Two years ago I had a very serious pneumonia. I had to be put in an induced coma for 8 days while I was on ECMO (extra corporal membrane oxigenation). Took me some months to recover completely and two years later I feel fine.
However, I would like to know if I am a person of risk in this Covid-19 pandemic.
Thank you

Absolutely true.. tragically all age groups were affected and lost their lives.. even looking at the data we have so far, people with no underlying health issues died too! No one knows who will be affected severely so it's best for everyone to take full precautions!
Take all necessary precautions you maybe aren't more at risk of developing covid but if there is any underlying damage to your lungs from pneumonia then you may suffer it more seriously. I personally have just been following most of the government guidance and avoiding working where there are confirmed cases.
