“So does this mean I am in constant mode of a cytokine storm or a storm that is about to hit”

No. A cytokine storm is a massive immune system over-reaction that can damage major organs or even kill you.

“A considerable number of inflammatory cytokines have been shown to be elevated in lesional psoriasis skin”

And we know that some of the treatments being tried for Wuhan are anti inflammatory.

So anyone who has psoriasis and not on medication could be at higher risk

A small psoriasis patch is the product of a cytokine storm. It doesn't have to be massive.
