I don’t see facts like that as comforting as much as more of a “beware” notice. I’ve noted that most folks over age 90 still survive, but my FIL has one lung and heart issues that are quite significant besides his age. We interpret that advice to be extra cautious around him. His odds don’t look good. We all feel if he catches it he’s the poster child for someone who won’t make it even though he’s out fishing now so doing fine for his age without Covid.
With severe asthma I’d be extra cautious too. No one wants to be “that family in the news.” Best wishes to you.
In my family we just got word last night that my (mid 40s) cousin was just taken off a ventilator and had his feeding tube removed from a ruptured artery near his small intestine. He almost didn’t make it (2 weeks on the ventilator), but is improving now, so should. No one knows why it happened and it’s supposedly the first of its kind that his surgeon had seen. (Not sure exactly how to interpret that - just repeating what my aunt told me.)
The discussion last night though was of Covid. His two kids just started school - high school and intermediate school. His wife still works. What if they bring it home? What if he catches that now? There’s a lot of rejoicing that he’s come this far, but what does the future bring? (Covid, his job, etc) It’s very difficult to know how to proceed. I’m not sure his being in his mid 40s will protect him.
