thank you for the response. Quick follow-up (and sorry about the dumb questions): do you mean an asymptomatic carrier will have a normal immune response, therefore will still create antibodies to fight the virus despite being asymptomatic?Or do you mean in spite of having a normal immune response, their body couldn't detect the virus (therefore asymptomatic and won't fight the virus)?

Glad you asked this. I also have stage 1 or 2 sarcoidosis which is largely asymptomatic. My brother, however, has fibrosed lungs due to severe sarcoidosis. I worry more about him as he is currently on an immunosuppressant which seems to be helping him.
Not to my knowledge.That would come under the classification of pulmonary disease so I think would suggest higher risk of severe symptoms, but depends on age and severity of the sarcoidosis.
