Abstract in brief
The article discusses how probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria, might help boost the immune system and reduce the severity of COVID-19 infections.
It suggests that probiotics could potentially lower virus replication and improve gut health, which is linked to overall immune response.
The text emphasizes the need for more research to confirm the effectiveness of probiotics as a complementary approach in managing the pandemic.

See tweet below about a study recently published about the gut microbiome and Covid. In May 2020, the paper linked in my tweet was published, and the UK Government was asked by an MP to consider it. They said "meh".
We told them, but they ignored it.

In addition, use of recognized prebiotics (e.g., fructans, galactans) to enhance propagation of probiotic strains and indigenous beneficial microbes should be recommended as part of the overall strategy to flatten the curve

In summary, orally administered probiotic strains can reduce the incidence and severity of viral RTIs.
And a reminder:
Despite how little coverage of #probiotics treatment for #Covid has filtered through to public awareness, it made sense right from the start

Since the Coronavirus is coming closer and closer to you, the only line of defense apart from mask & sanitizing, distancing..... is Probiotics like Kombucha or any diary free fermented foods.
