immune problems are addressed here.  I'm sure that they don't overlap with every problem out there.  Someone looking up this question would likely find some of the information useful though.
Immune deficiencies are called out specifically in the third section but since the question is vague and these immune issues could be caused by many things, answer helpfully provides additional guidance for other issues that may cause the immune system to be compromised if applicable.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Gives generally good advice in the first section but that advice could be applied to many different scenarios and not just those who are immuno-compromised. Additional information regarding emotional health and anxiety are a nice touch.
This answer addresses mental and emotional health.  The question was about people with compromised immune systems.
