taking zantac is NOT gonna be the thing that kills you and me.

Neither is this virus.

Something will, but not those things :)

I had a life-threatening pituitary tumor that had to be removed surgically. That led to a loss of mineralocorticoid adrenal function, which has to be remedied by hydrocortisone pills three times a day. Those have side effects which include excessive stomach acid production. Thus the regular use of Zantac for years, which — except for the increased cancer risk — was superior to the cimetidine, famotidine, and carbonate antacids I use now — to keep from having stomach acid burn holes in my gut.
