Abstract The recent outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is now officially declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. As of now, there is no known effective pharmaceutical agent against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, several precautionary measures have been prescribed to prevent further spread of the virus, which include avoidance of social gatherings, proper handwashing, frequently disinfecting of used items and surfaces and so on. More recent studies have highlighted the possibility of treating patients infected with the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus with chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, of which mechanism of action is not completely understood. We seek to draw the attention of the scientific community to the possibility of drastically reducing the effects of the virus on the affected patients and improving clinical trials outcome through the synergistic action of zinc and chloroquine in patients suffering from the coronavirus disease.

This is apparently just released just today.

Apparently another datapoint saying Zinc is important.

Yeah, what I’ve seen shows the zinc interferes with the virus’s attack on iron in the hemoglobulism.

Using zinc to treat a coronavirus, where have I heard of that before?

Any bets on a pharma company taking Hydroychloroquine for pennies a dose and zinc for pennies a dose and turing it into a combined pill for $100 per dose?

Jokes aside, there IS a biochemical reason that hydroxychloroquine is ineffective without zinc.

I was banging my head on my table every time I saw a story about HQ without zinc in the study.

Why it shortens colds absent any other drug is a mystery to me (and the experts).

Yes, I know. hydroxychloroquine and zinc are weapons in this war like a battering ram and a bayonet. Each has their role in the battle.

Wow! Thank you for posting this.

Dr. Zelenko hits every mark. He takes all the bastards out with facts and logic.

I have followed him so closely since mid-March and this is his best video par none.

Everything he says in this video I have been telling others the last few weeks.

I saw his YouTube videos deleted. Notice this is posted on WEVIDEO.

I am disgusted how this treatment has been smeared, lied about, politicized. It’s awful and as someone who spent decades in clinical trials and research, it is beyond awful to see what is happening here. i never thought I would have ever seen such a thing in my lifetime.
