Fasting is even better, and you have the control to do it yourself unlike when you are in the hospital cared for by moronic doctors.
Some of the myriad benefits of fasting on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all evidence based:
Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plague are absorbed into the body.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased.
Blood pressure is dramatically lowered very quickly when you fast which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus.
The hormone Leptin is a cytokine and Leptin resistance and high leptin levels impair the ability of the body to regulate the immune system. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half!
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state.
It stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses.
Deep ketosis virtually eliminates inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention!
T and B immune cells retreat to the bone marrow and are renewed at a genetic level, each cell having all its DNA repaired. This supercharges your immune system and makes your cells young again. On top of all this, fasting encourages the direct apoptosis (death) of infected cells, shortcutting the typically length and messy process of killing them off through macrophages which can kill off bystander cells and is part of how cytokine storms cause issues..
Your body releases interferon which is also triggered by the body during viral attacks to shut down the replication ability of the surrounding cells and stop infections.
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body actually recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire system. In this process many white blood cells and mitochondria fuse together and the working parts of damaged cells are kept while the bad ones are recycled. Stem cells also release into the bloodstream at this point.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging.
Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly.
Pregnant or nursing women should not fast, nor should people with pancreatic tumors or hypoglycemia. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution. People with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind simply break the fast and seek advice.

I think it will work when used early and properly but you don't have much choice whether you get it or not. You DO have the choice to fast however, and this will immensely boost your immune system and lower blood sugar and pressure very quickly which will make you much more likely to have a good outcome with this affliction.
