My hope

I went to Nagoya city on a business trip yesterday. Nagoy is in Aichi prefecture that is the second largest number of infected people with the new coronavirus in Japan. My wife gave me a pack of vitamin supplements before I left home so that I could build up my resistance for the virus by getting them constatnly. What a kind wife in the world she is, I thought.
When I left home, she said, "If you give me the virus, I will kill you!"

I would be the first person in the world who is killed by a family member ahead of the coronavirus if I got infected. I hope not I have the virus.


昨日、出張で名古屋市に行って来ました。名古屋は愛知県にあり、日本で二番目に新型コロナウィルスの感染者が多い所です。出かける前に妻がビタミン剤を1袋くれました。しきりにビタミン剤を摂って抵抗力をつけるようにとのことでした。なんて優しい妻なんだろうと思いました。
出かけるときに妻は言いました。「コロナを私に移したら殺すからね!」

私がコロナに感染したら、コロナよりも先に家族に殺される世界で最初の人間になるかもしれません。
コロナにかかってないことを祈ります。

The word resistance implies there is something being opposed; using the word 'against' will make it clear what is opposing your resistance - the virus. You can also use the word 'to': "... I could build up my resistance [to] the virus...." The word 'to' will refer to the purpose of building your resistance. 'For' also refers to purpose, but it is used when there is some goal or someone is receiving/benefiting from your action(s).

Here are some examples:
-I bought a gift [for] my mother.
-I am getting stronger [for] boot camp.
-I completed the homework [for] my class.

I also recommend erasing the last part of the sentence. In this sentence, you use the word 'by' to explain how you are fighting the virus, but we already know how you are fighting the virus because it is the reasoning to why your wife gave you vitamins. If you did not mention the vitamins, you could say: "I am building up my resistance against the virus [by] taking vitamins."

What a kind wife in the world she is, I thought.

When I left home, she said, "If you give me the virus, I will kill you!

I would be the first person in the world who isto be killed by a family member ahead ofbefore the coronavirus if I got infected.

I hope I do not I have the virus.

'It' means the coronavirus here

とのこと - is basically something you heard or were told

If you want to keep that nuance, then I would say something like:

I was told that if you constantly eat vitamin supplements, then you can build up your resistance to it.

What a kind wife in the world she is, I thought.

WBut when I left home, she said, "If you give me the virus, I will kill you!"

Usually people say you shouldn't start a sentence with 'but', but I think it is acceptable.

If I got infected with the coronavirus, then I would be the first person in the world who is killed by a family member ahead of the coronavirus if I got infectedrather than the virus.

I hope not I have the virusI don't get it.

Your wife is kind and strong. I hope you don't get it too. Drinks lots of hot things and constantly wash your hands. Also remember to not touch your face! If I don't see a journal entry from you for a long period of time, I will definitely message you to see if you are okay. lol

Thank you so much for correcting my English and a good advice! Yes she is very strong. But she was quiet and cute before we got married. It was a very long time ago.
