Well yeah. Its no substitute for antivirals. TRT specifically helps the body become stronger and it supports the treatment of HIV.

Any tips for how we can best prepare ourselves through these times?
Would Vitamin c supplements benefit or any other supplements for our immune health?
I think the answer relies in the Natural killers cells and nuclear cells and their relationship with steroid hormones.
I suggest to read more about that.
COVID is a very complex topic. As much as the data shows hormonally optimized people have a better chance than people with hormonal deficiencies. Especially estradiol is the key here. A good time to stop your AI at least for a while. The studies showing people with higher t levels have lower immunity are either compromised, wrongly interpreted or extrapolated from bodybuilding dosages.
A guy from the forum here got sick with his brother and he had much easier time than the brother with the disease. According to the doctor because his hemoglobin is higher due to TRT. The increased oxygen carrying capacity is a huge factor against COVID and the hemoglobin molecules is one of the places this disease attacks.
However seems like Vitamin D for example is a bigger factor than testosterone in the fight with this aggressive disease. But it seems the most key factor is genetics. There are healthy people with zero symptoms and relatively equal healthy people that may not go to hospital but have some hard time with the disease. So what makes the difference? Seems in the first place is how many ACE-2 receptors we have. The more of these receptors you have the more places the disease has where to attach and attack you.
Also seems for various reasons different nations and races are hit with different intensity. For example in my country Bulgaria we have so far officially only 1300 cases and 50 deaths(all of them with serious pre existing conditions, only one 38 years old man was considered healthy), but Im sure the number of sick people is at least 100 000. Yes we started quarantine very early, but it has never been strict, many businesses remain open and the people dont follow even the little rules we have. People here are totally not giving a fuck about the disease and worry only about the economy. Half of them think the disease is fake and the other half thinks drinking 1l every day of heavy local alcohol named rakia will save them 
Seeing how we handle the virus I think that we are like cockroaches in a nuclear war. Hope it stays this way, because our health system is a joke. We have only a few hundred more free beds.
In Russia also they have a lot of cases and very few deaths. I think they have the best protocols of treating it there from what I researched but that is another topic. We and the Russians have since birth one very old vaccine against tuberculosis that many people now consider to be effective to some extend in reducing COVID severity. Non of the countries hardly hit have used this vaccine massively.
So too many variables with this disease. Too many things we dont know.
Sleep well, drink a lot of water, eat healthy a lot of veggies, vitamin d at least 5000 u tis per day, exercise, do cardio, vitamin c 1-2 grams per day and prepare a lot of vitamin c standing by.
If you get sick you start taking 10-20g daily. Dont worry, the body will need all of it and even more in case of getting it.
Sure they do. And Nicaragua really has only 11 cases.

I have friends in Russia so I have some idea what is the situation and there are no hidden tracks carrying corpses.
And numbers are not accurate in all the countries, depending mainly on the levels of testing
I can only share my personal experience. Tested positive for covid. Felt like a normal flu to me. Just lasted a few days longer. I would have just assumed it was the flu. I was fine. My girl had it too. She had a more severe cough, but otherwise it was a little milder for her and she got over it maybe 3 or 4 days before I did.

I think this is from the cases where correlation does not mean causation, because probably all those low t patients are either old or obese/overweight which are known major risk factors for COVID complications
Some good news
Love my liquid goldā¦
