So, I'm a mess health-wise. Smoker, T2 diabetes (I know... my fault), and bad cholesterol. BUT... I donated a kidney years ago so my doctor put me on Lisinopril (ACE2 Inhibitor) as a prophylactic to protect my remaining kidney. I also take Metformin for the T2 and Atorvasatin (statin) for the cholesterol. All three drugs, along with my stupid nicotine issues, probably helped prevent me from catching COVID. There are all kinds of studies out there that show that all three of those drugs (and now nicotine) reduces the viral load. Not to mention my coffee addiction, which now, is being reportred as an unexpected protectant.
