I continued to use my inhalers whilst infected. Had I not, I would have definitely ended up with a hospital admission, they were a lifeline.

Agree

Possible you wouldn't want to use them out in public and inside with other people around IF you can help it.

I missed this one when you posted it, I’ve just seen it while looking through for something else. I misssed your post and the whole information in general, probably just as well or it would have made me worry! I did not know that there was a time we were warned that our inhalers could increase the risk of the coronavirus. That’s some advice to be giving out 🙀
