Hello Gareth

Unless you are in pain or stress which will depress your immune system i cant see why folks with dystonia are at greater risk. Likewise those with dbs.the problem will be if folks cant get their Botox or keeping their spirits up if they have to self isolate.

Take care

I dont have a facts based answer,BUT wherever u r in the world,heed the orders of ur country n govt officials.

I myself have huge number of med issues including Dystonia n low immune system, so ive been inside,in bed since 3/11/20 or so..losing track of time.im leaving mail n pkgs outside for day or two before bringing them inside.

So..my friend..be safe,social distance n stay in touch.We all need each other right now with all the uncertainties.
