I have been trying to find information on how people recover from Corvid-19 - i mean at a biological process level
Seems a search engine fixation on how to catch the disease , how many die , what to do to reduce infection but nothing on how the body defeats the SARS-CoV-2 virus
Anyone out there had any luck in finding any information ?

I think icy* used clinical proof number 1 " common sense "

Doesn't make any sense to me, once it enters the respiratory system you're done, no amount of flushing will wash it away.

The virus enters the body via the nose, mouth or eyes. It is very likely that it would first enter the lungs (through inhalation) and then the blood. From the blood it may travel to other organs, including vital organs. So from where is water washing the virus into the stomach?

maybe keep using eye drops as a preventive measure too,LOL, it can enter there too

The respiratory system as defined by the lungs was not the issue , just the mouth and throat - the virus seems to need a critical mass to overwhelm the natural defenses ( pending a successful immune response ) - so i think the thought is to reduce the mass by dislodging any virus from the mouth and throat for chemical treatment further down , particularly if one suffers a raw throat due to other health issues

How often does one breathe? you'd have to take a drink every few seconds if you thought it would do any good
Once any amount of the virus is in your mouth.. the breath you take draws it into your lungs straight away
think about it

As I understand it, the virus is mostly transmitted from the hand to the mouth and nose. Hence the need to wash hands often and thoroughy.
From there it would enter the lungs via the trachea, as it would also, if inhaled.
However, frequent sips of water would flush the virus down the oesophagus and into the stomach, before it could make it's way to the the lungs.
Gastric acids in the stomach would destroy the virus.
I haven't heard or read anything about the virus entering the bloodstream. That's a new one on me.
It's a respiratory virus.

Try that 3 times a day for a week and evaluate how you feel - is a sum total of pathologies that determine patient outcome. real people real cases
