The corona virus is reported to primarily threaten weak immune systems and while a lot of good information is being shared on the subject, a 2014 USC led study found that fasting appears to dramatically improve the immune system, yet very few seem to be aware of this.
The following is from a study at the University of Southern California's Medical Center where the immune systems of patients improved after 3 days of fasting > https://news.usc.edu/63669/fasting-triggers-stem-cell-regeneration-of-damaged-old-immune-system/
Fasting can be difficult for some, so a year later in 2015, the same center created a fast-mimicking diet that is easier to complete and available through a doctor > https://news.usc.edu/82 959/diet-that-mimics-fasting-appears-to-slow-aging/
In layman's terms, during a fast there is less new work for the immune system, allowing more time to fight disease and replace damaged cells as demonstrated in the following video links:
The immune cells shown here are called macrophages, and if you look closely you can see one consume what are believed to be damaged cells: https://youtu.be/w0-0Bqoge2E
