I'm curious about something. I've had asthma allergic rhinitis for the past two years, but before all that started, I was able to donate blood. Do you think it's still okay for me to give blood now?

I'm having asthma since I was a child, and for the past three days, I've been struggling to breathe properly. I've been using my Asthalin inhaler, but today I tried some Asthalin syrup and my breathlessness got worse. Now my hands are shaking, and my heart is racing. What should I do?

I'm really worried because someone I know has been a COVID patient since April 8th. We retested after 17 days, and its still positive. The CT scan shows a CORADS6 and a severity score of 6 out of 25, with findings like patchy areas of ground glass, septal thickening, and vascular issues suggesting viral pneumonia. I'm not sure what steps to take next or which medicines should be considered. Can you help?
