Information: How good is the information sharing amongst the medical community? Do they share what is working and what isn't? Is the information crowdsourced at all or is it all centrally controlled?
Auto-immune diseases: Are people with psoriasis, crohns, MS, lupus, etc worse off once they contract CV because of cytokine storms?

Not very good from my perspective. Each hospital has different ways to go about this based on intensivist opinion. Twitter and podcasts may really be the best information sharing avenue.

I don't now. But I did have a myasthenia patient today and 2 of the drugs on the do not give list were hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.

This depends, you are more at risk with an autoimmune disease if you are taking a medication that puts you at risk for disease. Several DMD's ( disease-modifying drugs) do this.
I have MS. I contacted my neurologist, and she told me to continue to take low dose naltrexone, which is my dmd. I did some research and it helps with a cytokine storm, and it restores my immune system. So I should be ( hopefully) good if I catch this. Who really knows, I guess I will find out if I do catch it.
( I am not a doc)
