It was suggested in the general 'Coronavirus Worries' thread that we start a thread for people with asthma, so here it is.
I'm a 39 year old Swiss Chicken and have had relatively uncomplicated, well-controlled asthma all my life.
I also have HA (a lot better after a year of therapy) and this has been triggering for me. Especially as I'm now considered
to be a 'risk patient'. Like any HA sufferer, I am looking for reassurance. Maybe we can help each other with a bit of emotional
support from fellow asthmatics.
I found two interesting articles on the topic:
The German society of lung specialists published an article stating that asthma that is being treated and under control is nothing to worry about. Supposedly, our risk of a severe outcome is as low as that of non-asthmatics.
This, if you want to put it through Google Translate:

This article is also reassuring:
