Coronavirus questions - Is pneumonia what is killing people?

[Filliam H. Muffman]

From what I have read, most of the COVID-19 deaths are adults that have lung issues, like heavy smokers or damage from prior respiratory diseases.

I don't know if asthma counts as one of the lung issues, but the CDC does mention it as a risk factor for being more likely to suffer from pneumonia.

Stay safe and well everybody.
