Why China got COVID-19 first? The answer could be in Selenium, an essential trace element obtained from the diet. Margaret Rayman (University of Surrey) has identified a link between the COVID-19 cure rate and regional selenium status in China.

Great insight, But can this knowledge be manipulated to get cure or enhance the control of the pandemic?
Maybe totally randomly... All that we know is that on December 10, 2019, Wei Guixian, a seafood merchant in this city’s Hua’nan market, first started to feel sick. Thinking she was getting a cold, she walked to a small local clinic to get some treatment and then went back to work.
I am delighted to say that Margaret Rayman is here at RG and so is her fascinating paper :)
What about the effects of recent role out of 5G in the heaviky affected areas. EMF is invisible but has poweful effects on all bioelectrical systems, planetary, human, insect and amoebic. Immune dysfunction is a major arm if its effects on the human system. Id be glad to hear anyone elses understanding in this area.
This is largely due to the key role played by vitamin C in antiviral activity. Glutathione, the master anti-oxidant, enables recycling of vitamin C. Glutathione contains selenium. But many of us are short of this metal and it’s only present in a few foods. A rare exception are brazil nuts which don’t really feature in Chinese cuisine.
Because the Chinese eat everything that has four legs (except the table).

Actually I properly read your answer only today. To the best of my understanding, the 5G-COVID-19 connection is a conspiracy theory (CT). I have here a JMRI paper that addresses the notion.

That said, I often wonder how far the loud use of mobile phones in public places might have contributed to the spread. After all how many coughing/sneezing people do you come across every day in a city? I am not posting another CT. it's just curiosity.
Dear Simone Roberta Plaut
Thanks for your informative answer.
You said, "many of us are short of this metal and it’s only present in a few foods." Could this lead to a deficiency, one that can cause an issue?
