We're pretty much on lock down with social distancing. We can still go to the park or for walks but no close proximity to anyone. There goes a lot of sex livesThat's inline with the "doubling rate" assessment in the MITRE paper a few pages back which indicated the US had the worst doubling rate of all assessed countries (about 1.8 days - very short, leading to exponential growth). That means if your county has 13 cases today (Tues), by Thurs it'll be 26, by Saturday 52 and on Monday 104...give it another week or so, if no direct action is taken, your county may well be struggling with thousands of new cases every day.
Zinc is a metal used in rust prevention, we need to galvanize ourselves into being precise with the names of chemical compounds.The same goes with Zinc which you referenced as well. Zinc in too high of a dosage is toxic.

Zinc? Or Zinc acetate, zinc gluconate? Licking a sheet of galvanized steel wont do you any good at all ever.Yes, and is also used a vitamin supplement.

Ok, no problem. Just thought I might be able to help friends from un necessary suffering or perhaps worse in light of the current situation. Even though nutrition and medicine are one of my life long interests and areas of study I wont refrence them again. It will be difficult when someone here is sick and I know something that will almost certainly help but I will hold my tounge so to speak.I'm not going off any deep end. In your first post you referenced small sample sizes and specific medications to combat a virus that have not been verified. Despite the FDA, CDC, and Doctors saying further tests have to be done to determine its effectiveness and safety when treating the coronavirus, so it is not recommended. It is a drug with dangerous side affects. Chloroquine is not a vitamin you should tip back 3 or 4 a day to ward off viral infection. Despite these warnings, our wonderful leader went out and ran his mouth telling people he endorsed it, and now several people are dead or in critical condition in the USA and Nigeria.

My point is tell people all you want to drink water, eat vegetables and fruits, but leave the actual medicinal advice to the experts, i.e. the doctors. Something that neither you or I are.

Do you think it is wise to tell people to pop a few pills to ward off a virus that have not been properly tested and confirmed to work?
I was referencing other situations like a ketogenic diet for diabetes for example.So despite Doctors saying that it is uncertain and further testing is required, you know you that it will certainly help?
Gnomey , you are an actual doctor, who went to years of medical school, and works as a medical professional, do you think it is wise to tell people to pop a few pills to ward off a virus that have not been properly tested and confirmed to work?
That would depend on whether said pills were available to me, and how sick I am. BUT (more to your point) I wouldn't suggest to others to take said pills, but study the matter the best you can and decide for yourself what to do.

Not saying im any medical genius or any smarter than anyone else. Its just ive read alot of literature/ studies that others may not have due to having several chronic conditions that I have been able to cure by the way, Diabetes, high blood pressure and GIRD. It took over a decade of study and experamentation with diet etc but I no longer suffer from those ailments. I just cant stand to see others suffer if I have been through the same thing and know what will help or even if its not something ive been through and I think I know something that might help. What kind of person would I be if I kept such information to myself.
I will however keep any such knowledge to myself in the future.
I never said anybody SHOULD take anything. And I never mentioned pills unless one considers a LOW DOSE zinc supplement a pill. I summarised and aggregated research, readily available to anyone if they care to look.......Thought it might help.That would depend on whether said pills were available to me, and how sick I am. BUT (more to your point) I wouldn't suggest to others to take said pills, but study the matter the best you can and decide for yourself what to do.
Ok, No problem. You asked me a question in your post so I answered you honestly. I said I would not and have not suggested anything additional helpful in regards to diet etc.One final last time...
You have no clue what will get rid of coronavirus. Neither do I. Neither doanyone else. You are not a doctor, and we will not have people getting possible ill advice on how to prevent or treat a novel virus. That is the job of a person's doctor.
I have consulted with the other staff of this forum and they agree.
