Saw a video from a couple that was invected while in quarantine on a cruise ship in the orient. They were moved from the ship to a hospital when their temperatures rose. They were seniors from Great Britain and were up on thier shots. The lady got mild pneumonia, the gentleman accute pneumonia. They were told it was viral so were only given vitamins and a good diet with the expectations that since it was viral and not bacterial their bodies would fight it off just fine. The man's blood oxygen droppend to 93% and was told if it dropped below 92 he would be put on a ventilator. He did breathing exercises and his percentage rose to 99% and he immediately got better. Now they are just waiting for the remnants of the virus to not show positive in their nasal cavities then they can be released.

Again they were not treated with anything but vitamins and good nutrition and letting the virus run it's course.

Everyone on the cruise ship were given thermometers and told to check their temp 4 times a day and report if it was any higher than normal. They reported their temp going just to the limit and were rushed to a hospital and went thru 4 hours of testing with only their lungs showing any problems. They said they felt fine, except the man had shortness of breath when he tried to walk from the ship to the ambulance.

So I would think that if you can keep from being infected for a few times the time it takes the virus to run it's natural course you will be safe.
