How can you avoid a virus getting into your lungs

How can you avoid a virus getting into your lungs?

Viola Vogel, Professor at the Laboratory of Applied Mechanobiology, talks to the ETH Podcast about how soap, ginger, rinsing our mouths and gargling can make us more resistant against viruses – and reduce the risk of infection with the coronavirus. And she also has one urgent request: “To everyone out there who is smoking right now, take this crisis seriously and stop smoking. It might be the thing that helps you to survive.”
