Have either of you guys treated asthma patients that tested positive for COVID-19? My son has asthma and I'm scared as hell about him getting it.

From another thread

Based on what I'm hearing from colleagues in peds ID it seems like asthma is the theme of severe presentations under 20. Kids with asthma are the ones getting intubated, but thankfully this is more related to reactive airway disease and less so parenchymal lung disease. It basically causes a severe asthma exacerbation which is easy enough to fix once they're intubated.

Can any medical people expound on what this means for children w asthma/adults w asthma?
