COVID-19 prevention: If the virus is in your mouth, throat, etc, you are infected. Once that happens, it cannot make any difference whether or not it is swallowed. Stomach acid might indeed kill some virus particles, but not the vast majority that remain in the upper respiratory tract. Dry vs wet mouth, or fluid intake, probably has no effect at all in preventing COVID-19.
