I am curious about how this one in particular affects asthmatics.

Ditto that..if I somehow manage to contract this, my odds as someone recently diagnosed with Asthma are not good. I have a hard enough time with Bronchitis. I can't imagine what COVID-19 will do to those with Asthma or a similar existing condition.

Other than asthma and allergies our oldest is healthy. He cooks once a week and is carefully plans his carbs, proteins and fats. He hasn’t eaten a sugar in about two years. He is a college athlete in great shape so he has that going for him. About 10 years ago he got influenza-everyone in the family but me got it. It was like dominoes as they fell ill. He was the most sick; at one point he literally couldn’t lift his head off the pillow despite straining mightily to do so. His allergist took it very seriously and put him on antivirals and antibiotics so he didn’t have to fight a secondary infection. With that help he recovered more quickly than the others.

Our other kiddo with asthma has it less severely but is only nine.
