Now that the American Heart Association recommends, since early this year, low-carbing and very-low carbing (aka Keto diets), and a Yale study in 2019 found keto diets significantly aided mice when infected by flu, do you think the covid-keto related studies should be restarted since the Yale study results appear to generalise to other lung-related viral infections (eg, mucous effect inhibiting viral ingress, and immuno boost)?

This is in the context of Keto diets being smeared as "No, keto diets won't stop you getting covid" and effectively ignored as a possible treatment, while studies that were proposed never happen. As far as I know there were no keto-covid studies in the end.
