Covid articles from Medscape

Medscape (https://www.medscape.com) is a site that reports medical news and is a good source of information for what is going on in the world of medicine. It is American and aimed at medical professionals so not all content is relevant or of interest to us in NZ, but when the content is interesting, it is usually more readable than the original research articles that it reports.

Here are a few items about covid:

Well we are all screwed then, because we are all going to get covid sooner or later regardless of your vaccine status.

As far as zinc goes, I had been taking it for months prior to catching covid and still got it.
I was on vitamin D and everything else under the roof that I could find.

The best it does is perhaps strengthen your immune system, but its no cure or preventative.
