Cannabidiol and Terpene Formulation Reducing SARS-CoV-2 Infectivity Tackling a Therapeutic Strategy

I wonder if those who smoke pot and eat mangoes are more resistant to Covid-19. I love mangoes, they're my favorite fruit when they are correctly ripened, and depending on the variety, although I've never smoked pot. I believe mangoes by themselves may be protective. Unfortunately the United States is mango deficient. It's increasingly hard to get good mangoes--South Florida is the only place in the continental United States that grows mangoes, and the output has been reduced ever since hurricane Andrew, and certain diseases have affected some of the best varieties in South Florida. However there are thousands of varieties around the world, about 2000 alone in India, which has the most, but mangoes are found throughout the tropics. Early in the pandemic, I attempted to find a correlation between mango producing countries and lower infection rates, and there was a rough correlation, but the data was limited at that time. It would be interesting to do another comparison now.
