I wanted to give our customers an update, since we have been getting a lot of questions surrounding the Coronavirus situation. We here at Nootropics Depot are currently operating like normal. However, we are taking the situation seriously. Currently, orders are being processed and shipped out like you would normally expect. However, things can change rapidly. We have been using enhanced biological protections at our facility, along with having multiple non-essential employees work from home, in an effort to social distance in a responsible manner. We have implemented a pandemic response plan, and have educated all our employees about the facts surrounding the current situation.

I can't really comment on that, as I am not directly working with the evidence. It does seem scary. Also, the reports about people losing taste and smell from it are scary, too. The top comment on that thread puts it into good perspective, though. It has not been shown in humans yet. They are just saying there are a lot of ACE2 receptors in the kidneys and testes. That just means the risk is there from a mechanism perspective. It has not been shown to actually happen in humans yet, though. Plus, my supplementation strategy is mainly focused on blocking the SARS-CoV-2 virus from binding to ACE2 to begin with. So that should protect them.
