A lot of people are concerned about corona now and similar viruses in the future. That is understandable, considering the psychopaths who are in a position to potentially do something unthinkable. So, how to handle it?
HCQ and other products might help. Maybe medications that Trump took could help (not that I believe necessarily that he really had anything, but it's possible). But let's look at the animal kingdom and recent scientific research.
When animals feel sick, they stop eating. STOP. As in, THEY DO NOT EAT ANYTHING. This is a natural response. No thinking, since they are not capable. Just nature doing its thing.
What do humans do when we feel sick, such as catch a cold? We eat. Maybe it's chicken soup, but we eat. Some eat all day. We get cold medications, flu medications, antibiotics (which kills all bacteria, including the good stuff that we need). We do the exact OPPOSITE of what nature tells animals to do.
The University of Southern California (USC) did a study where they found that if people will stop eating for 3 days (a 72-hour fast), their immune system completely regenerates.
Our immune cells have a very short life. They are constantly making more and the "older" ones are dying off. But when the system is weak, our bodies do not do this very well. However, when we stop eating completely, our immune system kicks into high gear and starts generating large amounts of new immune cells, which is what we need to fight off pathogens that enter our bodies, whether they are dangerous viruses or something else.
There are many people who have provided their own anecdotal evidence that when they fasted competely, they healed a variety of illnesses and conditions -- often times, after months or years of failure to heal by taking the advice of the medical industry.
Fasting means no food at all. Nothing with any calories. Such things as juice "fasts" or veggie "fasts" are not fasts. If you are putting calories into your body, you are NOT fasting. Your body is using energy to digest the food. The point of fasting is to give your body a rest so that your body can focus on autophagy (cleansing), and devote as much energy as possible to that. By fasting, your body kicks autophagy into high gear and repairs itself at a much faster rate.
If you really want to feel the healing effects, try dry fasting. Dry fasting is no food of any kind, and also no liquids of any kind, including water.
To set the record straight, there is a lot of disinformation about these things in the media and on TV. "Survival" type TV shows often state false information. You might have heard that you will die in 21 days if you have no food, or in 3 days if you have no water. Both are lies.
The world record for known fasting (no food, but with water) is over 1 year. A man in the UK was over 400 pounds, and he went just a little over 1 year fasting and ended up at under 200 pounds. He was living off of his body fat for energy -- which is the reason we store body fat (future energy needs).
The longest known time anyone has gone with no food or water is 18 days. A man was locked in prison and then they forgot about him. When someone discovered he was in there, he had gone 18 days with nothing to eat or drink.
Going more than 2 or 3 days dry fasting is tough, and I do not recommend it. 3 days is the max I would do. And I have. I am currently at about 40 hours and feeling fine. I'll get back to eating regularly tomorrow night. I do it from time to time just for the extra cleansing benefit. It is also an excellent way to lose bodyfat while preserving lean body tissue (muscle).
Anytime you wake up in the morning and have a sore throat or feel a bit sick, stop eating (and drinking, if you want to dry fast), and give it at least 24 hours, then go 48 or 72 if you can. No need to go beyond that.
You will feel hungry, but you should understand what that hunger feeling is. Contrary to popular belief (as many things are), it is NOT your body telling you that you NEED to eat. Rather, it is your body telling you that it is your normal TIME to eat. Ghrelin is our hunger hormone. It will kick in during times of day that you usually eat, so that your body's digestive enzymes and other digestive proecesses can gear up. If you eat around the same time each day, ghrelin will kick in around those times of day.
BTW, If you are used to eating more than 3 times per day (including snacks), that is a habbit you should stop IMMEDIATELY. High frequency eating is the #1 cause of metabolic syndrome (high insulin levels) and metabolic syndrome is the #1 cause of most illnesses.
If you are used to eating 3 meals per day, and you decide to fast, you WILL get hungry around breakfast time. That is ghrelin kicking in to tell you it is TIME to eat (not that you NEED to eat). Just power through it as best you can, and it will go away in an hour or so. It will kick in again around lunch time. Again, just power through and it will go away. After a couple of days, ghrelin will reset and stop kicking in, and you won't be hungry anymore. That's how it works.
Eating 1 to 3 times per day, and dry fasting in between, is the healthiest way to eat. Humans are not "grazers" like cows are, and we should not graze all day long with multiple snacks and drinks. It is the #1 thing killing us, moreso even than poor quality food.
When fasting, you cut that down to no food for a limited period of time. Dry fasting also cuts out all liquids (including water).
In the past, I would catch a cold and do the usual routine that everyone else does, mostly focused around buying useless products in the pharmacy. My colds would often drag on for 2 or even 3 weeks sometimes. My immune system was having a tought time killing off the virus.
But now, if I wake up feeling a sore throat, I just dry fast for a couple of days, and I am back to normal in 2 or 3 days max -- and I did not waste any money on worthless medications.
If a hard core virus hits us in the future, our immune system is going to be the best weapon to kill it.
Look into it. Try it out, so you can do it anytime you want without fear or hesitation.

Here is a great chart to use to see what fasting will do for you

Look at that one for blood glucose/insulin. Most people get up in the morning, have coffee with cream and sugar. Then, breakfast. A snack and then lunch. They eat or drink something in the afternoon, and then dinner. Then, they each junk food in front of the TV, maybe a little ice cream before bed, and then FINALLY their digestive tract gets a rest overnight. Some people even get up in the middle of the night and eat again.
Their insulin levels just get higher and higher and higher over time. That is metabolic syndrome. It causes diabetes, and other illneses. Probably contributes to cancer, as well, because when insulin is high, autophagy is non-existent (it's a see-saw, with one up and the other down).
This is the #1 cause of illness in the western world. It causes all these other illnesses we get, but they can all be traced back to metabloic syndrome, which can be traced back to the bad habbit of constantly feeding like a cow.
Problem is: we are not cows. (Well, most of us, anyway.)
How do you cope with the grumpiness?
I had a stay in hospital with a grumbling appendix for three days and didn't have any food as I could be taken down to surgery at any time.
I definitely got quite grumpy :)
I know, right?
I did the one meal a day thing for a few weeks and by about 23 hours my brain feels like its working about 60%. I can’t solve complicated problems or multitask, and every failure to be able to do something I can do easily when not hungry, got very annoying.
