Here are 5 key ways to put your immune system in overdrive to help fight coronavirus.

The Coronavirus pandemic has affected everyone. And despite politicians like Devin Nunes encouraging people to gather in public places (seriously, wtf?), you should probably just stay home and avoid people, even if you feel totally healthy.

It will be at least a week or two before we have an idea of just how many people in the US are sick with it (largely due to the Trump administration's complete failure to properly plan for the pandemic).

In the meantime, people may be wondering what they can do to boost their immune system to be ready to fight COVID-19.

So here's my 5-part plan for how to put your immune system in overdrive:

You can't It's impossible Seriously, there's not a goddamn thing you can eat or drink that will do it Even if you could (which you cannot), you wouldn't want to do it in the first place A 'boosted' immune systems causes autoimmune disorders such as allergies, Celiac Disease, Psoriasis, Crohn’s Disease, Lupus, and more.

I wrote a whole thing about this a while go that you can read here.

Basically, whenever you hear someone say something about how to "boost" your immune system, it's safe to assume that they're an idiot and/or are trying to sell you a useless product of some kind.

The best thing you can do to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 during this pandemic is to practice social distancing and wash your damn hands, you big dumb idiot. Stay hydrated, don't buy every square centimeter of toilet paper you can find, and for the love of Darwin, don't go to the emergency room unless you honestly believe that it is truly an emergency. Otherwise, you're taking resources from someone else who actually needs them.
