I am continuing to receive a large amount of messages asking about whether thyroid patients are at a high risk for coronavirus.
Having just given birth and taking care of a newborn, I unfortunately don’t have the time myself to write a detailed post (I write this quick one at 3am, from my phone, with a baby breastfeeding from me!), so please see some information here.
Try to protect your mental health also. Set boundaries on where and how often you consume information about this pandemic.
