摘要
Rheumatology patients who are taking immunosuppressants are considered to be at 'high risk' from COVID-19, hence have been self-isolating or shielding. However, they may be protected from the features of hyperinflammation driven by a 'cytokine storm', so may have better clinical outcomes if infected. This editorial discusses whether it may not be necessary to advise these patients to shield.
