    I agree with Cheryl. Your fear is real. I got MG about a month before COVID. Since that time I’ve carefully avoided large gatherings, mask when shopping, get COVID and flu shots and have lived a fairly hermetic existence. Fortunately/unfortunately my wife is also immunocompromised with RA. A couple of years ago, after a surgery and recovering at home, I had a pulmonary embolism. It gave me a taste of what a lung muscle crisis might feel like. Let’s just say I’m glad I live 5 minutes from an emergency room. People with autoimmune diseases have much to contribute to our society; we are not expendable.
