1. Infection Prevention
I use a nasal rinse made up of a simple salt/sodium bicarbonate mix (the basic "Netie Pot" treatment) and add a teaspoon of Povidone-Iodine 10% solution to a 1.5 oz (44 ml) nasal spayer. Whenever I plan to go out to do chores, I put two sprays in each nostril as an antiseptic barrier to kill COVID-19 particles that might land there. I use this one from Walgreens and will refill it myself with a NeilMed mixture when it runs out.
I also use a mouthwash made up of 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 2 parts water when I brush my teeth.
2. Infection and Gestation
I plan to "pre-activate" the interferon in my innate immune system. COVID-19 blocks the production of interferon, which delays the response of the Killer Cells of the innate immune system.
To "pre-activate" the interferon, I will use a hot/cold treatment every 3 days. I will go into my backyard hot tub, set at 104 degrees F. I'll follow a 10-minutes in and then 10 minutes out pattern for about an hour.
The goal is to have the body ready and waiting to find COVID-19 viruses if they enter my body.

3. Strengthening the Endothelial Cells
I will take Zinc and the Zinc ionophore Quercetin. Quercetin will allow the Zinc to pass through the cell membrane, where it will wait for the COVID-19 virus to bond and insert its RNA. Then it will stop the RNA replication process inside the cell.
4. Fight Oxidative Stress
To buy my immune system time to develop the antibodies to fight the fast-replicating (hindered by Zinc) COVID-19 virus, I will take NAC and Sulforphane to keep my Glutathione antioxidant levels high. Antioxidants replace the lost electrons from O2 superoxide molecules, keeping them from forming H2O2 hydrogen peroxide, which is what damages the internal organs.
COVID-19 binds to the ACE2 receptors, which block the proteins which normally trigger the production of Glutathione. This causes the body to go into Glutathione deficiency, which leads to oxidative stress, which causes the organs to fail. This is when people are put on ventilators.

See: Coronavirus Pandemic Update 65: COVID-19 and Oxidative Stress (Prevention & Risk Factors)
See: Coronavirus Pandemic Update 69: "NAC" Supplementation and COVID-19 (N-Acetylcysteine)
5. General Health
I will take vitamin C and D3, and also Magnesium for bone health (where blood cells are made).
I hope that this combination of therapies will keep my body's natural immune system charged and ready to fight COVID-19 if I should get it.

I suggest you add Benadryl ( or the genetic equivalent) to your home treatment plan. Take with milk or a milk product as per box directions at the first symptoms. The Benadryl and milk protocol is very new. Just read about it a few weeks ago. Treated my daughter last week when she developed covid symptoms after multiple exposures in her workplace.
Benadryl and hot chocolate over 3 days ( plus other supplements) completely and rapidly knocked down her fatigue, body aches, headache, fever, and GI issues. I was really surprised. I think somehow the Benadryl milk synergy is stopping the immune reaction from going hyper, like cytokine storm. And that immune reaction is causing a lot of the symptoms.
I have been reading a lot of similar good reports.
This is a treatment suggestion. Not a preventive.
