    Personally, I would avoid it but if you drink coffee regularly and get withdrawal symptoms that are too bad to cope with then just have enough to make them go away.

    Caffeine (like other stimulants) elevates levels of cortisol and adrenaline in the body which have an immunosuppressive effect and so could make it harder for your immune system to fight the virus. Not to mention covid is so stressful for the body in general already you probably shouldn't add to it with stimulants.

    But tbh it probably doesn't matter all that much especially if you already have tolerance so don't worry about it too much

    Hope you feel better soon <3

    Covid fucking sucks
