COVID-19: Preventing Immunity Storm

A report I previously posted suggests COVID-19 is killing some people by damaging their lungs:

Liu's team published a paper on an autopsy they conducted in the Journal of Forensic Medicine on Tuesday.

The paper said there was apparent damage to the patient's lungs. An excess production of mucus spilled out of the alveoli, indicating COVID-19 causes an inflammation response that damages deep airways and pulmonary alveoli. 

The patient, an 85-year-old man, exhibited similar pathological changes to those caused by SARS and MERS. Fibrosis in his lungs was not as serious as was seen in SARS patients, but an exudative reaction was more apparent, possibly due to the short course of his disease. 

News about the paper went viral on Chinese social media platforms on Friday. 

Some news reports said that Liu's team's autopsies showed that sputum bolt is one the main reasons that caused COVID-19 patients' deaths. Some medical staff have used sputum aspirators for patients based on the results, which led to a decline by half in the number of deaths in Wuhan on Wednesday.

Well, here is a report which claims to know how to AVOID something they call "an immunity storm". I'm no medical expert, but it appears to me they're talking about a phenomenon similar to what was found in the Chinese autopsies (h/t Paul Craig Roberts):

I have no idea whether or not this will work as a way to ameliorate COVID-19 or any other viral infection, but I'm going to read these recommendations carefully and implement any which make sense to me.
