A) Go to "3 More Ways to Beat Coronavirus" (https://www.realhealthmedical.com/2020/03/13/3-more-ways-to-beat-coronavirus/)
B) Go to "Vitamin C may be a life-saver" (https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/vitamin-c-may-be-a-life-saver-5544405.html) (This article exposes some of the establishment's efforts to conceal the benefits of Vit C, but it also seems to downplay the benefits itself.)
C) Read Primal Panacea by Thomas Levy, MD (ebook, PB formats)
D) Certain Vit C experts recommend avoiding Ester C because it supposedly doesn't provide as many benefits as ascorbic acid. Liposomal Vit C is supposedly the most effective non-IV form for increasing levels in the bloodstream, but it is expensive. So, ascorbic acid is the most cost-effective form for regular usage. A reasonable dose for ascorbic acid is to take 1 gram every 3.5 hours (it doesn't last long in the body), which is about 7 grams per day. If you feel like you're coming down with something, you can take more (you can't overdose on it).
   There are advantages to taking ascorbic acid in powder form, such as cost and the ability to get large amounts into your system quickly when you feel like you're coming down with something, to hit it hard and fast and nip it in the bud. To do this, mix two 1/8 teaspoons (a total of 1.25g) of ascorbic acid powder and 1/8 tsp of baking soda (you can scale up these amounts as desired, or just repeat until you feel that you've had enough) in about 1/4” of water in a glass, mix it and then let it fizz until it stops (to neutralize the acid to protect tooth enamel), which takes about 3 minutes with cool water and less time with warmer water. Then add more water and drink it, and rinse to be safe. A 1 KG bag of ascorbic acid powder costs $30 on Amazon as of this writing and would last about 6 months at 7 grams per day. I've also seen good deals for 1g capsules on Amazon ($15/300), but it would be expensive to use caps all of the time, and it seems to me that caps wouldn't increase the Vit C levels in your system as quickly as powder would.
E) Although taking Vit C evidently reduces the risk of developing COVID-19, the guidelines for reducing its spread should be followed until they are officially rescinded. If everyone took Vit C and if its IV form were routinely used for treating severe viral infections, the guidelines probably wouldn't be necessary.
