Zinc deficiency will impair macrophage functions through dysregulation of cytokines production, intracellular killing and phagocytosis. Deficiency is fairly common, estimated at 20% of population. 30-50mg good dose for daily supplementation. If not deficient, supplementing likely not helpful.

We’re literally on a zinc shortage at my hospital.

There is some language out there about Zinc lozenges and the immune system perhaps this what patients are referring too..

2nd post on catching covid

I am lucky to have mild symptoms.

I do have 1 symptom which is troubling. I feel extreme anxiousness. I have trouble sitting still and trouble sleeping. I have trouble concentrating. The doctor says anxiety is a somewhat common symptom and that Cedars Sinai is studying the potential for long term impact.

Anyone else experience this? I have never felt this before. I have a huge new appreciation for those who suffer from anxiety on a regular basis in everyday life.

Last night BF and I went out to dinner since neither of us wanted to cook. We were having an enjoyable evening and ran into a former co-worker and her husband who I have not seen since before COVID. Ex co-worker made this odd scene about my "glow up" and even posted to social media a picture she insisted both couples take.
Anyone else ever find themselves in a similar situation?
