This paper points out that patients on infliximab (trade name Remicade: immune system modulator used by people with chronic autoimmune diseases, particularly IBD and rheumatoid arthritis) don't seem to be at elevated risk of severe COVID – which is surprising because these are powerful immune system suppressants.

I had to start taking immunosuppressants earlier this year, and after reading up on it I've convinced myself that it's an effective treatment for severe covid. As it happened, I essentially had a severe covid experience, but for auto-immune/ideopathic reasons. It's like my body had 2020 FOMO.
