Since I take it daily for my Rheumatoid Arthritis -- a source of more than a small amount of concern.

IIRC the doses used as an antiviral are quite a big higher than those for an immunosuppressor. Everyone is piling on, but in fact the drug was known to have side effects from decades of use, and the hypothesis that it would hurt more than it helps was absolutely not unfounded. It was wrong (or at least, still unsupported), but it wasn't insane.

You're probably not in intensive care with a life threatening viral infection, so even if there is an increase in mortality in that group you may not need to be concerned.
