COVID-19 is a coronavirus-caused respiratory illness. This implies it might have an impact on your lungs, throat, and nose. Infection with the virus might result in an asthma attack, pneumonia, or other serious lung illness in those who have asthma. There are no studies that look at the effect of COVID-19 on people without any previous conditions but evidence from other viruses shows that those with asthma are at a greater risk of getting very sick if they get infected. In addition to being vulnerable to developing severe symptoms of their own, those with asthma are at increased risk of dying from COVID-19. People with asthma have more frequent attacks caused by viral infections such as the flu and more severe attacks of other types. The most powerful predictor of how a person will respond to COVID-19 is how they responded to another virus called "flutie." From what we know about flutie, people who got sick with it and recovered show no long-term effects of the infection. However, about 15% of people with flutie suffered some form of long-term damage. People with asthma are at increased risk for more serious complications from COVID-19 because of several factors. First, people with asthma already have weakened immune systems so they're more likely to become ill or die from COVID-19. Also, people with asthma often need daily medications to stay healthy and relieve symptoms.
