Once more, as stated in the OP, this thread is for evidence based discussion about treatment strategies specific to SARS-CoV-2. Much like discussion surrounding the influenza vaccine on the previous page, discussion about vitamin C megadosing for the common cold is entirely off topic. There are plenty of other threads where such discussion would be more suitable.

Your thread your rules. I have reposted the information on potential immune boosting supplements here:

I do disagree that this is off topic. We are just at the start of this and already there is a nationwide shortages of protective gear.

Coronavirus: Pleas go out for healthcare workers facing shortages of protective gear

Many front line healthcare workers are very likely to be placed in situations where they must treat patients with insufficient protective equipment. Any comprehensive treatment strategy for SARS-CoV-2 at this point must in addition to the typical treatment algorithms also include the following.

1) Developing a plan for treatment when new supplies of typically disposable protective equipment cannot be obtained.
2) Assessing personnel risk and determining which personnel should or should not be allowed to enter situations that carry high risk for exposure.
3) Risk mitigation for the inevitable high numbers of healthcare worker who will contract this on the job.

I would make the case that immune boosting supplements fall into #3 and are therefore relevant to a discussion of treatment strategies for SARS-CoV-2. However, I realize that that this not the direction you want this thread to go in so I will refrain posting any further discussion of supplements in this thread.
