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
Pre-exposure
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
- a thermometer
- vitamin D (preferably the higher concentration 5000 IU doses)
- zinc
- quercetin (an ionophore for the zinc)[1]
- Tylenol or a substitute for reducing fever
- calibrate your sense of smell (such as checking your ability to smell certain foods), so that you can detect early this telltale sign of COVID-19: a loss in smell.[2]
Delay in responding to an exposure and suspected early symptoms can give the virus a harmful foothold in the body.
