Coping with COVID-19

Hi,

Quick question; there may not be much evidence to answer this but as someone who has a j-pouch after having my colon removed due to ulcerative colitis, does this put me in an “at risk” category? Will it be harder for me to fight off the virus if I was to get it?

My FBC is all spot on at the moment, and my pouch is functioning well like it always has done. I only take three loperamide tablets per day with no other medication... just curious what these experts mean when they say people with “underlying health conditions” are at risk, not sure if this would concern me or not.

Cheers!
