Sitting here in a cafe reflecting on a hideous year for most people, unless you are in Japan...
I posted this 8 months ago and guess what, despite traveling all over Japan, all over the US, I haven't gotten COVID. I learned about the virus early and how to stop it. Just take a few minutes and follow these links/steps to stay healthy from Corona as well as other viruses.

"Chloroquine/Hydroxy Chloroquine and Zinc are a one two punch to the Covid19. Let me explain or you can just TLDR down to the video by a certified Doctor. Actually his video is much better.
Covid19 uses a protein called the spike (S) protein to enter your cells and begin replicating. The S protein latches onto your cell's ACE-2 receptor. Once that happens the virus can inject it's RNA into the cell hi-jacking your cell's replication system.
Chloroquine does two things, one it blocks the ACE-2 receptor so the virus can not enter the cell. The second job it has is helping Zinc enter the cell. Chloroquine is an ionophore which means it can pass ions through the cell membrane. This means it can take zinc and pass it directly into the cell. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4182877/
When zinc is in your cells it can block the virus' RNA replicase. It's like a fire extinguisher if the chloroquine should fail to stop the virus.
There it is, pretty easy to understand. I urge you to watch the Dr.'s videos. They are easy to understand and visually great!"
UPDATE: Dr. Zelenko also understood the virus and came up with a protocol to follow both when sick and as a prophylaxis. Check it out:

Prophylaxis is an action taken to prevent or protect against a specified disease. Greek in origin, from the word "phylax", meaning "to guard" and "watching."
Low Risk Patients
Young healthy people do not need prophylaxis against Covid 19. In young and healthy people, this infection causes mild cold-like symptoms. It is advantageous for these patients to be exposed to Covid-19, build up their antibodies and have their immune system clear the virus. This will facilitate the development of herd immunity and help prevent future Covid-19 pandemics. However, if these patients desire prophylaxis against Covid-19, then they should take the protocol noted below.
Moderate Risk Patients
Patients from this category are healthy but have high potential viral-load exposure. This group includes medical personnel, caregivers of high-risk patients, people who use public transportation, first responders and other essential personnel who are crucial to the continued functioning of society. These patients should be encouraged to take prophylaxis against Covid-19 in accordance with the protocol noted below.
High Risk Patients
Patients are considered high risk if they are over the age of 45, or if they are younger than 45 but they have comorbidities, that is, they have other health conditions that put them at risk. These patients have between a 5 to 10% mortality rate if they are infected with Covid-19. These patients should be strongly encouraged to take prophylaxis against Covid-19 in accordance with the protocol noted below.
Protocol for Low and Moderate Risk Patients:
Elemental Zinc 25mg 1 time a day
Vitamin D 5000iu 1 time a day
Vitamin C 1000mg 1 time a day
Quercetin 500mg 1 time a day until a safe and efficacious vaccine becomes available
If Quercetin is unavailable, then use Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) 400mg 1 time a day
Protocol for High Risk Patients:
Elemental Zinc 25mg once a day
Vitamin D 5000iu 1 time a day
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 200mg 1 time a day for 5 days, then 1 time a week until a safe and efficacious vaccine becomes available
If HCQ is unavailable, then use the Protocol for Low and Moderate Risk Patients.
Thanks for reading!
This is good to know. I generally don’t worry to much as long as I’m not being stuffed in tiny spaces with depressed unhealthy people too often. I trust my immune system cause I’m not willing to sacrifice my life and enjoyment for something so suspicious and inconsistent.
I know a lot of people are skeptical of Chinese medicine but I’ve been able to avoid all but one one cold for the past 6 years by avoiding “hot” and “wet” foods (sugar, alcohol, coffee, spicy food, mango, lychee) and sometimes fasting 24 hours immediately after I start having symptoms, swollen glands usually being the first. I cure most headaches in seconds with self/massage on my head and shoulders. Just my experience. 😀
It's amazing that we aren't taught how our natural immune systems work against invaders. Simply understanding the mechanism of how COVID gets into you and what it does can give you the power to knock it down. Not only COVID though, many viruses.
The old herbs like zinc lozenges, I know understand why Europe came up with them and used them. Growing up in the states I always thought those other countries' herbal medicines were worthless. The polyphenols in green tea are also antiviral.
