There is a woman named Jini Patel Thompson, who has written an affordable guide about Oregano oil, and I would recommend contacting her if you have questions about Oregano Oil. You can see her website, here (and her contact info is on this page). I have never met her or even spoken with her (but I did get her Amazon guide on Oregano Oil). I appreciate that she has been giving it to her kids for many years (I saw this video, below, which showed me how to take it, and have been doing this for over 5 years). You can see that video below. You can also see that she has a lot of helpful videos on Youtube. She appears to be someone that genuinely cares about peoples' health. She does not make medical claims about Oregano oil and COVID, I am just recommending her as someone to call if you have questions about taking Oregano Oil. 
Antiviral efficacy and mechanisms of action of oregano essential oil and its primary component carvacrol against murine norovirus
- PMID: 24779581
- DOI: 10.1111/jam.12453
Abstract
Aims: To investigate the antiviral efficacy of oregano oil and its primary active component, carvacrol, against the nonenveloped murine norovirus (MNV), a human norovirus surrogate.
Methods and results: Along with an observed loss in cell culture infectivity, the antiviral mechanisms of action were determined in side-by-side experiments including a cell-binding assay, an RNase I protection assay and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Both antimicrobials produced statistically significant reductions (P ≤ 0·05) in virus infectivity within 15 min of exposure (c. 1·0-log10). Despite this, the MNV infectivity remained stable with increasing time exposure to oregano oil (1·07-log10 after 24 h), while carvacrol was far more effective, producing up to 3·87-log10 reductions within 1 h. Based on the RNase I protection assay, both antimicrobials appeared to act directly upon the virus capsid and subsequently the RNA. Under TEM, the capsids enlarged from ≤35 nm in diameter to up to 75 nm following treatment with oregano oil and up to 800 nm with carvacrol; with greater expansion, capsid disintegration could be observed. Virus adsorption to host cells did not appear to be affected by either antimicrobial.
Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that carvacrol is effective in inactivating MNV within 1 h of exposure by acting directly on the viral capsid and subsequently the RNA.
Significance and impact of the study: This study provides novel findings on the antiviral properties of oregano oil and carvacrol against MNV and demonstrates the potential of carvacrol as a natural food and surface (fomite) sanitizer to control human norovirus.

A milliliter is a very small amount of liquid.
Here is a milliliter of milk in a teaspoon.
It only fills the bottom of the teaspoon!
It would have been nice if Oregano Oil could have been had been listed on the CDC's page!

The classical pathway is primarily activated by the binding of C1 to antigen-antibody complexes containing the immunoglobulins IgM or IgG. The alternative pathway can be activated by IgA immune complexes and also by nonimmunologic materials including bacterial endotoxins, microbial polysaccharides, and cell walls. Activation of the classical pathway triggers an enzymatic cascade involving C1, C4, C2, and C3; activation of the alternative pathway triggers a cascade involving C3 and factors B and D and properdin. Both pathways result in cleavage of C5 and formation of the membrane attack complex, which in its final state creates a pore in the cell wall and causes cell lysis. Complement activation also results in the formation of many biologically active complement fragments that act as anaphylatoxins, opsonins, or chemotactic factors. Fragments resulting from proteolytic cleavage of complement proteins are designated with lower-case-letter suffixes, e.g., C3a.

If vaccines are effective because they are able to take a very small amount of a pathogen, introduce it into your body, and let your body slowly develop its own resistance to the virus over time (and not overload your system to the point where you die in the process), then I couldn't help wondering if we could achieve a similar result by reducing the viral load of a virus like the one that causes COVID-19.
Censorship is REAL, people.
Antiviral and Virucidal Activities of Oreganol P73-based Spice Extracts Against Human Coronavirus In Vitro: 121 Ijaz, Z Chen, S Raja, D Suchmann, P Royt, C Ingram, J Gray, G Paolilli
I use a brand of Oregano Oil called Telia Oils because it's the cheapest available, and it's also the strongest I know of (it comes from Greece and takes 2 weeks to arrive but is SO worth it) (regular oregano oil capsules tend to do nothing for me). PLEASE NOTE: You should check with your healthcare provider about taking oregano oil.

Oil of Oregano Proves Effective Against Coronavirus
Tuesday, 01 December 2009 19:00By Erik Goldman, Editor - Vol. 4, No. 4. Winter, 2003
(EDITOR'S NOTE JAN 30, 2020: The following article, originally published in the Winter 2003 edition of Holistic Primary Care and posted to our site several years later, has received a lot of attention recently, owing to worldwide public concern about China's coronavirus outbreak, and the Washington Post's citation of this piece as an example of "fake news" about coronavirus.
Our article briefly described a preliminary in vitro experiment assessing the impact of carvacrol-rich oregano oil alone, or in combination with other monoterpene-rich herb oils, on the proliferation of coronavirus in human cell cultures. This pathogen was in the news back in 2003, because it was identified as the trigger for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
The investigator, M. Khalid Ijaz, DVM, PhD, concluded that oregano oil can inhibit proliferation of coronavirus and reduce viral titers. However, he states clearly--as do we in our article--that this is early stage basic research, and that we would need an actual human trial before drawing any firm conclusion about the clinical role of oregano oil for coronavirus infection.
To the best of our knowledge, this research has not yet been done.
But it should be done. Given the epidemic potential of the current coronavirus outbreak, and the fact that the efficacy of existing antiviral drugs against this strain is largely unknown, we ought to study all potential options, even if they fall outside the scope of conventional drug-based medicine. A number of preliminary in vitro or animal studies have shown that compounds in oregano oil are virustatic and virucidal against several viral pathogens. There are plausible mechanisms of action. We should not rule out oregano oil simply because it is derived from an herb.
Oil of oregano may prove to be a valuable ally against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
A recent in vitro study indicates that the essential oil of this medicinal herb can destroy human coronavirus, thought to be the pathogen responsible for SARS, and completely stop its replication within 20 minutes of exposure.
The study was conducted by Dr. M. Khalid Ijaz, of Microbiotest, an independent microbiological testing lab in Sterling, VA. Dr. Ijaz incubated human coronavirus in MRC-5 cell lines with Oreganol P73, an olive-oil preparation of wild oregano, and with Oregacillin, a combination of wild oregano, wild sage, wild cumin and wild cinnamon oils. Both products are made by Physician's Strength/North American Herb and Spice, a company that specializes in medicinal essential oils from the Mediterranean.
The oregano oil alone reduced viral titers from over 5 million particles per ml at baseline, to 167 particles per ml within 15 minutes. At 20 minutes, the titers were down to 150 particles per ml. The Oregacillin combination reduced titers from over 5 million, to 133 particles per ml in 15 minutes. Within 20 minutes, they were reduced to non-detectable levels. The investigators noted that both preparations were able to halt viral replication within the host cells.
The in vitro findings need to be confirmed in human clinical trials, but they are compelling in that they show that oil of oregano, alone and in combination with other essential oils, have unequivocal virucidal and virustatic effects. Both Oreganol P73 and Oregacillin are available from Physician's Strength (800-243-5242).
On March 13 I wrote an article “Why Oregano Oil” and that I bought a bottle for every one of the family of workers at Wiggy’s. Today Kok and Pum his wife was at the house for lunch. She made it and she is as fine a cook as there is for Cambodian food. Anyway, Kok told me he doesn’t like taking the oregano oil but does, my response was if it keeps you healthy do as I have, gotten used to it.
I went on the internet and did a search of asking if oil of oregano has been tested against the coronavirus, and if you have read the article that starts this article you are reading what I found. Before doing this research, I was at my local vitamin cottage store and bought more oregano oil and “oregano”.
I would like to buy stock in a company that actually makes the stuff. Why the government doesn’t start giving out bottles to one and all so one and all can take preventative measures so one and all can get on with their lives.
Of course, oregano oil is not made by any pharmaceutical company is it?
I do not know how far and wide my readership is but all else left aside that I have written, this is to important to keep a secret. Tell all of your friends and anyone who will listen. You can not in any manner hurt yourself by consuming oregano in any of its forms.

Needless to say, I was getting desperate and decided to try oregano oil. I had heard about it before being into alternative medicine, but I had never had to use anything past my usual "illness routine" (elderberry, garlic, master tonic etc). I figured it would be worth a try. Instead of waiting for it to be delivered, I decided to drive to my nearest Whole Foods to have it in-hand immediately (even though it was nearly double the price there at $29.99). I asked the sales rep for the best oregano oil they sold, and she told me this was the one.
I started out by taking 2-3 drops under my tongue every few hours. Yes, it has a very strong/spicy flavor, but it didn't bother me. You can also place a few drops in water if the taste bothers you. Anyways, I could honestly tell it was working within the first few hours of taking it. This infection was particularly strong, so I ended up having to up my dosage to about 3-5 drops every 2-3 hours. About 36 hours later, my fever was gone and I started feeling like myself again. Thank God for this miracle product! After using the product, I can honestly say that I believe it is one of the main reasons that I got well. Who knows how long I would have been sick without it. I am very thankful that I was able to use this and will ALWAYS have several bottles on hand from now on. I will be rechecking my liver enzymes in a few weeks, so praying all has returned to normal!
UPDATE: My liver enzymes thankfully returned to normal within a few months!
Great product, lasts a long time and prevents co-pays at the doctors office! Highly recommended!
