Nononono! Rival high school cross country coach served the team Gatorade from a galvanized water cooler and put the whole team in the hospital. Zinc is a micronutrient, you don't need much and too much is nasty.

Pennies also have copper in them and copper poisoning is nasty too. Plus... coins are dirty.

Or you could eat some oysters. You can get 'em in a small can in the canned seafood section of your grocery store.

If I had an asymptomatic positive or an early positive, I'd start out on it.  The hydro, zinc, zithro cocktail.  No problem at all.

Do you have something better ?

That would be the worst outcome for Team Trump.  If Gohmert survives (for whatever reason) and as a result more people turn to hydroxycholoroquine, then ultimately more people will be hurt.

He'll be 67 if he makes it thru August. Decent odds, but not a sure thing. At very least he can get good medical advice while he's being treated, and maybe that will scare him to his senses.

This will be a good test of loyalty: is he all in with the quacks on Team Trump, or does he want a decent shot at surviving for another term?

Odds are in favour of his surviving anyway. So he will credit the "treatment"

“There are an awful lot of people that think it’s the great thing to do all the time, but I can’t help but think if I hadn’t been wearing a mask so much in the last 10 days or so, I really wonder if I would’ve gotten it,” Gohmert said in an interview with KETK. “I know moving the mask around, getting it just right, I’m bound to have put some virus on the mask that I sucked in. That’s most likely what happened.”  - Louie Gohmert

McConnell has given up on Trump; plans to hamstring Biden with Covid Blame

Washington Post, longtime political observer Paul Waldman wrote, “McConnell has already given up on the idea of Trump being reelected, and he’s planning for the future,” Waldman said the Kentucky Republican would rather the economy continue to flounder under the current president and let Joe Biden inherit a mess — then blame him if he doesn’t clean it up quickly."
“McConnell knows what’s happening. ...From where he sits, the best outcome now is to use the next stimulus package to win minor ideological victories, but NOT allow it to be substantial enough to help in a genuine recovery." If and when Biden becomes president in 2021, the situation maybe worse. And The WORSE things are in the country at that point, the BETTER it is for Republicans. Just as they did with Barack Obama, they can blame Democrats for their own mistakes, then force austerity measures that sabotage the economy and slow the recovery.”

Adding that only someone who was singularly “amoral” would be willing to allow the continuing destruction of the country to advance his personal agenda, Waldman dryly stated:
“In other words, you’d have to be Mitch McConnell.”

GOP Candidates Open To QAnon Conspiracy Theory Advance In Congressional Races

Cash out or bet it all, the party in D.C. sees the writing on the wall. They have already glutted themselves on the various money streams coming from the Treasury for Covid 'assistance.' Four members of Congress received PPP money and Trump blew off any oversight. That deficit bubble is going to bust much faster than anyone anticipated. Financiers and Businesses are beginning to send their campaign donations to Biden, despite the possible threat of raising their taxes from 21  to 28% (it was 36% before Trump). They site the dismal response to the coronavirus is killing the economy and that foreign business and banking are treating them with pity, laughter, and suspicion. Apparently, the U.S. can't be trusted. Imagine that.
Other GOP members are 'retiring' after a nice long run. Others are slowly watching their political fortunes go down the rabbit hole of utter incompetence. There's a growing consensus that these next few months will see a silent retreat from him. Not overt, but certainly understood by all. Hospital beds are filling along with caskets and the Economy is crushed.  From the hums on the hill, Trump will find himself increasingly a leper within his own party by the election.

'Please for the love of God do not vote for my dad': Republican's daughter voices opposition

“When they go off to college, quite frankly they get involved with these Marxist, socialist universities ,and they start getting indoctrinated with things that are completely polar opposite from where you raised them,” Regan told local TV.

Regan, who describes himself on his own website as “so conservative (he) makes Rush Limbaugh look like a liberal,” says he and his daughter have disagreed on systemic racism, white privilege and Black Lives Matter.
