Do I read that they just found that zinc + hydroxychloroquine was better than just hydroxychloroquine?

That's great but that doesn't exactly tell us that hydroxychloroquine + zinc is better than other therapies or even better than nothing.

The clinical trial is regarding the efficacy as a prophylaxis for a small portion of the population that is most directly exposed. It would be great if it works but it will likely not be as useful as a treatment as we can't necessarily give our whole population a years worth without seeing other health consequences.

"They've" observed all sorts of beneficial effects of zinc against viral lung infections fora while, though. "They've" observed hydroxychloroquine molecularly interacts with zinc for at least half a decade.
