I just ordered some quercetin on amazon. Other than that been hitting the vitamin D3 capsules and tons of vitamin C.

Get antibacterial/viral sinus sprays. Studies have shown the virus concentrates in the nose where the ACE2 receptors are, that’s why most lose their sense of smell. Keeping the sinuses clean will help with viral loads.

(There are a lot of scientific paper links in the article)
I think too almost all of us are deficient (how it is defined here, anyway) in Vitamin D. And the darker the skin color the less ability we have to attain Vitamin D through sun exposure.

Doc has me on prednisone now. Hopefully that keeps the inflammation at bay.
