You can get zinc OTC. Another zinc ionophore is Quercitin, which is also generally good for our immune system. Dr Z put out a protocol for preventative use: I forget how much Quercetin, but 25 mg elemental zinc per day. Zinc comes in several forms, and converting that form to how much elemental zinc is important to know how much to take. (I think he suggested 200 mg quercetin once or twice a day, but try looking it up. Anyway he did phrase it that way, so it's not a critical amount)
I don't believe this is as good as HCQ even just as a zinc ionophore, and it certainly isn't anti-viral against CCPvirus as HCQ + azithromycin proved in vitro, but the idea is at least it's something. And it would disrupt the virus' ability to replicate.
Another interesting factoid is almost everybody with the advanced stage of the disease is vitamin D deficient.
BEAUTIFUL weather we've been having! I'm not sure the debate is settled which has more lakes MN or WI, but either way the winner is Canada. Don't know if you get to go boating or to beaches, but glad you're enjoying the outdoors!
We got the heck out of MN for much of the summer and have been traveling. We are currently staying at the ocean enjoying the beach and pool everyday. If they cancel hockey, we may just stay here until things return to normal, especially since school is going online. No need to put up with those cold winters if there is no hockey!

Good thing I am spending as much time outside enjoying the sun as possible.

I grew up near the ocean. Sometimes I miss it ... say hi for me! Lol
