Study: Asthma does not increase risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19

Study: Asthma does not increase risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 A new study looking at how COVID-19 affects people with asthma provides reassurance that having the condition doesn t increase the risk of severe illness or death from the virus. George Institute for Global Health researchers in Australia analyzed data from 57 studies with an overall sample size of 587,280. Almost 350,000 people in the pool had been infected with COVID-19 from Asia, Europe, and North and South America and found they had similar proportions of asthma to the general population. The results, published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Asthma, show that just over seven in every 100 people who tested positive for COVID-19 also had asthma, compared to just over eight in 100 in the general population having the condition. They also showed that people with asthma had a 14 percent lower risk of acquiring COVID-19 and were significantly less likely to be hospitalized with the virus.
