Are there any foods i can eat to boost my immune system and ward off sars-cov-2?

Foods: I don't know of any foods to ward off any virus, but there are many that will adversely affect your immune system. It's simple logic. Eat a healthy well hounded diet. Avoid overeating, foods high in carbs and fats. There are plenty of sites that will instruct you on a healthy diet.

Please repost: Please repost & clarify what you mean by “boosting,” & why you think your immune system needs it. Cellular or humoral immune system? If humoral, IgM, IgG, IgA or IgE antibodies? If cellular, granulocytes, lymphocytes, plasma cells, monocyte-macrophage system? B-lymphocytes or T-lymphocytes? Helper cells, suppressor cells, natural killer cells? — You see why the term “boosting” is meaningless?

Good morning doctors. Two questions. 1..if doctors can determine if someone has covid, why can't they use that information to stop it? 2..why is covid19 "staying around" longer than did previous viruses, like SARS, H1N1...why can't it end like these?
