      They cancel surgery and treat you based on your severity. You need two subsequent negative Covid tests to proceed. I take zinc 50 mg , vitamin c 500 Mg and vit d 10000 iU every day to increase immunit

    My surgeon said that if I tested positive I would still have surgery, but the entire surgical team would be wearing those big bulky suits with the hoods and hoses, and that after surgery I would be in an isolation room. Fortunately I tested negative.

    That is madness that they would go ahead with the surgery. I can't even fathom.
