Did people say that more alkalinized blood makes it harder for Chinese Virus to take hold?

Because my houseplants are suddenly looking like this, and I've gardened for years. Apparently my plants suddenly can't take up iron from the soil and one big cause is using water that's too alkaline. Aka city water, no other choice in the city on a budget.

If that's keeping more of us healthy, great. But my plants are pissed. I'll be getting some good vinegar, diluting and hoping that helps my poor plants.
