I would not use DE for C19. It doesn't go through the bloodstream, just the digestive system.
Ivermecton or Doxycycline, imho, will.
My brother flew to Africa last December (82 years old) Flew into 3 continents, visited 4 major cities in Kenya, .. rode a few matatus, and came home well after a little over a month.
Before the trip his doctor put him on Doxycycline.
Very interesting article below, particularly the last paragraph.

In some African villages, nearly everyone is infected with
Mansonella perstans, a parasitic worm that's remarkably hard to kill. It's resistant to standard anti-worm medications, but
researchers have learned that an old antibiotic can vanquish the tiny beasts — in a roundabout way.
The parasites are stuffed with a type of bacteria called wolbachia, and apparently they depend upon those microbes for their own survival. By killing the bacteria inside of the worms, doctors can destroy the worms themselves.
To test that concept, an international team recruited volunteers with
M. perstans infections from four villages in Mali, and gave 69 of them a dose of doxycycline each day. After one year, all but two of the patients who took the antibiotic were free from worms in their blood.
"Doxycycline is the first drug that has been shown to be effective in clearing Mansonella perstans parasites from the blood of infected people," said Amy Klion, a doctor at the National Institutes of Health who led the study. "The fact that the parasites were not detectable in the blood 3 years after the 6 week treatment suggests that doxycycline also had an
effect on the adult worms,
which live in the tissues surrounding the lungs, heart and abdomen."
Roughly 120 million people worldwide are
infected with filarial parasites. Many of those worms will fall after a single dose of albendazole and
ivermectin, but M. Perstans is too tough for both drugs. Thankfully, it's far less destructive than other types of nematodes. It usually results in itching, fatigue, and dermatitis.
Wolbachia have proven to be the Achilles' heel of nastier parasites too. Before Klion and her team showed that doxycycline can be used to treat the annoying worm infections, other doctors learned that
it is an effective way to eliminate their nasty cousins, the parasites that cause elephantiasis and river blindness.

Weekly Dose: doxycycline treats a host of human plagues, but it won't work forever Doxycycline continues to exert its effects for some time after being taken. This means it can be used not only as treatment, but also for prevention or “prophylaxis”.
Its most widespread use as prophylaxis is for tourists and other travellers (such as military personnel) going to tropical countries where it is used to
protect primarily against malaria. It may also provide additional protection from
common bacterial causes of diarrhoea.
To be effective in preventing infection, it needs to be taken once a day during the time the person is at risk.
Doxycycline is also active against a number of bacteria that could possibly be used as agents of “germ” warfare. This included, most notably,
anthrax. So it could be used as prophylaxis in military or other populations thought to be at risk of bio-warfare or following release of anthrax into the environment by terrorists.
