From what I understand, corona virus is a lung flu as opposed to upper respiratory flu, making it more dangerous to people with PF. In addition to above suggestions, I am asking visitors to wash their hands thoroughly as soon as they come into my house –we touch something everywhere we go and most of us are not thinking about sanitizing every time we push a door open or hold a railing on stairs. I am probably over-reacting but better that than ignoring possibilities.
I, too, have variable fatigue with my IPF. It seems as if it gets worse whenever there is a drop in the barometric pressure – which is often associated with increased humidity. They both have negative effects on me. I watch the weather religiously and when I notice the pressure dropping, I slow down and postpone any major activities (such as they are!) to conserve what energy I have.
