Somebody has obviously seen a rerun of “The Andromeda Strain” once too often. :(

Viruses cannot survive an alkaline state. Increase your blood Ph and viruses are of no concern. That’s something the medical field will NEVER tell you because baking soda is 1000 times cheaper than vaccines and nobody profits.

These are the things that happen if you actually manage to get you blood pH to be alkiline than normal:
Confusion (can progress to stupor or coma)
Hand tremor
Light-headedness
Muscle twitching
Nausea, vomiting
Numbness or tingling in the face, hands, or feet
Prolonged muscle spasms (tetany)

It seems to me you are trying to get the Darwin award.
