These authors express: “Active virus replication in the upper respiratory tract puts the prospects of a virus containment in perspective.”
On another front, I checked on the recommendation of another doctor of doing frequent “salt water gargles” to help dislodge viruses from the throat before they migrate to the lungs. This doctor mentioned the alkaline pH stabilizing effect of salt water. Found some evidence that it may help as follows:

Will gargling with salt water kill the coronavirus? There are no studies that I’ve found that say that gargling with salt water will kill a virus. But, there is some research that says that gargling with saltwater could potentially help prevent certain viruses from going down into the lung.
There is also some research that shows that certain viruses can replicate in your throat before moving to the lungs. They found a high rate of replication and viral shedding during the first week. It would appear that gargling with salt water would help dilute the concentration of viruses if there are viruses there.
One interesting study talked about the antiviral innate immune response using salt to support a certain chemical in your immune cells that could potentially kill the virus.
There are certain enzymes that can convert chloride into hypochlorous acid, which is very antimicrobial. It’s been known to kill viruses. Certain immune cells, like phagocytes, actually pull in viruses and bacteria and expose those microbes to the acid. They basically make and use bleach, hydrogen peroxide, and even a certain antibiotic, as well as release enzymes, to kill off these microbes.
What you’re really doing is giving the immune system raw material to make weapons.
Saltwater gargle research:
1. 130 people gargled with water, which was efficient in preventing upper respiratory tract infections in healthy people.
2. A Japanese study on 20,000 children found no outbreaks of influenza or fever infections during the process of the study.
3. In 2010 they found that washing the throat with saltwater could be considered the most effective measure for upper respiratory infections.
4. In 2013 there was a study done with 338 people using saltwater, and they found that people are less likely to get an upper respiratory infection.
What to do:
Dissolve 1/2 tsp. of sea salt in 8 oz. of warm water. Gargle with this saltwater mixture a few times a day.
