Asthma and Corona virus by

[colleenc]

I have asthma and diabetes and I am in my 60s. I am really scared of the virus, but trying to stay positive. I don't work, but my main concern is that my husband is out to work full time, so I am still at risk of him bringing it home how ever careful I am.

I just saw someone mention that on their FB page someone elderly with COPD/ emphysema had had it and had reported they had come through the other end - the cough wasn’t pleasant but they made it.

Check out Ireland’s Asthma Association advice. A friend’s brother in Ireland has a wife with chronic asthma, so they followed this advice, and are now eating 2 meters apart, sleeping separately etc. He is also dipping his shoes in bleach outside the front door and then taking off all his work clothes straight into a washing machine just off their hall.

It seems extreme, but none of it is actually that difficult to arrange, it’s hopefully only for a couple of months or so, but keeps you for getting ill.

A large percentage are surviving, but you could arrange more separate in house arrangements to make sure of it!! Or at least as best as one can.

Keep safe 😊
