New York revises the death toll to add 3,700 people whom they suspect could have had coronavirus when they died.

The numbers given assume that China's numbers where very much higher also. Minimum 145,000 deaths based on Italy and Spain populations and that was without any exponential consideration.

If 20 million people have died by the end of the year, i won't be saying it's a "miniscule amount of death's" anymore.

Zinc isn't a key factor in destroying the virus as far as I can tell.

Just hearing on the UK Sky news this morning about a 98 year old lady who was in hospital for 5 days with the Chrojan Virus (Covid-19) and she had breathing difficulties etc but managed to recover and is now at home convalescing.
Here is a wild speculation about the virus.
It appears that the virus is in control when it comes to whether it kills you or not
I suppose so. Could it even be diet, heavy on the Vit C & D, kiwi fruit, honey, ginger and zinz supps. Who knows.

Or could another medicine she was taking have helped?
Lupus patients already take HCQ or chloroquine, Blood pressure patients already take ARB and calcium inhibitors
So saying "a 98 woman survived" is about as useful as counting people who died WITH covid-19 infection as the same as people who died OF covid-19 complications.
WHO seems to want it to be 1 number but eventually for herd immunity they will be counting 70-80% of all deaths to covid-19.
Have there been recorded cases whereby a person was known to have a strong healthy immune system but died? There has certainly been cases of very fit people. I recall a 39 year old Italy runner who was pretty fit but died of the Chrojan!

Or, she had a very healthy immune system and no underlying conditions.

I was listening to talk radio in Spain this morning and they said there was evidence that there were more cases where it was cooler as opposed to warmer and a particular temp range had the lesser cases. An example was Madrid and the basque country because they were in that range of between 9-15c I think. Cant remember the exact ranges given. Were it was outside that range and higher there were a lot less cases. Something or nothing!

So it looks like the corvid 19 virus can survive at very high heat to the point of boiling. Meaning that it may not be a seasonal pandemic and may continue to reproduce year round. The types of bacteria floating in the air may change with the seasons as well as the usual cold and flu seasons but corvid 19 may be there alongside with them the entire time regardless of temperatures.
Coronavirus can survive long exposure to high temperature, a threat to lab staff around world: paper
French scientists had to bring the temperature to almost boiling point to kill virus
Results have implications for the safety of lab technicians working with the virus

The new coronavirus can survive long exposure to high temperatures, according to an experiment by a team of French scientists.
Professor Remi Charrel and colleagues at the Aix-Marseille University in southern France heated the virus that causes Covid-19 to 60 degrees Celsius (140 Fahrenheit) for an hour and found that some strains were still able to replicate.
The scientists had to bring the temperature to almost boiling point to kill the virus completely, according to their non-peer-reviewed paper released on bioRxiv.org on Saturday. The results have implications for the safety of lab technicians working with the virus.
NEW YORK (AP) - New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said state residents will be required to wear face coverings when they are out and coming in close contact with other people. The new mandate will require a mask or face covering on busy streets, public transit or any situation where people cannot maintain six feet of social distancing.
