What would it be like if you had severe asthma and became infected with COVID-19?
At a recent Public Advisory Roundtable (PAR) sponsored by the American Thoracic Society (ATS), we were able to find out. Allergy & Asthma Network partnered with ATS to listen to two patients tell their stories of having chronic respiratory conditions and getting the novel coronavirus. One of the patients, Emily Lenz, has severe asthma.
Emily tells her story after being introduced by the Network’s President and CEO, Tonya Winders, at 18:30 on this video.
