Coronavirus Survival Guide includes these basic points:
- establish a good baseline of immunity with Vitamin D and zinc
- obtain the means to monitor your own oxygen levels with an inexpensive pulse oximeter (which are no longer expensive as they used to be)
- recognize that early treatment is most effective, within a day of exposure to the illness and certainly within a day of symptoms
- one of the best tests if someone has COVID-19 is the loss of the sense of smell
- prepare to opt for home care if you contract COVID-19 rather than hospital care
- have access to a free market physician who is not employed by a hospital
- know your full rights to walk out of a hospital "against medical advice" if it denies you access to helpful medication, such as hydroxychloroquine

It can be helpful to have these in ample supply pre-exposure:
- a pulse oximeter (cost is only about $10 online), with extra batteries for it

Delay in responding to an exposure and suspected early symptoms can give the virus a harmful foothold in the body.
