ME & COVID

Not sure this is the place for this...
Our son (45, lives with us) just tested positive for SARS-COV2. So, is ME considered a 'co-morbidity' for COVID? Any research on the interplay between these two? Having 2 illnesses at once is NEVER a good thing, but was wondering if there is anything in particular I need to be concerned about.

First, I am sorry to hear that your son tested positive for SARS. I don't know if ME would be considered co-morbid, though! I have often wondered how it would play out if someone got SARS while struggling with ME. I hope others can weigh in, who have had SARS.
