You can boost your immune system as a measure to protect your immune system and reduce the risk and overall effects.
Vitamin C is a well known vitamin for boosting our body’s immune system and inflammation. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, has antioxidant properties. It helps prevent damage to cells and heal damaged cells. Vitamin C intramuscular injections are also used or cancer, general health and immune function. Injections directly into the blood stream are more potent and effective as they bi-pass the acid in the body to get directly to the effected white blood cells. A lack of vitamin C has been long known to increase susceptibility to viruses, and a few studies have shown that vitamin C deficiency is related to the increased risk and severity of influenza infections.

Vitamin C is essential for life and acts like a miracle in certain applications and yet, humans are among just a few types of mammals that cannot produce it within their bodies.
Linus Pauling is one of only four people to have ever won more than one Nobel Prize. His later research showed that mega doses of vitamin C taken intravenously could significantly increase the survival rates of cancer patients. As a biochemist, Pauling was one of the founders of quantum chemistry and molecular biology. In the 1970’s, he spearheaded the megavitamin therapy movement in the treatment of disease, which became known as orthomolecular medicine or the prevention and treatment of disease with substances that are natural to the body.
The Chinese officials have recommended vitamin C for prevention and treatment of COVID-19 with positive results, and with clinical trials ongoing. Prolonged infection depletes vitamin C and studies show that it is effective against some strains of coronavirus,[v] It reduces incidence and severity of pneumonia.

Chinese scientists are administering high amounts of vitamin C on patients carrying the coronavirus in an attempt to discover whether the nutrient can curb the virus. Researchers at the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University are giving those infected daily infusions of 24g of vitamin C for seven days.
Results of the tests have not yet been published. Scientists, however, appear hopeful at the prospect of the vitamin being the answer to what looks set to become a pandemic. The dosage in China is around 60 times as much as the NHS daily recommend amount and 24 times the amount trialled against cold in reviews by Cochrane.
In previous tests, vitamin C has worked against every virus, if given sufficient concentration, says Dr Thomas Levy, a US cardiologist. (https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1250062/coronavirus-cure-china-yuan-pandemic-science-virus-symptoms)
Chinese e-commerce giant, JD has reported that sales of Vitamin C were up 5 fold after the announcement of the coronavirus (COVID-19). This is being used to prevent fever, cold, and other respiratory symptoms.
One of the most famous examples of the healing power of vitamin C is that of former U.S. diplomat and author, Norman Cousins, who in 1964 was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, an extremely painful degenerative condition of the connective tissue of the spine. After checking himself out of the ICU and returning home, he devised his own healing protocol. With the assistance of a physician friend, Cousins took 25g of vitamin C intravenously over a period of several hours each day and watched old movie reels of Marx Brothers movies and the Candid Camera comedy show. His healing plan didn’t include much else. As his laughter released healing endorphins into his system, the vitamin C was supercharging his immunity and dissolving the toxins that were attacking his spine. The effects could be felt immediately, and over the subsequent months he made a total recovery from the so-called incurable illness. I highly recommend his book recounting the experience, Anatomy of an Illness.
Keep taking your Vitamin C to ensure you are powering up your body for the best chance of reducing the likelihood of contracting the disease/reducing high-risk complications. If you can get intramuscular injections this is the best/most potent source that gets directly into the blood stream!
