Me.
Been doing so since last century. Allegedly supposed to boost ones immune system, and has done pretty well for us.
Had to work at a restaurant today and was talking to the owner about this schitt show into which the Orange Turd has turn this "epidemic". An old friend visited him earlier and told him about a recent conversation with another old bud who has been studying the virus since the '70's. The scientist recommended zinc lozenges to keep away the germ.

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

I had my throat galvanized and haven't had a cold or flu since!

just kidding, of course. Yes, I take some every day and will do the lozenges when I fly commercial. Can't say for sure it works, but I don't get sick that much.

Fascinating stuff; glad they mentioned the QT prolongation (heart rhythm) side effect. A lot of people miss that. Zpack has the same issue, although it seems to a lesser degree.
