I have a medical reason for taking the blood thinners, I use Xarelto for DVT and have been hospitalized with pulmonary embolisms. if I catch the 'rona it could help prevent the cytokine storm.
Damage to the lungs of those young asymptomatic victims is likely also caused by clotting destroying some of the lung tissue...I have no idea, but we are aware that clotting is one of the dangerous symptoms.
As for Vitamin D, quercetin, and zinc I get plenty in my diet. Coffee alone provides sufficient quercetin but I also eat plenty of other foods which contain it. Since I'm a meat eater I get abundant zinc as well.
But I'm no fool. So I went looking for a supplement with vitamin D and zinc. I found an osteo care product with calcium magnesium zinc and vitamin D. No megadoses of any of them, which is a thing about supplements that touches a nerve with me.
It turns out that when I fell last October, I fractured two vertebrae and should probably be taking an osteo care supplement anyway. L1 and L2 are somewhat wedge shaped now with no disc between them to speak of and my life will never be quite the same...but tomorrow is never the same as yesterday anyway and today is a pretty good day.
