Abstract
We carefully read the recently published research letter “Is asthma protective of COVID‐19?” by Carli et al.1 with great interest. Important topics for asthma patients during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic were discussed, including that until recently there was limited evidence that patients with chronic respiratory disorders are at lower risk of being infected with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) or becoming severely ill.
