re: Why do people keep listing asthma a preexisting condition that increase symptoms?

As a younger, relatively in shape guy that has asthma

I had asthma when I was a kid and severe allergies and got injections. Asthma disappeared. Then I got into my 40's, and started getting symptoms of both again, started allergy injections again. Asthma makes it much more difficult to clear your lungs, especially right now in GA with tree pollen raging. Absolutely can understand how it would make CV harder to overcome if faced with a moderate to severe case. If what has been reported is correct about damage the virus can inflict on lungs, which would appear to be permanent, I sure as frick can see those with asthma to get back to remotely "normal" regarding lung function. If anyone has existing serious allergies and asthma they should never live in mid-to-north Georgia.
