Agree! As we age, we lose zinc. So the zinc is very important, but don't over do it.
Dr Zelenko ( Dr. Zev Zelenko @zev_dr) says to substitute Quercetin, if you can't get the hydrxychloroquine. There isn't as much research on Quercetin, but like HCQ it is a zinc ionophore.
“ Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,”
Our 35-year-old son got Covid19 with fever and chills the first day and respiratory and a lot of coughing by the second day. We had gotten him HCQ, Z pack and zinc, he had it on hand and when he found out the correct dosage he took it , he quit coughing in 24 hours and in three days he was well. It’s disgusting that the governors, the medical boards, the Pharmacy boards and the Democrats have made this medication, a very common, old and widely used medication, a political football.
