Abstract in brief

Zinc plays a crucial role in supporting immune health and reducing susceptibility to infections like COVID-19, partly due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Zinc deficiency is common worldwide, caused by lifestyle choices and preexisting conditions, and can influence the severity and recovery of COVID-19, prompting ongoing clinical trials exploring zinc as a prophylactic or adjunct therapy.
Understanding the symptoms of zinc deficiency, how they overlap with other conditions, and identifying risk groups are essential for better clinical interventions and improving human immune resilience during pandemics.]

@Jerusalem_Post @MaayanJaffe Did you know the majority of ppl dying from covid are over 70? DYK that ppl over 70 commonly have zinc deficiency? DYK that one of zinc deficiency’s symptoms is loss of taste & smell? (Also a major symptom of c19!) Zinc perhaps? Just theorizing.

@yolly1234 @GregHuntMP @ScottMorrisonMP If there is not a zinc deficiency clearly zinc wont be needed. Thats obvious and currently discussed. However there is demand for zinc if phospholipid walls are to be opened for drug entry. https://t.co/7uBA0Ma9IV
