After 2 years of being cautious, I’ve fallen and got COVID. Everyone says stay hydrated and drink lots of fluids. How does this help?

Our bodies need “rinsing out” so to speak. From just daily living for one thing. Food, impurities, medications all need water/liquid to evenly and correctly dissolve and be absorbed through our intestines. Our intestines are the main route nutrients and medicine get into our bloodstream and on to other organs that need fluid as well in order to operate correctly.
For example; if you get dehydrated your blood will thicken as it literally dries up and sometimes coagulate.
If this happens it means your blood needs water to be able to flow. If it doesn’t get it, your body will not be able to manufacture plasma for red and white blood cells. Dehydration can kill quickly. Especially in children and old people.
