Cite every sentence above, please, or cut out the idle speculation; it's foolish at best.

NPIs -- handwashing, avoiding close contact with people sneezing like mad, not touching your face -- are the only things that actually work right now that everyone can and should be doing.

It has been widely reported that CORVID-19 affects the lungs, and that smoking may play a role in the severity of symptoms. Also there have been plenty of studies linking high sugar diets with reduced immune response.
