Why do most people getting the new coronavirus have mild symptoms, some none, while some get serious or fatal pneumonias? Because they differ in \u201cimmune competence\u201d to repel or fight the infection. Boosting it would \u201cflatten the curve\u201d \u2014like avoiding exposure. We need both.<\/p>\n

We can strengthen our defensive ability by simple, universally accepted methods (but not yet urged by CDC or WHO) described in my talk \u201cSlowing Contagion\u201d at https:\/\/www.crowdcast.io\/e\/covid-19-virtual-summit\/<\/a><\/i>6: sleep, hydration, nutrition, exercise, calm, less alcohol, etc. See also great summaries at \/2, \/4, and \/5.<\/p>\n

My talk\u2019s PDF, citing extensive references, is at https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1N__0lqppKnMyzYxkfHPD5NnyBOK6-FTs\/view<\/a><\/i>. It was strongly endorsed by distinguished ex-Navy internist and ICU head Eric Rasmussen MD MDM FACP at crowdcast.io\/e\/covid-19-virtual-summit\/29, specifically at 30:12, 31:35, 43:25, and 47:31.<\/p>\n

Based on that talk\u2019s cited evidence, I just posted a lay summary (vetted by two MDs) of what kind of vitamin C, taken how much and how often, should have protective and therapeutic value: https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1D_7E_xVMgJk8lQ21nJH6Yy-KwjUX9Dyl\/view<\/a><\/i>. The best medical summary of why much medical opinion wrongly thinks vitamin C is unhelpful is by Prof. H. Hamil\u00e4 (senior author of the standard Cochrane Review ) at http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/28353648<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n

It would be a great public service if standard news-media reporters read these materials, which don\u2019t support their current reportage.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I respectfully but urgently encourage us all \u2014 especially our health care workers, frontline responders, other vital workers, and at-risk groups (chiefly the old, sick, and poor) \u2014 to take better care of themselves and consider at least my guide to vitamin C. This strongest known antiviral agent, properly used, can substantially reduce risk. Hamil\u00e4 shows it can prevent or moderate pneumonia. Severe cases can even need 25% less time on ventilators \u2014 like getting our hospitals one-third more ventilators.<\/p>\n

Please boost your immunity now. We\u2019ll all be much safer.<\/p>\n
