asthmatics with concerns about covid19: I very much recommend calling 0300 222 5800 and speaking to one of the asthma nurses at asthmauk. i did it yesterday and we talked through my asthma history, what I should be doing (in terms of isolating etc), and what i should ask my GP for - if anything. it was very reassuring.
in my case i am to request a peak flow meter and a course of oral steroids from my GP, the peak flow meter will indicate any drop in performance should i get sick. if my scores to 60% of my usual score then i am to crack open the steroids on top of my usual blue/brown lungbag combo. every case is different, though and 'asthma' covers a broad specturm so i would urge everyone who is worried to seek advice specific to them.
