 Without worrying about the outcome, do what you can to avoid immune suppression, both internal and external. Smoking is dangerous (any kind of cigarettes). Roll your own, instead of buying tailor-made, because loosely constructed smokes burn to less complicated pollutants. If you have the habit, you may find that the use of a pipe will help to reduce the lung impact. Self centered people can be a danger; see [[https://mpkb.org/home/diseases/cancer#stress_derived_from_interaction_of_particular_personalities|cancer and diversion of energy]] Without worrying about the outcome, do what you can to avoid immune suppression, both internal and external.

 +Serum cholesterol is significantly lower among Chinese patients with Covid-19 (1). The reason may be that low cholesterol predisposes to infectious diseases, because LDL partake in the immune system by adhering to and inactivating almost all types of microorganisms and their toxic products. This is a little-known fact but it has been documented in many ways by more than a dozen research groups [[https://www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.m1182/rr-10|Chinese patients with Covid-19]]
