"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.
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.
