 If you're healthy, you should be fine.

Vitamin D is crucial but I'm sure you're outside frequently & don't lather on sunscreen. A vit D supplement would be good if it was winter or spring though.

Zinc is probably helpful.

Start fasting if you start to feel ill (I naturally tend to do this anyway). Otherwise eat your ruminant meat for nutrition.

The only time I've gotten sick in the last 4 years has been after a series of late nights with alcohol. I was run down & I'm pretty sure that it was Rona I caught.

 Your question got me thinking.

I've just ordered a few grams of methylene blue. I don't think it's something you'd take regularly or for prolonged periods, but if in a state of dis-ease, it does appear to be a magic bullet of sorts.

It seems to be a pretty useful all round & benign drug for acute biological threats:

- treating poisons
- inflammation
- mitochondria dysfunction
- cancer (restores mitochondrial function)
- antimicrobial & antiviral (dengue fever treatment)

I tried it once 5 years ago & I didn't like the chemical taste. I do think it's something that is useful to have on hand.

This is where I sourced it - cztl.bz

 I got the methylene blue but I've been drawn to chlorine dioxide.

It's a big rabbit hole & looks to be worth exploring.

Low risk & very high return if true.

Not dead yet.
