The infection causes zinc deficiency.
- croes 3y agoDeficiency symptoms are slow, loss of smell was an early infection symptom. How could Corona cause a body wide deficiency if it was still early on? And where did the Zinc go?
- DoreenMichele 3y agoI don't know the answers to that. I'm not a medical professional. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22845133 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22845133 That comment is by a researcher. We talked. I was realizing I had covid and was recovering and we had been eating a lot of zinc rich foods and this helped mitigate our symptoms. I don't really understand why people feel so compelled to gang up on me on HN about really mild observations supported with citations that "x and y could be related." I have a serious medical condition which explains my interest in medical topics on hn. But after 14 years, I still cannot fathom why I get such hostility on hn for that interest. I'm probably done with trying to defend my really mild comment on this forum that other people are reacting so rabidly to. It's pointless to engage with this garbage.
