Are we missing a Preventative and/or Treatment Opportunity for CoronaVirus?

There is lots of information on how to prevent the Virus Spread from the Outside-In, e.g. hand-washing, distancing, etc.

There is little talk, however, of how to Bolster the Immune System from the Inside-Out, e.g. eat/sleep right, manage stress, hydrate often, etc.

I think it's important to Prevent the Corona-virus from both the Inside and Outside - for both Prevention and Recovery.

This post is to increase awareness of what could be done to Optimize the Immune System for both Prevention and/or Recovery from Corona-virus ( and many other illnesses).

What else could be done...

*  Widen Prevention/Recovery Information to include Boosting the Immune System, in addition to existing Information on Hand-Washing, etc.  By doing so, we're working on both the Inside and the Outside to minimize sickness.  This Inside/Outside Information could be disseminated/promoted by governments, clinics, doctors, health insurance companies, etc.

*  Doctors could provide Personalized Prevention Information to each Patient, if asked to do so.  This Personalized Information would consider existing health conditions, limitations, etc.

*  Provide Support Groups (online) to reduce Stress from Corona Virus, Stock Market, etc.

*  Provide Placebo Inoculations until Anti-Virus Vaccine is developed.  Placebo's work for some people, even if the Patient knows it is a Placebo.  Placebo's work especially well if the doctor is positive about possible results, yet honest that the Inoculation has no active ingredients.  What do we have to lose?  Placebo's have no side effects since they are inert.  The cost is minimal and we probably have to have a control baseline anyway when we do Clinical Trials on the Proposed Vaccines.

That's all I've got right now.  Just wanted to encourage folks look at the Bigger Picture around this Health Situation, and maybe put down groundwork for people to "get better" and "stay better".  :-)
