Optimize these nutrients, not just "normal" test results or minimum RDA. That can still be a deficiency. Vitamin D3 balanced with K2. Test, don't guess. You want 70 ng/ml of D3. Vitamin C with bioflavenoids. Protocols vary depending on method of administration. Bowel tolerance is a good indication for oral. Prior to onset of infection, supplement with zinc sulfate. Many people, esp, the elderly are deficient. It may be less helpful in active disease. Hydroxychloroquine is useful in unblocking the zinc pathways. As most readers probably know, zinc is important for immunity. Zinc is necessary for heart muscle function and this may explain why some people have literally "dropped dead". One sign of severe zinc deficiency is loss of taste and smell. This is now recognized as a major symptom of coronavirus.

Correcting deficiencies is strongly immuno-protective. prevention is better than hospitalization and worse. Prior planning prevents panic. Attention to diet. The COVID-19 will likely be followed by COVID-20. That is, when people sit at home, eat crap and gain 20#. If you are less active, you need less food. Better to eat well and find a way to increase activity.
