This article suggests lysine as an anti-viral and that lysine supplementation at 2000 mg daily helps to prevent SARS-CoV-2 symptomatic infection: Melano I, Kuo LL, Lo YC, Sung PW, Tien N, Su WC. Effects of basic amino acids and their derivatives on SARS-CoV-2 and influenza-A virus infection. Viruses. 2021 Jul 4;13(7):1301. doi: 10.3390/v13071301.
It should be noted that anti-inflammatories do not prevent or treat the inflammatory autoimmune diseases but only address "the symptoms". Improving life style choices (more exercise, reduce stress, eat more fruit and vegetables) but particularly stopping alcohol and sugar consumption would go along way to help address the cause of these inflammatory diseases. It is a difficult situation indeed, to resolve what the best course of action would be for someone with rheumatoid/osteo arthritis, given that longer term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is associated with an increased risk of heart attacks [Pepine CJ & Gurbel PA. Clinical Cardiology, July 2017]. The decision to stop statin use (statins can be considered as NSAIDs) is easier to make when used by otherwise healthy individuals. In the clinic, statins, tumeric and melatonin above 2 mgs per day prevented the ability to reverse immunosenescence. This is why I am saying one needs to 'halt' the use of anti-inflammatories (unless only used short term). Note that if you are in the hospital and in the hyperinflammatory stage with COVID-19, they will and should use potent anti-inflammatories. See FLCCC Alliance protocols.
I can't provide details (retired, personal details, and none of this was published). However I can tell you that I developed algorithms to interpret the amino acid profiles in terms of judging immunosenescence versus release of HERV-K102 particles and as well as measures of immunosuppression. Turmeric always gave high immunosuppression blocking particle production/release. We could not rebalance them until they stopped the turmeric. Same with statins and with melatonin over 2 mgs. Melatonin showed a very nice dose response 2 or less (no immunosuppression) 5 mgs moderate immunosuppression, 10 mgs high immunosuppression and 15 mgs off the charts.

Turmeric prevented the ability to reverse immunosenenscence?
Yes, consistently.
Any detailss? Studies? What are you seeing?
