And zinc works in the same way with EGCG, resveratrol, HCQ, & other zinc ionophores https://t.co/GvzztO9r53

Quercetin should be taken with zinc. QUERCETIN itself has strong anti-viral properties. The major benefit of taking quercetin with zinc is that the quercetin will push the zinc into the center of the cell where the zinc can stop the virus from reproducing.
There are different forms of zinc. I like all of them. Zinc lozenges are made of zinc acetate. Then there is zinc carnosine for intestinal ulcers. This stuff is fantastic. Then there is OptiZinc, considered to be one of the more absorbable forms of zinc. I like taking all of these. Zinc helps regrow the Thymus gland, a vital immune organ, to its original size even after years of shrinkage from stress and other ailments.
Mark Pomykala on Twitter asked a good question,
What's the mechanism of zinc preventing viral replication?
To which Geronimo gave a terrific answer:
Zinc has many benefits against inflammation, supports immune system, but it also plays a Key role by inhibiting the protein translation of the virus during its replication process.For that it requires a ionophore (quercetin, EGCG/green tea, Artemisia, Quinine) to get inside cells
