I would like to share some advice a medical doctor gave me to prepare for the virus. His daughter's family are in New York and pretty much all of them got sick with symptoms of the coronavirus. So he had to go there and take care of them, getting sick in the process, as well. Only his daughter tested positive as she was the only one tested due to lack of tests. It's safe to say, however, based on severity and nature of the symptoms, they all had coronavirus.
Hospitals should have the medication on this list but it's anybody's guess how long supplies, or available beds, will last.
1) The part you probably know - take a lot of vitamin C (at least 1000-2000mg daily), vitamin D, zinc and selenium to boost your immune system. Eat a balanced diet (meat, fruits, veggies, etc.), if possible, and don't go on any crazy diets that deprive you of certain foods. Keep yourself well-hydrated.
2) Stock up on cough-suppressing cough syrup e.g. Delsym or Rubitussin. Codeine is best but it is a controlled substance in a lot of states and may not be available. Codeine can also be dangerous when taken in high doses, and especially with alcohol. Delsym and Robitussin have the same active ingredient, but different concentration (Delsym is more concentrated).
This is to suppress the cough, not allowing the infection to spread to the lungs and cause pneumonia.
3) Find a wide-spectrum, multi-application antibiotic like doxycycline or azithromycin. This is to be taken if the infection does reach the lungs (and you develop murmurs) and pneumonia is inevitable. Doxycycline is generally considered a safer antibiotic with few to no side effects. Azithromycin was pulled at some point for causing heart palpitations, etc, so might not be widely, or at all, available in the US. If you can't find doxycycline, however, azithromycin or another substitute will do, as well.
Ideally, you would receive this treatment in a hospital. At some point, however, neither hospital beds, nor supplies might be available and you and your family may be left to figure it out on your own.

To be fair I think whenever people commit suicide they have underlying issues. It's not about being weak imo, it's about being sick.
I read what you said and I agree that people can build resilience through hardship. But another thing that stood out for me is that a hard economic situation turned to war.
And this is exactly what always happens. We think there is a lot of solidarity, but there isn't. As soon as people get hungry, darkness comes out. And it begins with local conflicts, but after a while one local gang leader or the other thinks of blaming another country or another ethnicity and there you have it, war.
People think it's stupid to worry about the economy when people die. It's not. In fact thinking about the economy now might prevent far more death and suffering.
Because as it stands now, a pandemic and the economic fallout that follows it have every chance of being the catalyst for WW III.

This is scary. From all the doctors and nurses that have died or been made seriously ill by it, it makes you wonder if there is something to do with high initial or continual level of virus exposure.
