Title: Post Hep C and Covid19
Post by: WholeFoods on March 15, 2020, 05:48:45 pm

HepatitisAustralia.com states that if you have been cured of Hep C and have chronic conditions after cure, you are considered to be even higher risk for complications should you contract COVID19, whether the condition is liver or immune-related.

Also, the surgeon general has stated that older adults (60 and over) typically do not develop real high fevers and that if you are an older adult who develops a fever of 99+ you should contact your doctor and push for COVID19 testing.

Stay well and follow the rules!
