The article saying Zinc is effective against coronavirus is written by Ralph Baric in 2010.

HCQ is an effective Zinc ionophore which creates passageways for Zinc to enter cells.

Hydroxychloroquine, even at prophylactic dosages, has far reaching abilities for distribution throughout the human body, including entering cells. In doing so, it has been proven to inhibit both viral RNA replication and repackaging functions inside cells by decreasing the acidity of the cytoplasmic environment within key structures such as the endoplasmic reticulum and the golgi apparatus.

In addition, Zinc is able to effectively block virus RDRP (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase) replication of RNA through limiting its engagement with ribosomes by binding with these enzymes.

It is critical for zinc to be able enter cells to destroy the virus, which makes the discovery of an ionophore as important as zinc’s primary role in infection control. Hydroxych…
