Hello Dale,

Zinc, in combination with chloroquine, has been rumored to be
effective. How effective is unknown (or unstated).
Chinese studies have suggested the use of chloroquine shortens
the length of time for the disease to run its course, say four days
rather than ten or eleven. Side effects were not mentioned, and
only a small sample of patients were treated with this approach.
The use of zinc is the new sensation these days. A DIY approach,
allowing folks at home to "immunize" themselves from the virus by
taking these vitamins ahead of time so that if they catch the bug
the worst that can happen will be to suffer mild effects.
Just be sure to avoid zinc oxide, as it is impossible to absorb.
And never take over 40mg in a single day, otherwise bad things can
happen. Including loss of smell.

That's where zinc as a dietary supplement comes in.
Zinc picolante has the best absorbtion rate, and is inexpensive.
Can be found almost everywhere, including online.

Time to self-medicate. Hospitals all filled up. Not enough
ventilators. Not even enough test kits to know who is or is not
infected.

Well, we can only die once.
