Same with meth. Anecdotally, apparently users are resistant to respiratory viruses. The expected covid outbreak on the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver never materialized, despite widespread lack of masks and social distancing .

I can't imagine anyone is too eager to do that study. If I was covid health care worker, I'd probably be on a low dose of amphetamines right now. Purely as prophylaxis, of course.

Great, but meth isn't the drug of choice for the DTES so how is this relevant?
