Zinc is the "silver bullet" for the virus. It disrupts the replicase (enzyme) from making more single stranded RNA viruses. The key is to get the zinc past the phospholipid bilayer via ion channel which zinc is an ion. Quercetin, check Amazon, is an ionophore...meaning, it opens the ion channel for zinc to enter infected cell, and disrupt the virus replication process.
Outside the US, Hydroxychloroquine was equally used for diagnosed patients with mild to severe symptoms whereas in the US it wasmost commonly used for high risk diagnosed patients
37% of physicians who have treated COVID-19 patients believe Hydroxychloroquine is the most effective therapy of a list of 15 options

Everyone with half a brain knows mask work.
The government lies to you saying they do not work for you but every healthcare worker needs them. I understand why but it is a laughable lie.
Everything is anecdotal unless you were the one conducting the tests .
Yes.
If I told you to take zinc supplements because they lessen the impact of a viral infection, you would quite rightly say where are the trials to prove your statement.
Actually there are various controlled studies about zinc and it's efficacy for various things.
Well their aren't any because a simple zinc supplement is the last thing the people financing the trials want to here.

The higher death rate has to do with the spread of the virus before any measures were taken, and also to the effectiveness of the methods chosen.
China built new hospitals, virtually imprisoned the populations for a few weeks, and had massive campaigns to wash everything down with biocides, on top of the things the US is doing.
The drugs work, but only a little bit. You need to do more, faster, and more fully, before the virus takes hold of all the population.
The consequences of not doing those things are far worse than the advantages.
So in this study Zinc was given at the onset of the cold, in this trial zinc gluconate , at the end of the study it was found it significantly reduced the duration.
So as far as I am concerned if someone who has some skin in the game says anything I tend to listen.
Skin in the game is a phrase made popular by renowned investor Warren Buffett referring to a situation in which high-ranking insiders use their own money to buy stock in the company they are running. The aphorism is particularly common in business, finance, and gambling, and is also used in politics.

Healthcare workers need to wear masks because they might have sars-cov2, or other infectious things that they might pass on.
The primary reason they need the masks more then you is because THEY are the ones on the front lines, they need to be protected because they are the ones who can and will bring this under control and are the ones treating the sick.
You don't need 500 masks for your self. They go through multiple masks every day, as they are only effective for a few hours.
The government isnt lying to you, they are hoping youre intelligent enough to understand why a healthcare worker needs healthcare ppe more then you, a non health-care civilian.
You're worried about wearing a mask.
Let me ask you a few things to show you the pointlessness of you wearing one.
Are you covering your eyes? Because the infection gets in from there too.
Are you constantly touching your face? Picking your nose? Picking your ear?
Do you regularly wash your hands for 30 seconds with soap? I bet half the time you use a toilet you don't wash your jands afterwards, like most people dont.
When you've been out in public during this pandemic and return home, do you leave your shoes outside? Do you spray them with disinfectant?
Do you strip your clothes off immediately and wash them, and then jump in the shower?
Do you sanitize your car?
Do you sanitize door handles fridge doors, keyboards remote controls, and other common touch/use surfaces and items?
I guarantee the answer to most of that is a No.
So what good do you think wearing a face mask is going to do you?
The problem isnt the government lying, its not even what they are saying.
The problem is most people have poor hygeine to begin with. Most dont wash hands after going to the toilet.
Now everyone is panicking because subconsciously they know all that.
And if you doubt what Im saying about healthcare workers needing their proper ppe, it comes straight from friends who are doctors and nurses. Go try speaking to them.
Try speaking to those in France who are told to reuse their masks because there's no more, because China bought everything in January.
