Best things for the immune system are exercise, sleep, hydration and extra vegetables, so says my mom’s dr. and everything I’m reading.

The virus is airborne, they’ve known that for a while but they’re barely covering it... all the focus is on hand washing. Hate to say it but visiting without getting close physically is best... you could put a bandana over your mouth and nose to prevent virus shedding (I believe we should all assume we have the virus already since it is totally stealth), and gargle with salt water or listerine plus rinse/blow your nose with saline before you arrive to lessen any virus shedding. It lives in your nose and throat before moving into the lungs. I got some saline nasal spray to use a couple times a day, it’s supposed to help keep the virus from replicating so freely in the nasal passages. Maybe that’s TMI?
