I've smoked about a pack a day for 8 years. I've recently cut down to less than half a pack a day. (Might be why I'm a little extra anxious)
I take a variety of medications for anxiety and depression, and 1 medication for high triglyceride levels. (Vescepa - just a really potent fish oil)
I take propranolol for my anxiety, which has the added benifit of keeping my blood pressure and pulse in a very nice range. (Never been diagnosed with high blood pressure)
No diabetes.
No other medical conditions.

Key takeaways:
1.) .2% of all coronavirus deaths have been in your age range. And that's just looking at people who actually died, so it's basically .2% of the 4% of people who died after getting this. And remember in that number are a lot of people with underlying conditions. It's basically impossible for you to die from this.
2.) As far as United States goes, you live in nearly the ideal place. You are in the midwest, decently far from any major city (but not too far), and the closest one to you has documented a grand total of 50ish cases to date. (About .002% of it's population.) It's really unlikely you'll even catch this disease. Not that it will ultimately matter at all if you do.
Relax. You'll be fine.
