We're supposed to trust them???
Wanna bet that Chiquita is behind the potassium recommendation?
I fail to understand ALL the anti-government rhetoric. In the early days of COVID the disease was more transmittable and lethal than in the later days. That's why it was a fine idea to close schools and warn people not to gather indoors in large crowds. Not everyone adhered to that warning and a lot of people died - probably needlessly. Now when COVID is almost over we have a lot of "armchair quarterbacks" suggesting INCORRECTLY that COVID was NOT very transmittable and deadly.
Most people can get all the potassium that they need from foods, healthy foods. Only a few would need supplements.
