As of August 24, 2020, over 23 million people around the world have been infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic [1]. The case-fatality rate is between 0.5% and 1% with most dying from respiratory failure related to diffuse alveolar damage, vascular thrombosis or pulmonary edema [2]. To date, 813,000 individuals worldwide have succumbed to the disease [1].There is considerable debate on whether (or not) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a common airway disease that affects~ 10% of individuals over 45 years of age [3], is a risk factor for COVID-19. A recent review of the epidemiological literature revealed wideranging prevalence (1.1 À38%) of COPD among patients with COVID-194. However, these previous studies may have suffered from several important methodological limitations including small sample sizes and ascertainment bias. The study by Attaway et al. addresses some of these limitations and provides important data that fill in critical gaps in knowledge [5]. Using a large and robust Cleveland Clinic COVID-19 registry, the investigators abstracted data on patient characteristics including co-morbidities on all laboratory confirmed cases of COVID-19 at their center. Of the 15,586 symptomatic patients, who were tested for COVID-19, 1319 (9.2%) had COPD. Interestingly, after adjustment for covariates, the investigators found no significant differences in the rate of SARS-CoV-2 positivity between COPD and non-COPD patients. However, significantly higher rates of hospitalization (adjusted odds ratio of 1.36), ICU admissions (adjusted odds ratio of 1.20) and invasive mechanical ventilation (adjusted odds ratio of 1.49) were observed in COPD patients infected with the virus (versus non-COPD patients). These data are remarkably consistent with those by Guan et al., who in 1590 laboratory confirmed hospitalised patients from 575 hospitals in China showed that COPD patients
