And do they ever self medicate! I am an RN who volunteers in a local free health care clinic that has a high percentage of Hispanic patients. At the first scratch, sniffle or sneeze they start popping antibiotics. When asked what they are taking or doing for the current problem, it is not uncommon for them to hand you a bottle of pills. Usually it is the wrong antibiotic/medication for the problem.

As an RN, you might find this interesting. Elsewhere I was reading of an OTC drug combination that might work in reducing the dangerous Severe Respiratory Distress associated with influenza, possibly even for use in a cytokine storm event. If you could make some inquiries, this might prove to be a lifesaver.

(Rx) Ace-2 Inhibitor (unk dose), or 10,000 IU Vitamin D for a similar effect.

Histamine-1 Blocker, such as Benadryl, Claritin, or Zyrtec. (unk dose)

Histamine-2 Blocker, such as Tagamet, Zantac or Pepcid. (unk dose)

Ibuprofen. (unk dose)

Importantly, all ingredients are essential for reducing the SRD.
