Question: is it a good idea to take Emergen-C which is full of vitamin C and other immune-boosting agents while sitting at home during this pandemic wondering if and when I am going to catch this Covid-19? Also, is it just me or are the death rates rising dramatically?

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice
Taking emergen -C which contains 1000mg vitamin C and other vitamins such as D and zinc is a very good idea because it will boost your immunity.
Unfortunately, the death rates are increasing dramatically taking count that death rate was about 2%in China now is about 8% in Italy and Spain. Also, Italy didn't take the social distance immediately and it was a mistake.
Being self-isolated and avoiding unessential movements is necessary. Going to self-isolation, quarantine, wash hands keeping very good hygiene is essential.

I hope, I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
