Am I a riskgroup to get Corona virus? Please let me know

Post Reply New Topic

Maybe there are people that know this here cause in my country it takes a month to get a doctor appointment in normal cases, which means it will take forever now which leaves me in a hopeless feeling.

I have had hashimoto disease almost 15 years, but they say "hypothyrodism" but I know it was autoimmune when I was diagnosed, I eat Levothyroxine daily, the blood samples has been steady for years with minor changes during stressful times. I also take Singulair for adult onset asthma, I got asthma during times with unknown mold in our apartment, I only take Singulair every other day and I dont need any other meds.
I'm under 40 years old and I selfisolate anyway, its what I do even if its no Corona but even more now. Im not over or underweight, Im not a smoker.

Am I riskgroup?

If anyone know the answer to this I would be very, very greatful.

Stay safe everybody

Doesn't seem very bad to me but I'm not a doctor.
Self isolate, make art not to get insane and hope for the best

Asthma is counted as a chronic respiratory disease and so you may ( depending on how much you are suffering from it at the moment ) be in the "increased risk" group. Apparently those with a chronic respiratory disease have a 6% - 8% risk of dying compared to that of others your age of 0.2%. Thyroid disorders are not mentioned as a risk factor. Wear a mask whenever you go out, wash your hands whenever been out, and stay home as much as you can manage.

How about Health and Fitness?

I am at high risk from it. But I seriously doubt that I will get it. Being very careful of course. Like I am during any cold a flu season.

Hashimoto’s IS an autoimmune disorder and you may be in the high risk group then. I have regular under active thyroid. I take the same meds as you, but my type is not an autoimmune disorder.

I read an article from Europe that defined who they considered to be high risk. It read:

Age >65 years and/or underlying end organ dysfunction (lung, heart, liver,...), diabetes, coronaropathy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), arterial hypertension.

Thank you all for your responds. I'm not too sure if I am in a riskgroup or not but I do know that this illness can hit healthy people hard as well, especially with underlaying disease. I do hope you all are careful
