Mostly terrified of HB + Covid

The world we are living in is insane, I can't believe I'm living in times like this.

So of course my stomach has been more or less fine for 41 years, and I've developed what I'm positive is a HB infection JUST AS Omicron strain of Covid is coming around. I'm boosted and as ready for COVID as I can be, but given that it seems to exploit literally any little thing that's wrong with the body, I worry. Have there been any studies or even anecdotal experiences of HB + COVID in the last two years?

Sorry, by HB I meant h. pylori, (H)elico(B)acter.

Probably no effect. places with and without H. pylori, are deeply affected by COVID.

Also, H. pylori is a bacteria, COVID is a virus. So they wont collaborate.
They are however quite similar in terms of pathology.
Both induce inflammation. H. pylori causes inflammation in the stomach; COVID causes inflammation in the lungs.
But COVID is clearly more severe than H. pylori.
