I agree with your point but:
NFAT5 being a "master regulator" of the immune system, it also controls other things regarding macrophages: for example NO production and probably autophagy (via LL-37 production) which might help clearing them if they are infected.
Ultimately, people die of the infection even if we call that a cytokine storm (no infection, no cytokine storm). Someone infected wants an active and potent immune system and my hypothesis is that fasting is able to provide that with innate immunity in spite of some T cells clearing.
