Passend zu meinem Beitrag vom Sonntag:
@lunix/hilft-hydroxychloroquin-auch-bei-einer-erkaeltung-und-nicht-nur-gegen-corona
möchte ich hier noch ein paar Hinweise zur Wirksamkeit von Zink und Zink-Ionophoren bei Viruserkrankungen und Corona anfügen.
Ich persönlich habe keinen Zweifel mehr das Zink und passende Zink-Ionophoren neben den Vitaminen D und C zu einer Therapie bei Viruserkrankung wie Grippe oder Corona gehören.

Niedrige Zink Serumkonzentration im Blut kann schweren verlauf von Covid begünstigen:
Abstract
Background: Biomarkers to predict Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) outcome early at infection are urgently needed to improve prognosis and treatment. Zinc balances immune responses and also has a proven direct antiviral action against some viruses. Importantly, zinc deficiency (ZD) is a common condition in elderly and individuals with chronic diseases, two groups with more severe COVID-19 outcomes. We hypothesize that serum zinc content (SZC) influences COVID-19 disease progression and thus might represent a useful biomarker. Methods: We run a retrospective observational study with 249 COVID-19 patients admitted in Hospital del Mar. We have studied COVID-19 severity and progression attending to SZC at admission. In parallel we have studied SARS-CoV2 replication in the Vero E6 cell line modifying zinc concentrations. Findings: Our study demonstrates a correlation between serum zinc levels and COVID-19 outcome. Serum zinc levels lower than 50 mcgg/dl at admission correlated with worse clinical presentation, longer time to reach stability and higher mortality. Our in vitro results indicate that low zinc levels favor viral expansion in SARS-CoV2 infected cells. Interpretation: SZC is a novel biomarker to predict COVID-19 outcome. We encourage performing randomized clinical trials to study zinc supplementation as potential prophylaxis and treatment with people at risk of zinc deficiency.
Abschliesend noch ein Link aus der Wikipedia:
Chloroquin wirkt außerdem als Zink-Ionophor und bewirkt dadurch erhöhte intrazelluläre Zink-Konzentrationen. Zink wiederum wirkt hemmend auf die RNA-Polymerase von Coronaviren.
