(12,712 posts)That was a short abstract and pretty much sums up what is being done in China and now, South Korea.
I have supplied some more technical sources that include studies, and I have read several of them prior to posting. Have you read them yet? I would like to hear your response to the findings overall and how they relate to the information being provided. If you have a problem with those sources, that's not my problem.
There are many viable sources. Of course, you are aware as to why S. Korea is using zinc in combination with chloroquine, right? I mean, the basis for that has to do with the delivery of zinc ions, (see zinc ions and cell metabolism). They are basing their treatments on studies, not magic. We still have to get more conclusive results from them. I am stressing that they are not basing their tests and what they are choosing for treatment on what you are calling bullshit. Is that clear? There are sound reasons for them as per the studies provided.
What is your point though? Are you claiming that the health professionals and the research in China and South Korea is only woo and bullshit, (Chinese government conspiracy)? Or, are these professionals basing their tests and treatments on "bullshit"? I think that is more important. They have a database of over 5000 potential drugs to use right now, as well. Thankfully there is a good effort to collect and correlate studies based on their implications and significance since there isn't much time to respond to a new strain.
So, what is it?
