There's no need to take zinc unless you start coming down with symptoms.

Theres general health benefits to zinc, specifically for wound healing and skin condition. Not related to Corona however afaik.

You can eat certain foods to get zinc, as well.

One thing I'm doing differently when this is all over is really really taking care of my health.

8 glasses of water a day. Making sure I'm getting my intake of minerals and vitamins. Sleeping 9 hours a night. Going outside alot more.

Zinc is important for general immune support but AFAIK it doesn't have any direct impact on COVID-19. Vitamin D is specifically related to susceptibility to respiratory infections and many people are deficient in it due to the winter so it is definitely a major supplement to focus on, especially in the Northern Hemisphere.

Note of course that taking these supplements doesn't make you immune, nor does it cure anything, but at the very least it helps you stay on your guard against exposure to the virus if it does happen.

Zinc can disrupt a viruses ability to replicate. Now, the amount of zinc needed to do this in the body is likely toxic and comes with other, very serious, problems, however there is reason to think that Zinc Lazenges and syrups used as cold remedies could do something, as they have been proven to work on other upper respiratory viruses. The key is to use them before the virus migrates to the lungs, and it might provide some benefit. If you use them before developing the breathing problems and pneumonia, it could (hypothetically) prevent more serious infections. Once it's in your lungs, however, they are useless.

So basically, as soon as you develop a cough or sore throat, start popping the lazenges at no more than the recommended dailies. At worst it does nothing, but if you catch it early enough you might prevent further infection of the lower Respiratory system.

I need to drink more water myself, though I mostly already subsist on coffee and water anyway.

I do too, it's also got good amounts of magnesium apparently, but I may need to fact-check that.

did somebody say... xocolatl?

[Vetalia]

I think it's mostly an insurance policy against people who don't act this way.

So far I've been batting 1.000 against any respiratory infections this year, I really think the Vitamin D and zinc supplementation have made a big difference.

I had an upper respiratory infection in January, but I'm over it now. It wasn't serious, but it did keep me home. Very uncomfortable.

It might have honestly been COVID-19...

Sound advice.

Take Vitamin D too!

[Ethel mermania]

I think you'll be fine. Just keep your distance, wash your hands and listen to the public health officials.

And take Vitamin D and zinc. I cannot stress this enough.

It's good for everything, really. Also take magnesium in one of its more available forms.

[Luminesa]

200,000 people is roughly the population of Baton Rouge.

[Vetalia]

I bet there will be less than 25,000 deaths, tops.
