Has anyone with psoriasis, who is not on immunosuppressants had Covid?

Just wondering how you faired?
I was reading that one of the genes associated with severe Covid seems linked to psoriasis in some way

Does anyone know if there is a specific protocol to treat Covid patients with autoimmune disease who are not on immunosuppressants?

e.g. if you are taken to hospital or earlier, is Dexamethasone given at any point?

I don't have psoriasis but do suffer from Hashimoto and Coeliac and I also worry about a potential cytokine storm

Is psoriasis linked to insulin resistance?

Bumping for some more responses. Sorry I don’t know the answers to the last two posts.

I have had pustular psoriasis for about 25 years, occasionally it'll go into remission, my palms have been clear for a year or more and my feet aren't as bad as they used to be. I always thought that it would be worse if you were on immunosuppressants as they don't allow the body to fight back? There are many autoimmune diseases and I think we should add it to The List and take extra precaution to avoid contracting Covid and potential complications.
