There's evidence that's now more readily available indicating eating certain types of animal proteins can certainly have a positive impact on the outcome of infection. It might not prevent infection but it certainly looks to play a role in reducing the more severe outcomes.
It's Vitamin D and aside from Sun exposure animal protein is the best source.

Another factor is insulin and leptin resistance. This degrades the innate immune system and increases inflammatory response, both very bad if one does contract COVID-19. Low carb and high fat diets, keto being an extreme example, can be very beneficial in re-balancing and then maintaining healthy insulin and leptin responses.
Yes, one can supplement Vitamin D but getting it naturally through nutrition via a low carb-high fat diet has the added benefit of combating metabolic syndrome, and that's at the bottom of a host of chronic disease and most of the comorbidities associated with COVIC-19.
